SECRETARY'S LETTER
To the Class of ipii:
YOUR Secretary takes great pleasure in submitting herewith
the Decennial, or Fourth, Report. He was told by many
when he started work on it last December that it would be im-
possible to get it out in less than a year. Owing to the loyal
response of the class to the various notices and blanks, the work
has been completed in about half that time and the Secretary
takes this opportunity to thank you all for your co-operation.
The work has been thoroughly enjoyable and has not lacked
the lighter side, particularly when two hitherto apparently
veracious classmates stated that they were born in 1920! Other
obvious inconsistencies were corrected but undoubtedly some still
exist, and the Secretary does not by any means believe that his
own work has been free from error. Please be charitable and let
him know of any mistakes.
The pocket inside the back cover is to contain a supplemental
report which will be published in the autumn covering the
Decennial reunion.
Thanks are due to George Harding, to F. S. Mead, '87, of the
War Records Office, and to Miss Barnes, without whose very able
assistance the report would not have been completed.

HARVARD ENDOWMENT FUND DRIVE
THE most recent activity of the Class as a whole has been
the campaign started last November in which the per-
centage of subscribers from 191 1 to the Harvard Endowment
Fund has risen from 56.5 to 92.7 which puts the Class second in
percentage of subscriptions obtained from the classes of the past
ten years.
This excellent showing of which we may all feel proud is
due in the main to the loyal support given to the drive by the
Class as a whole ; but the means by which it has been achieved
has been the untiring eflfort of the Endowment Fund Committee.
The Committee consisted of over sixty men and was organized
in November by Ralph Hornblower who deserves the greatest
credit for keeping the wheels turning. A central group was
formed in Boston to which committees in all the large cities
where non-subscribing classmates lived reported the results of
personal solicitation. Wherever possible personal interviews
were held ; this included in some cases towns in which there were
only two members of the Class, and in others trips by automobile
from nearby towns. In addition to this a series of letters were
sent by the central committee including in some cases five different
appeals which were followed by telegrams and letters from indi-
vidual members of the Committee.
All of which goes to show that all of the members of the Com-
mittee had a lot of work laid for them to accomplish, and the
resulting 92.7 per cent shows that they performed their jobs with
unabating persistency — as some Classmates can testify from per-
sonal experience — and are entitled to the sincere thanks of the
whole Class for the results obtained.

2 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
AFTER leaving the college, I entered the Harvard Law
School, in the fall of 1911, but had to leave it in February
191 2, for family reasons. I spent the spring travelling abroad,
and entered the Law School of Havana University in the fall
of 1912. When the War broke out I was spending the summer
in France. I immediately tried to enlist in the French Army,
but found its doors barred to me by my Cuban citizenship. I
did not want to join the Foreign Legion. I then offered my
services to the French Red Cross (Societe de Secours aux
Blesses Militaires) and drove a motor for them until the spring
of 191 5. This service took me often to the Front. But about
that time very strict instructions were given against allowing
foreigners within the lines, so that my work narrowed down to
taxi-service in Paris. I thereupon resigned and prepared to re-
turn to Havana, in order to resume my studies in the Law School.
I received my degree of Doctor in Laws in the fall of 1916.
In 1 91 7, Cuba having joined forces with the United States and
the Allies, I was allowed to enlist in the French Air Service.
I received my preliminary training as Pilot in Tours, and was
brevetted on December 12th 191 7. I was then sent to Avord
and Pau for training on Chasse Planes. From Pau, I was sent
to the G. D. E. whence I was shortly to have gone to the Front
on Spad monoplane. I unfortunately fell very seriously ill in
March 1918, and had to go to a military hospital, where I was
operated on twice, and kept until June 1918. From then on,
however, until the Armistice, I flew at the Front.
Since the Armistice, or rather after my demobilisation in
January 19 19, I have gone into business in Paris, and am actually
one of the Directors of the "Societe Commerciale & Financiere
Franco Anglaise," and of the "Societe des Automobiles Soriano-
Pedroso." Besides this, I attend to the entire administration of
the various estates of my family throughout the world.

