Notes:

GEORGE TERWILLIGER   George Terwilliger, attorney at law, Justice of the Peace, Notary Public and insurance agent, at Fulton, was born in the town of New Scotland, Albany, N. Y., and is the son of John and Margaret (Reid) Terwilliger, his father being of Holland descent and his mother of Scotch.
 At the age of nine years he moved with his parents to De Witt, Onondaga, N. Y., and remained with his father on the farm, receiving the ordinary common-school education, until he entered the Onondaga Academy, located at Onondaga Hollow, where he took a four years’ course and graduated in the class of 1850. He then commenced the study of the law with Forbes & Sheldon, in the city of Syracuse, and was admitted to practice in all the Courts of New York State on the 5th of July, 1852. During the time he was studying law he frequently assisted in editing the Syracuse Daily Journal, one of the leading newspapers in the interior of New York State, and after his admission to the Bar became editor-in-chief of that paper. He remained in this position for about two years, when he resigned on account of a change in the proprietorship, he being Free-Soil in his proclivities, while the new proprietors were pro-slavery in their views. Shortly after his resigning he was elected City Attorney of the city of Syracuse, receivng the highest vote cast for any one on his ticket except the candidate for City Treasurer. In 1857 he removed to New York city, where he practiced law, and was also honored with positions in the Custom House, and in the Tax Commissioner’s office. While a resident of New York he was admitted to practice in the United States District and Circuit Courts.
 In the summer of 1870 he came West in accordance with a long considered intention, and purchased the Sterling Gazette, which paper he conducted with ability and success until March, 1872, when he sold out and moved to Fulton, purchasing the Fulton Journal. In the fall of 1872 he sold a one-half interest in the Journal to Dr. W. C. Snyder, now State Senator, he taking the editorial department, and Dr. Snyder the business department. In 1876 he sold his interest in the Journal, and virtually laid aside the editorial quill. When the Legislature of 1877 convened, his reputation was such that he easily secured a clerkship in the House of Representatives, and served during the session. In the spring of that year he was elected Justice of the Peace of Fulton, and on his return from Springfield entered upon the duties of his office. In June, 1877, he was employed in editing and compiling Bent’s History of Whiteside, and completed the work in the following January. At the session of the Legislature in 1879 he was elected First Assistant Secretary of the Senate, and was, re-elected at the session of 1881, the Senators being so well pleased with his services that at this session they presented him with an elegant gold watch. At the special session of 1881 he was elected Secretary of the Senate. During the years 1874, 1875 and 1876, he was City Clerk of the city of Fulton. He has been Justice of the Peace of the town of Fulton for eight years, and at the late spring election was again elected, without opposition, for four years more.
 Mr. Terwilliger has been a member of the Masonic Order since 1862, having been made a Mason in New York city. He was married while editing the Syracuse Daily Journal, to Miss Matilda B. Fowler, daughter of John and Eliza Fowler, Mrs. Terwilliger being a native of New York city. They have two children, both girls: Lillian, wife of Henry H. Denton, of Newtown, Queens, N. Y., and Georgiana, unmarried.
 Mr. T. is Republican in politics, and has been an active member of the party since its organization. He is a popular Justice, his thorough knowledge of law and judicial turn of mind enabling him to make his rulings and decisions in accordance with law and evidence, so that his judgments are seldom reversed. As a writer Mr. Terwilliger is favorably known throughout Northern and Western Illinois by his connection with the press, and his able compilation of the History of Whiteside County in 1877.

Letter from Prescott Orde Skinner to Mitia Olga Skinner:

