      	EDWARD D. MOYLAN, Jr. The work he has chosen to do and in which his 
efficiency has enabled him to render a large and important service is that of 
physical director, and Mr. Moylan since his release from the Naval service 
during the World war has given his full time to the duties of this position in 
connection with the Young Men’s Christian Association at Miami.
	Mr. Moylan was born at Charleston, South Carolina, in 1893. He was 
liberally educated, attending the Y. M. C. A. Summer School at Blue Ridge, 
North Carolina, and at Jacksonville, Florida. As a young man he took an all-around
interest in athletics and physical training, and has devoted years to the study of
the technical side of physical education. He is naturally gifted with abilities of
leadership so that he is splendidly qualified for the task involved in the work of a
physical director. His first service in that capacity was in connection with the Y.
M. C. A. at Charleston, South Carolina, of which he was appointed assistant physical
director in 1915.
	The only important interruption to his service was the twenty
around interest in athletics and physical training, and has devoted years to
the study of the technical side of physical education. He is naturally gifted
with abilities of leadership so that he is splendidly qualified for the task
involved in the work of a physical director. His first service in that capacity
was in connection with the Y. M. C. A. at Charleston, South Carolina, of which
he was appointed assistant physical director in 1915.
	The only important interruption to his service was the twenty-three 
months he spent with the navy during the World war. He enlisted at Charleston 
in the summer of 1917, and was later commissioned an ensign after completing 
the prescribed course at the Officers School at Hampton Roads, Norfolk, 
Virginia. He served on the U. S. S. Virginia, and the U. S. S. Nebraska, and on 
sub-chaser No. 186, and also at the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, Virginia.
	September 30, 1919, Mr. Moylan became physical director of the Miami Y.
M. C. A. He has done a great deal to raise the standard of physical training
and recreation in this institution. Through the program of activities laid out
by him and the classes he conducts, he has made the Y. M. C. A. a very popular
place both with business men and the youth of the city.
	Mr. Moylan is a member of the American Red Cross, and under Red Cross 
auspices he organized and is chairman of the Biscayne Volunteer Life Savings 
Corps of Miami. He is also a member of the Kiwanis Club, and the Ad Club, is a 
Blue Lodge Mason, a communicant of the Trinity Episcopal Church and is a member 
of the National Physical Directors’ Society and the Southern Physical 
Directors’ Society.
	Mr. Moylan regards Miami as his permanent home, and has interested 
himself in a business way in the city. During the summer of 1922, in 
partnership with CLYDE B. WOODWARD, he platted and placed on the market a new 
residential subdivision known as Moywood.
	Mr. Moylan married Miss ELEANOR HIMES FLACK of Troy, New York. They
have one son, JOHN DUDLEY MOYLAN.