ERNEST M. ACH
Born at Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 6, 1889.
Parents: Samuel Ach, Esther Kahn.
School: Franklin School, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Degrees: A. B. 1911 (1910).
Married: Pauline Workum, Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 29, 1913.
Children: S. Lawrence, Aug. 17, 1914; David Lee, Aug. 14, 1917 (Died

FINISHED college in June 1910 and went to work July 1910
as stockkeeper. Sold goods "on the road" from October
1910 to January i, 1913. A better job in 1913 enabled me to
get married in October 191 3 and helped support the babies, — all
boys, — 1914, 1917, 1918. My second child died of pneumonia
in October 1918. My entire business experience has been in the
wholesale millinery business, as stockkeeper, buyer of domestic
materials, foreign buyer, and manager of trimmed hat factories.
I have no war record except the regrettable one of the "stay-at-
home". Hope that "H. C. L." will be sufficiently routed by next
June to enable me to be in Cambridge for the Decennial.

Occupation: Author.
Address: South Yarmouth, Mass.
IMMEDIATELY after my marriage in 191 2 my wife and I
went abroad, and spent the winter in England and Italy,
where I spent a good deal of time struggling with octosyllabic
couplets and blankety blank verse : result, my first book, which I
am told, and believe, should never have been published. The
disease had by this time become incurable, however, and on my
return to Cambridge in 191 3, where I settled, I did it again, and
have been doing it monotonously ever since. If anyone in the
Class has written and published more bad verse than I have, and
can prove it, I will set him up to a dinner at the Harvard Club,
Boston, April ist, 1922. In 191 4 I spent two months in London,
in 191 5 I moved to Boston and bought a Ford, in 1916 I sold
the Ford to pay for the publication of another book, in 1918 I
moved back to Cambridge, and in 1919 the high cost of living
drove me into the country, where I still am. The war left me
untouched. The draft put me in Class Four, then promoted me
to Class Two. The Work or Fight Act tried to make me stop
waiting poetry, but without success : its failure was by many
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 5
considered an occasion for regret. In 19 17 I became a Con-
tributing Editor of the Dial, which job I retained till the Dial
changed hands, 1918. In 1918 I became the American corre-
spondent of the Athenaeum, London, resigning the job in the
summer of 1920, when I was in London for three months, vainly
endeavoring to find a publisher. At present I am a reviewer
for the Freeman (New York) and a contributor to various other
papers here and abroad. The life is pleasant but not conducive
to wealth.

Occupation: Rancher.
Address: Bonita, San Diego Co., Calif.
1WENT Straight "back to the soil" after leaving college and
with the exception of a year and a half in the army, there
I have been ever since. Until the spring of 1916 I was ranching
for myself on my birthplace in Dehesa, olives, peaches and hogs
being my main interests in life although my domestic concerns,
consisting of a nice new wife and (presently) a bouncing son and
heir, occupied no small portion of my horizon. In 1916, how-
ever, there were floods in this district which eliminated the olives,
peaches and hogs. I then, with my family, moved to Bonita (a
stronghold of Aliens and agriculture) and undertook the manage-
ment of the Winsor Ranch. Until September, 191 7 I was busy
reclaiming flood-washed riverbottom lands for alfalfa and barns
and other equipment in preparation for a dairy and pure-bred
hogs.
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 7
The first draft contingent included yours truly, however, bound
for Camp Lewis. The ranch was turned over "for duration"
to my father and brother. I was assigned to the Supply Co.
of the 364th Infantry and shortly, my aptitudes being very
obvious (viz: life on the farm), I was distinguished by an ap-
pointment to the Stable Sergeancy of said Company. At Camp
Lewis I went through the 3rd O. T. C, transferring in the
process from the Infantry to the Artillery. In April I was sent
to Camp Jackson for a brief stay and from there to Saumur
where I went through the artillery school. My commission as a
shave-tail finally reached me in the summer. After finishing
Saumur I was assigned to A Battery, 349th F. A. then in Brigade
School at La Courtine. The regiment left me there in October,
down with the influenza, on its way to the front. I was soon
out of the hospital though, and after considerable jogging about
until November 4th, rejoined it again and at last found myself
"under fire". A little mental arithmetic will determine hov/ long
I was there. After interminable waiting around, practice
marching and delousing at Pont-a-Mousson, Dieulouard, Dom-
front, Le Mans, and Brest we finally sailed for home and I was
soon transferred to San Francisco, wife and family and out of
the army on March 22, 1919.
Since getting out of the army I have been busy with the hogs
and cattle and in keeping my two husky sons in shoes.