[Mitia Olga is Prescott’s niece. First two pages of this letter are lost. Date is unknown]
 “[…] her aunt Alice (my wife) is most attractive. They are all coming up to Hanover to pass the Christmas. Alicias’s family with her husband’s (John Carleton) family, and John Skinner and Helen with us.
 “Now as to the Skinners, I will tell you what I know. The family in the late 17th or early 18th century, sailed from Chichester, England, settling in Colchester, Connecticut. Alice got a lot of the early history of our family from my mother who got it in turn from my father. Alice will write this early period to you. The Skinners that I descend from were all professional men, mostly ministers.
 “My grandfather Joseph Churchill Skinner was a Baptist minister in Nova Scotia and then in New Brunswick. I have his portrait taken in the 1840s or 1850s; an impressive looking man, dignified in his white shirt, and the dress ot his time.
 “At the beginning of the Revolution War, my ancestors Skinners were Tories (my father was not proud of this). They, with a few other of the same attachment to England, got into a large open boat and amidst all the perils of the sea, sailed north along the New England coast to Nova Scotia. I think they settled in what is known as the Evangeline country – but Alice will tell you about this.
 “My grandfather, the Rev. Joseph Churchill was called to New Brunswick and lived and preached for many years in a town on the Washademoak Lake, about fifty miles from the City of St. John up the St. John river.
 “My father was the second of seven children, born in Nova Scotia about two months before the family left for New Brunswick (1825). My father worked hard under difficulties, and finally entered Fredericton Academy (in New Brunswick) thence to Harvard University. He studied in the Harvard Medical School under such men as Professor Stones and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. My father used to tell us a great many anecdotes about Dr. Holmes in the classroom. My father was in the 1850s or 1860s interim in Mass. General Hospital.
 “For a number of years, my father practiced in St. John, New Brunswick. He made some money there, then went to Boston in Tremont Street, near the Common where I was born, then to the South End where he bought a house and made his office there. Later he sold the house, and our family moved to Roxbury a sort of suburb of Boston.
 “The story of my father’s marriage, Alice will tell you about. My mother, the best of women, insisted on us four boys having the finest opportunities for education. Macy and I in Harvard University, Vernon in Law School, and your father in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he stood well as a student.
 “Later I studied at the University of Paris – Harvard graduate School, and taught for 38 years at Dartmouth College where I am now a professor emeritus on a pension.
 “I don’t know but I think that the Daughters of the America Revolution insist on the ancestors being a native patriot. My own sympathies are all with the American cause, and in spite of my father’s ancestrial party membership, my father from boyhood always was in sympathy with the American cause.
 “But ask me some more and I will try to answer. Your Aunt Alice and I congratulate you on your engagement most heavily. As you write it, it seems a perfect match. By the way your aunt Alice is very fond of you.
 Love – Uncle Orde.”

From the “Harvard College, Class of 1896 Fiftieth Anniversary Report”:

Prescott Orde Skinner (1908)

PRESCOTT ORDE SKINNER took his A.M. at Harvard in 1897, and continued graduate study at Harvard and in Paris until 1900, whe he was appointed instructor in French at Dartmouth College. He served as professor of Romance Languages at Dartmouth until he became emeritus in 1938.
 “After my childhood which was spent in one of the pleasanter (no longer so) parts of the South End in Boston,” he writes, “I passed eight long profitable years at the Public Latin School in Boston. After an interval of several years, I entered Harvard. My two years in the Graduate School were a great revelation to me under the inspiration of Professors Grandgent an Sheldon. there I formed lifelong friendships with other students, many of whom entered a profession similar to my own.
 “My graduate studies were continued at the École des Hautes Études in Paris under world-famous scholars. I revisited Paris and other parts of Europe off and on – long enough each time to get the foreign atmosphere, cultivate some knowledge and love of the arts, and make some lasting friends, especially in France. Then followed thirty-seven years of teaching at Dartmouth College.
 “Since my promotion (ironic user of the word) to the status of professor emeritus at the age of seventy, I have missed somewhat my old classroms, but have not suffered too much from boredom. I have always loved long walks along the open road, through fields, woods, and over hills – deambulare per amoena loca. Today the length and speed of these walks are considerably curtailed. I have enjoyed frequent sojourns with my married children and find my grandchildren most attractive.
 “Locally, I frequent our splendid Dartmouth Library, have coffee down town with old cronies, and can appreciate the restfulness of my home life in our ancient Webster Cottage. Webster roomed in this house in his freshman year.
 “As I no longer have to keep to my former professional specialties, I indulge in the most miscellaneous reading an rereading, generally but not always of a high order. I might add that I follow Harvard’s athletic activities and am still a confirmed Harvard rooter.”
 Skinner was born April 28, 1867, at Boston, Massachusetts, the son of John Skinner and Jennie Reid (Terwilliger) Skinner. “The Public Latin School in Boston,” he writes, “offered an eight-year course of study. We had Latin twice a day regularly, five years of Greed, plenty of modern and ancient history, and mathematics, English, and French in addition. From this training I gained a lifelong love for these subjects which was further stimulated by my Harvard teachers. Today I am reviewing with great pleasure the works of Horace”.
 On July 10, 1901, Skinner married Alice Van Leer Carrick at Boston, Massachusetts. Their children are: Margaret Van Leer (Mrs. Hancort), born August 12, 1902; John Carrick, born October 21, 1905; and Alicia Prescott (Mrs. Carleton), born December 10, 1909. There are five grandchildren. Skinner’s brother, Macy Millmore Skinner, received an A.B. from Harvard in 1894, an A.M. in 1895, and a Ph.D. in 1897.
 In World War II Skinner’s son, John, was a lieutenant in the New York National Guard.
 Skinner has written textbooks on his field. In 1937 Dartmouth conferred upon him the degree of Litt. D.

