the bitterness between the Navy and the Marine Corps versus the Air Force and the Army would fester and take many years to recede. Indeed, as late as the early 21st century, there remain many retired Navy and Marine Corps officers who resent the way their services were treated by the Army and the Air Force in the late 1940s and early 1950s, combined with Matthews' systemic failure to counter it, and it has remained a touchstone in the professional education of subsequent generations of commissioned officers in the Navy and Marine Corps, especially those in Naval Aviation, in the decades since. It is for this primary reason that Matthews' tenure as SECNAV is considered to be mediocre by some and an abject failure by others. Knights of Columbus Matthews served as the 8th Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus from 1939 to 1945. He had been nominated for the position in 1937 while serving as Deputy Supreme Knight, but had declined the nomination. Creighton Phi Chi Matthews' former Omaha, Nebraska home located at 3920 Dewey Avenue has served as the Chi Upsilon chapter residence of the Creighton University School of Medicine Phi Chi Medical Fraternity since the 1960s. The home was designed in the Jacobean Revival style by H. A. Raapke, and was built in 1916. The stately house was Gottlieb Storz's (owner of Storz Brewery in Omaha) wedding present to his niece, Louise, upon her marriage to Earl Buck, another former resident. Constructed of brick and trimmed with limestone, the house displays many of the hallmarks of its architectural style, including wide Tudor-Gothic arches, limestone lintels over the windows, a large two-story bay window, and a gabled roof. Asymmetrical composition and Jacobean fenestration are also typical of the style. The residence has an outlying carriage house with second-floor servants' quarters. It maintains a long history of hosting medical students during their training. A painting of Francis P. Matthews hangs above the grand staircase in his honor. References Wolk, Herman S.