Webster Cottage – Dartmouth College

[…] P.O. Skinner owned the house by 1905; Alice Van Leer Carrick (his wife) wrote The Next-To-Nothing House about the cottage and its antiques collection in 1922. The College bought the building from Skinner in 1928 and moved it for Silsby Hall to a site at 27B North Main Street across from the Gamma Delta Chi House. Now the house faced the Choate House, the other Ripley dwelling. The College moved the house again c.1966 to the site in front of Cutter Hall where it now stands, again facing the Choate House. The building now houses the Hanover Historical Society. The c.1997 faculty residence that the College attached to Cutter/Shabazz stands in line with Webster Cottage and follows its appearance.[…]”

 BOSTON, Dec. 24. – Mayor George A. Hibbard’s Christmas surprise for Penal Commissioner Vernon V. Skinner to-day was his removal from office and the appointment in his place of Stree Commissioner Gui C. Emerson. Mayor Hibbard directed Emerson to dismiss Deputy Commissioner Herbert S. Carruth as well.
 Mayor Hibbard bases his action on the allegation that Skinner and Carruth have been guilty of “suppression and misrepresentation” of the conditions existing at Deer Island, where the Suffolk County Hous of Correction is maintained.
 Skinner on Wednesday testified before the Finance Commission that the penal institution’s steamer Monitor had been loaned for private excursions at the request of the Mayor or his secretary, James C. White; that officers at the Deer Island institution had been kept in office after having been detected supplying prisoners with morphine, and that intoxication among the officers at the institution was not extremely rare.

Notes:

Macy Millmore Skinner graduated from Harvard University in 1894 (PhD). He attended the University of Heidelberg in Germany, probably studying economics. He apparently became well respected, worldwide, as an economist. From 1895 to 1914, he was professor in the German Department at Stanford University (California). A scandal (see doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4) forced him to resign suddenly in August 1914. He went to China where he was an economic advisor to Sun Yat-Sen. He came back to America, and went on to the University of Washington where he was Business Professor in the Economics Department and Dean of Men.

From Harvard College. Class of 1894, Sixth Report (May 1914) :
MACY MILLMORE SKINNER – I spent the year 1911-1912 with my family in Germany. In the months of August and September, 1911, I represented Stanford University at the centennial festivities of the universities of Breslau, Germany, and Christiania, Norway. During my absence, I was advanced to Associate Professor of German at Stanford.

 After graduation, I continued my work in the Graduate School and made my PH.D. in Semitic Languages and Literature in 1897. I went abroad on a Rogers Fellowship, and spent one year at Strassburg, and one at Berlin. On my return, finding that the prospect of making satisfactory progress in the teaching profession in my line was not a brilliant one, I changed to German, for which I had always had a strong liking. I was appointed Instructor in German at Harvard and remained there for six years, that is, until the spring of 1905, when I was called to Stanford University, Cal., as Assistant Professor of German. My family and I spent the year 1911-12 in Germany. In the months of August and September, 1911, I represented Stanford University at the centennial festivities of the universities of Beslau, Germany, and Christiania, Norway. During my absence, I was advanced to Associate Professor of German at Stanford. Having always had a strong desire to see the Orient, I gave up my position at Stanford in 1914 and sailed for China, where I spent two years in educational work. On my return in 1916, I was appointed to teach Chinese in the University of Washington, where I am at present located.

Macy Millmore Skinner, 1947

MACY MILLMORE SKINNER was born “in the very center of Boston,” the son of John Skinner, M.D. ’56, and Jeanie Reid Terwilliger. He is now living in Seattle (2006 25th N.), and is teaching at the University of Washington. He tells his own story:
 “My father, who was a graduate of the Harvard Medical School, and my mother, who had intellectual interests and rather unusual literary talent, encouraged their four sons to seek the best educational training attainable. So three of us attended the Boston Latin School and Harvard, and one the English High School in Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 “The Boston Latin School emphasised particularly the study of the classical languages, Latin and Greek, and, with its high standard of scholarship requirements, gave me habits of application and thoroughness that stood me in good stead through a long educational career, and, in particular, determined the direction my interests took at the University. There I continued with my classical studies, but added Spanish, German, and some more French to my répertoire, and later branched out into the Oriental field, taking courses in Oriental history and civilization, and several Semitic languages, Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, and Phoenician. Eventually I secured a Ph.D. degree in Semitic languages and literature.
 “Sent abroad on a Rogers Traveling Fellowship, I spent two years in Europe, studying at Strassburg and Berlin. During this period, in addition to attending various courses in classical and modern Arabic, Persian, comparative philology, philosophy, and literature, I took the opportunity of working up an acquaintance with the older Germanic dialects, a study which I continued when, on my return, I was appointed to an instructorship in German at Harvard. During the following summers, I went back to Europe for further work at a number of universities – Heidelberg, Leipzig, Marburg, etc. Incidentally, I now added Italian to my linguistic interests.
 “In 1905, I was called to Stanford University as assistant professor of Germanic languages and literature, and in the Spring of my first year there, went through the ordeal of the California earthquake. With my family I spent my sabbatical year of 1911-1912 in Europe.
 “My Oriental interests drew me in 1914 to China, where I spent two years in educational work, incidentally devoting some time to the study of the Chinese, and to a lesser degree, the Japanese language. I returned in 1916 in order to do my part in World War I, for which I saw, that we, too, were heading. I was appointed assistant professor in the University of Washington in Seattle, where I taught German, and also introduced courses in the Chinese language. My six years of military training at the Boston Latin School stood me in good stead at this time, and I was one of a few professors chosen to train our students for service overseas. I was also made Dean of Men at the University.
 “As the war closed I weighted the possibility of securing a position at some eastern university in comparative philology, but accepted an assistant professorship in the College of Business Administration at the University of Washington, where I introduced courses of economic geography. I later headed the Department of Foreign Trade, for which my travels, my life abroad, my knowledge of economics geography, as well as of languages and customs of various peoples, seemed to fit me. In the heyday of international commerce that followed the war, I was instrumental in building up a large and flourishing department, and my students began to go out into the foreign trade field, and the United States consular service, all over the world.
 “In 1921, I was sent to China for two years as exchange professor and director of the department of business administration at Ling Nam University in Canton, being at the same time a representative of the Carnegie Foundation for World Peace. On my return I took up my work again as professor of foreign trade. A few years later I was sorely tempted to accept an offer of some Chinese government agencies to head a projected college of commerce there, but I decided to remain at my post in the United States. Having now reached the retiring age, I am on half-time, although I still conduct the foreign trade courses.
 “In the last twenty years or so I have supervised the work of one Ph.D. candidate and some forty A.M. candidates. My subject has been a popular one in the Northwest, here on the shore of the Pacific, and I have been called upon to deliver many addresses at conventions and to various civic group on topics connected with the international trade field.
 “My profoundest pleasure has been my contacts with eager minds of young men who want to go out into the great world to implement the gospel of international intercourse and amity through the interchange of material goods and services. At the college age they are still impressionable, and accept, with conviction, the social doctrine of ‛the greatest good to the greatest number.’
 “I have no particularly developed philosophy of life, except perhaps that our mission here must be to help others to get started right, and to live fruitfully and happily. There is no joy so great as that which lies in tried and true friendship, and in devotion to ideals of human service.
 “I am firmly conviced that, after the present war, the nations of the world must form a closer family unit, one for all and all for one; individual nations, politically, yet joined together in an organization that will enforce the peace, see justice done for all, and work for the prosperity and happiness of all. This is the kind of world we want our children and our children’s children to live in, and we must not fail to establish it after the work of the soldier is over, and mankind returns to the pursuits of peace.”
 Skinner was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his Junior year. He was graduated summa cum laude, with honors in Semitic Languages. He received an A.M. in 1895 and a Ph.D. in 1897. He was a member of the Episcopal Church. During World War I he was adjutant of the Inter-collegiate Intelligence Bureau (later merged into the War Service Exchange), and captain-instructor in the R.O.T.C. during the same period. He has been elected several times, and is at present president of the Pan Xenia, the International Student Foreign Trade Fraternity.
 He has written various articles on Assyrian an Hebrew linguistic problems and the study of German. His publications include: “Review of Heinrich Keiter and Tonny Keller’s Theorie und Technik des Romans un der erzählenden Dichtkunst,” Modern Language Notes, XXIV, 8 December, 1909; “Brief Notes on the Indebtednes of Spielhagen to Dickens,” Journal of English and Germanic Philology, IX, 4, 1910; “Critical Survey of the Biographies of Friedrich Spielhagen,” Modern Language Notes, March, 1911; “Foreign Trade, its Growth and Importance,” Washington Purchasing Agent and Manufacturer, December, 1927; “Some Aspects of the Trade of the Pacific,” Proceedings, 6th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Collegiate Economic Conference, Vancouver, B.

His club memberships include the Harvard Club of Seattle, the China Club of Seattle, the Alpha Kappa Psi, a national student business fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, a national college fraternity, and Pan Xenia.
 He married Marian Weymouth Junkins, Sept. 19, 1903, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. They have three children: Selby Millmore, born July 19, 1905; Barbara Reid (Mrs. Gilmore), born Nov. 19, 1907; and Carlton, born April 8, 1913. Both boys are in the service, Selby as a lieutenant colonel in the Barrage Balloon, Anti-aircraft Division, and Carlton as a lieutenant in the Coast Guard.

    “We in America emerged from the struggle [World War I] apparently in the healthiest, wealthiest condition it had ever been our fortune to enjoy. […] A new and glorious start for higher peaks of human satisfaction and dazzling world-supremacy – and then we awoke to find it all a dream. Disillusioned we emerged from this Fool’s Paradise into a world of cold and inexorable reality, where the sight of silenced mill and workshop, haunted by the grim specter of want and the unmerited suffering of millions of fellow human beings, plunged us into the depths of sadness and despair. The evil wrought by man in half a generation cannot be repaired in a year or two. But it will be repaired in time, but only by a fundamental setting of the world’s house in order.” – Business Professor M. M. Skinner, December 1931.

Sen. Scott’s Secretary Is Actress
By John Koenig Jr. – Associated Press Special Service

WASHINGTON (AP) — Many of Washington’s government girls aspire to the theater but seldom does one come from New York’s Broadway to Washington. But Miss Edith Skinner, executive secretary to Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., followed that route.
 “Edie”, as she is known to friends, family and colleagues at the capitol, appeared in summer stock and little theaters before having her bing fling at a Broadway role. “I was working to become Broadway’s best character actress,” pretty, brown-eyed Miss Skinner says.
 Her big chance came with the play, “Ivy Green”, a dramatized life of Charles Dickens. Miss Skinner had hopes of getting a starring role. She did win a spot as understudy to the star but the play lasted only a few weeks on Broadway.
 This was 1952, the year of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first presidential campaign. One day Miss Skinner strolled into the Citizens for Eisenhower headquarters in New York. She was promptly drafted for a new role — not in the theater, but working for Eisenhower for President.
 Here she first met Scott. then a member of the House. And Scott. active himself in the Eisenhower campaign, was appreciative of the work done by Miss Skinner. Came election day and the end of Miss Skinner’s campaign work. “What are you going to do now?” she was asked by Scott. “I have always wanted to visit Paris. So I’ve decided to take a job over there for two years,” the actress-campaigner replied. “Don’t do it.” said Scott. “We want you in Washington.”
The upshot was that Miss Skinner was offered a post she couldn’t resist – secretary to Scott in his then House office. His former secretary had resigned.
 Scott subsequently won election to the Senate and Miss Skinner continued as his aide. She has no regrets now about leaving the theater. “After all,” she said, “politics is about the closest thing you can get to the stage.” (source: The Evening Standard, 29 Sept. 1960).

Scott Aide Quits
Edith Skinner, Sen. Scott’s personal secretary throughout his Senate career, has retired to live on the Mediterranean island of Majorca. Miss Skinner went to work for Scott 21 years ago when he was a Philadelphia congressman (source: The Pittsburgh Press, 5 Aug. 1973).

Miss Skinner attended college in California and moved to New York, where ... Survivors include her sister, Alice Hulette of Arizona and five nephews.

 The Court established an archive on 21 February 1947, keeping track of original documents under conditions of high security. The archivist, Barbara Skinner Mandelaub, serviced the prosecution and defence, maintaining a definitive set of trial transcripts. The staff was subject to a rigorous efficiency rating to maintain output and quality of work. A requirement for an archives assistant was meticulous presentation and order, as These elements a of importance in prepration or records such as indexing, cataloguing and classifying of material which is to be of permanent value for legal an historical reference for generations to come. Mandelaub increased the security and made sure that only archives staff retrieved or filed records, and the archives issued certified copies rather than originals so that nothing could be lost or destroyed. The Trial Documents achieved what amounted to sacrosanct status, once they had gone through the stages of authentication and been presented to the Court, where their authenticity could be challenged. Culprits were to be convicted by the masses of paperwork that the desk-bound killers had generated.”

From “Marblehead Community” — December 14, 2000.

Marblehead man not afraid to make waves at sea
By Stephen Decatur, Special to the reporter

 We who live in Marblehead are fortunate to be surrounded by a fascinating universe. But never mind the harbor, the boats, the wonderful architecture and the myriad other things: one of the most important aspects of this town is its people.
Today we meet a man who has demonstrated a wide range of talents: captain of the world’s largest sailing yacht (though it had no masts at the time), friend of one of this country’s great black artists, governor of the island of Guam, resident of Paris every summer, and owner of a good measure of social conscience.
 Carlton Skinner is our man. Born in California and educated at a venerable New England prep school, he now resides in Marblehead. After college he went to work for the Wall Street Journal. Later he almost joined the Republicans in Spain fighting the fascists during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. He decided against it, however, because he disapproved of the behavior of the Communists who had infiltrated the anti-fascist forces allied against Franco. Then along came the beginnings of World War II.
 As a sailor and boat racer, Skinner’s preference was the Navy or Coast Guard. He was commissioned a lieutenant, junior grade, in the Coast Guard Reserve and ordered to sea as executive officer aboard the cutter “Northland”. Just several months before the Pearl Harbor attack, the “Northland” landed a shore party on the coast of Greenland. Young Lt. Skinner was in command.
 It seems the Nazis had set up a weather station there. We were not at war with Germany at the time, of course, but the United States had very friendly and “cordial” relations with the Danish government in exile. (Denmark had been overrun by the Germans in 1940.) The weather station was captured and put out of operation with no shots fired or casualties.
 Thus ended what could be considered the first land action by U.S. forces in the coming war, although technically we were still at peace. America had by this time become extremely pro-British and extremely anti-German, even to the extent of our warships protecting Britain-bound convoys. In fact, we had several skirmishes with U-boats, including a most serious one when one of our destroyers was actually sunk.
 After a short stint as commander of an LST landing craft, Skinner became captain of the USS Sea Cloud. She was (and still is) an interesting ship, indeed. Officially a U.S. Navy ship, she was manned by the U.S. Coast Guard. Sea Cloud was owned by the cereal heiress Marjorie Post Hutton Davies and her husband, Joseph Davies, the ambassador to the Soviet Union and later to Belgium.
 The ship was the largest privately owned sailing yacht in the world. Built in Germany as a four-masted bark, she’s 316 feet long and displaces 3,600 tons. (She is still active to this day as a cruise ship in the Mediterranean.) Sea Cloud’s masts had been removed, only enough remaining for radio and communication purposes. Armaments were two 3-inch guns, depth charges and a slew of antiaircraft weapons. Her duties were weather and anti-submarine patrols between Greenland, Iceland and Bermuda, with home ports in Boston or Newfoundland.
 USS Sea Cloud was decommissioned out of the service in late 1944. The Navy fixed her up somewhat and returned the ship to Mrs. Davies, along with $750,000 to complete the restoration. The U.S. government had paid $1 per year to use the ship in the first place.
 After the war Sea Cloud passed through several owners, one of whom was Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic. When he was assassinated in 1964 she was resold to a consortium which eventually converted her to a cruise ship.
 Long before boarding the Sea Cloud, Skinner had become aware of the terrible waste of manpower and talent in the Coast Guard and Navy. While aboard any ship at sea, African-American seamen were relegated to being stewards waiting upon white officers, or were mess mates or cooks. This was true no matter what a man’s potential and abilities were.
 Not only that, but the unfairness of it all bothered Skinner, now a lieutenant commander. Skinner wrote to many higher-ups in Washington and finally was allowed to experiment with some of his black crew. Men were at last allowed to study and to achieve ratings such as machinist’s mates, quartermasters, gunner’s mates, or whatever their bent may have been.
 Along the way this would mean a further integration between the black and white crews aboard ship. Skinner had “found the artificial distinction between race and color can disappear,” he said.
 One of the stewards aboard Sea Cloud was Jacob Lawrence. Skinner learned immediately that Lawrence was one of America’s great “social realist” painters. Born in 1917 in Harlem, he had already become famous with his narrative and thematic series of paintings telling of the black experience. Using representational imagery and brilliant colors, his works are reminiscent of the mural and wall paintings so popular in the 1930s. Lawrence is particularly noted for his monumental 41 paintings titled “The Migration Series” of 1940-41. Another series portrayed the lives of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass.
 In keeping with Skinner’s plans to integrate his crew, Lawrence was put to painting the wartime activities of the Coast Guard. Those works served a valuable function in bringing the war to the American public. Many still survive today in museums and private collections.
 Lawrence painted only two portraits. One is of Carlton Skinner and is now at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Incidentally, Jacob Lawrence died this past June at age 82. His memorial service at the Riverside Church in New York City was attended by 2,500 people.
 So it was that the Navy and Coast Guard fully integrated their ships by 1945, due in major part to Carlton Skinner’s efforts. As a result of his leadership, Skinner was asked to be the first post-war governor of the island of Guam in the Pacific.
 Guam had at that time about 30,000 indigenous people, along with thousands of temporary American civilian and military personnel. Guam was a major wartime base in the Pacific during the war. Few problems arose during Skinner’s leadership of the transition from a military to a civil government between 1949 and 1953.
 After that, Skinner worked in the shipping business and for corporations in the eastern United States. Now retired, he appears still to have a lot of salt in his veins. These days he regularly enjoys the best of two worlds: he and his wife divide their time between Paris in the summers and Marblehead the rest of the year.

This is one of a series of occasional articles about Marblehead people, past and present, and their relationship with the sea.

In June 1943 Lieutenant Commander Carlton Skinner’s proposal that the U.S. Coast Guard establish an entirely integrated force eventually led to the commissioning of the first integrated ship in the armed forces, the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sea Cloud. Skinner commanded a 200-man crew that included 4 African-American officers and 100 black enlisted men. Decommissioned in November 1944, this ship’s crew helped break down military segregation at sea.
After World War II, he was a public relations officer in the Department of Interior, and was selected by the Interior Department, nominated by the Navy Department and then appointed by the President to serve as Guam’s first civilian Governor. He took the oath of office on September 17, 1949. (Picture1, Picture2 taken during the 50 years celebration).

Belvedere Man Is Appointed to Tourist Commission By Brown
 Cartlon Skinner, of Belvedere, was named today by Governor Edmund G. Brown as chairman of the Tourism and Visitor Services Commision. The Commission, which was created by the 1964 Legislature, has a total of 15 members. Skinner was named as a general public representative to the Commission. The appointment requires Senate confirmation.
 “Carlton Skinner, a man of international reputation, is highly qualified for this new post.” the Governor said. “I am proud that the State of California can attract men of his talent, knowledge and ability as our new tourism and visitor services program begins to move into high gear. With an agressive and imaginative program we can help attract new tourist spending in our state and new tourist industries that can provide a major stimulus fo our state economy.”
 A graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles, Skinner presently heads Skinner and Company, a management consultant firm in San Francisco. He was director of the Virgin Islands Corporation and was formerly employed by the United States Maritime Commision. Skinner is a former trustee of the United Seaman’s Service.
 A former governor of Guam (1949-1953), Skinner was appointed by the late President Kennedy as senior commissioner for the United States on the South Pacific Commission. This Commission is responsible for non-selfgoverning territories in the Pacific. He was formerly executive assistant to the President of the American President Lines, and was vice president of the Fairbanks-Whitney Corporation. (source : Sausalito News, 23 Februray 1966)

Nauru Appoints Honorary Consul
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An airline official has been named honorary consul to the United States by one of the smallest independant nations in the world – Nauru. The government of the South Pacific island Monday named Carlton Skinner, 57, as its consul in San Francisco. Skinner is board chairman here of Air Micronesia and the title was given him as a courtesy. Nauru is 1,300 miles north-east of Australia, measures eight miles square, has a population of 7,000 and is rich in phosphates. (source : Charleston Daily Mail, Tuedsay, December 7, 1971).

 Alice Jacklet has been an important professional in the Department of Biological Sciences for nearly three decades. After serving as research technician in cell biology and research assistant in developmental neurobiology for 11 years, she was appointed to her current position as Instructional Support Specialist.
 Here she coordinates the laboratories for the General Biology program, keeping well organized a cadre of 500 students and 15 graduate teaching assistants. She coordinates all labs and the lectures, places orders for supplies, monitors inventory, supervises the teaching assistants, designs and preps the labs, writes and illustrates the lab exercises, and generally, say colleagues, keeps the entire operation running smoothly — a far cry from the situation she faced when first taking over the job. Her goal of providing an atmosphere that can inspire students to seek the excitement of discovery and the pleasure of solving a problem is realized time and again.
 After more than 25 years she is now prized, not only in the Department of Biological Sciences, but also across the entire campus for her extraordinary energy and determination, excellent organizational skills, and unselfish commitment to students and this institution.
 In addition Jacklet has provided to the external community a stellar array of extra- curricular services. This dedication includes service on seven departmental committees, 22 University-wide committees; service to ten student-related organizations, events, committees, and scholastic endeavors; and workshop presentations for nine classes at five Capital Region elementary schools in five different communities.
 Besides her outstanding work in teaching and mentoring students, she has contributed significantly professionally, publishing four textbooks and laboratory manuals, authoring or co-authoring five scientific articles, and authoring ten reviews of major works in the field of biology.

Alice received her B.A. in Biology from Middlebury College and her M.S. from the University of Oregon in Eugene. She is the overall coordinator of as team-taught Genereal Biology course, specifically teaching and supervising the laboratory sections. Her research interests include mammalian systematics and behavior. (Source : An Analysis of Bone/Muscle Movement. Alice C. Jacklet. 1994).

Girl Nearly Hit By Train In Tiburon
 What might have been a tragic accident at an unauthorized crossing on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad tracks near Tiburon Reed School resulted in minor bruises Friday when a 10-year-old student at the school tripped as she crossed the tracks, apparently unaware that a freight train was bearing down on her. Andrea Skinner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Skinner of Edgewater road in the lagoon area of Belvedere, was pushing her bicycle across the forbidden crossing toward the school when she tripped and fell. She had enough presence of mind to roll away from the rails as the train bore down on her, completely demolishing her bike, reported Belvedere Police Chief Etogene Meyer. As soon as the train could be stopped, the crew rushed back to the spot but the youngster had vanished. “In this case, we were lucky,” Meyer reported. “We know that many youngsters have been walking across this unauthorized spot rather than take a longer, safer way to school.” Meyer joined with Reed School Principal Lloyd R. O”Connor in appealing for the help of parents in forbidding children to cross the railroad tracks avospt at authorized crossings. (Source: Daily Independant Journal from San Rafael, California.