AFTER graduation in 191 1, I went to work for the General Elec-
tric Company at Lynn, Massachusetts, on the student engi-
neering course which they were running at that time. After
serving my two years on this course, I spent one more year with
this company as draftsman in the turbine department.
In June of 1914 I left the General Electric Company to go
aboard. I had a fairly elaborate trip laid out, but was caught in
the war and had to get back to the United States, which I did after
considerable trouble by travelling up through Denmark, Sweden
and Norway and then across to England.
On my return to America I took a position with the Submarine
Signal Company in the experimental department.
I stayed in this position a little over a year, and then took a
position with the Spicer Manufacturing Company of South Plain-
field, New Jersey, as assistant to the president.
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 9
In November of 1917 after two years in this position, I ac-
cepted an offer from the Henrici Laundry Machinery Company,
my present employer, to take charge of all engineering work, to-
gether with the duties of factory manager. This position after
three and one quarter years I am still holding.
I was with the Henrici Company during most of the time that
America was at war. During this period we did a great deal
of war work in our shop. We built telescopic masts for twenty
submarines, as well as a great many other submarine parts. We
made thousands of gun carriage wrenches for the army as well as
doing considerable heavy machine work for the army which they
could not get done anywhere else near Boston as we owned the
only machine capable of doing same.
We also built four hundred pelorouses for the Navy, besides
our regular out-put of washing machines of which we supplied a
large number both to the Navy and the Army. We also rendered
service to the Department of Aeronautics by supplying them
with eight anemomters of a higher quality than they had ever
been able to procure before.
I am an associate member of the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers.

PROBABLY the best recommendation I shall ever receive was
one in which the Dean said to me in March 1909, "I am
sure your talents must be peculiarly fitted to the business world
since they are not fitted for Harvard University." So with this
high reference I went to work. Spent two years in the cotton
mills of Lowell; then in 191 1 went to work with Wellington,
Sears & Company of Boston. After three months there the boss
said, one Friday, "How would you like to go to our New York of-
fice?" I said, "I wouldn't." So I started in there the next Mon-
day morning. After peddling cotton goods for that concern for
eight years I went into a cotton goods brokerage concern in June
1919. June 1920 saw me in another brokerage house and October
15, 1920 finds me one of the firm of Tracy, Lyons & Company.
It's great being your own boss ! My war record consists of being
turned down by everything from swivel chair to British O. T. C.
It was altogether too private a war for me to attend.

THE space allotted on your form for the story of my life is
unflatteringly short. How compress even the salient fea-
tures of my existence in the past decade into a page and a half !
The letters "LL. B." speak volumes — of cases read and half
digested. This is not the place for the "confidential information"
requested by secretaries of law classes regarding one's income
derived by the application of these volumes to the facts of ever>'-
day life, — and fortunately, for the comparison of the "learned
professions" with the less genteel (?) occupations.
The middle West was a pleasant place to practice law, but a
terrible place for the young man with a "civic conscience" such
as blessed or afflicted me in those mediaeval days before the war.
My most vivid recollection from those four years is of an unend-
ing and overlapping series of committee meetings and committee
reports. Everything was in process of being administered; one
never stopped to ask why.
The war, the army and twenty months in France set all of
one's previous life against the background of questioning. After
that the middle West was unthinkable, hence New York, which at
least has the merit of affording a wider field of choice for the
exercise of those war-questionings.
I wonder how this war business will at Decennial next June
seem to have affected others ? Did they get over the restlessness
of that experience?
No, I hold and have held no offices in civil life, except that of
paterfamilias and "member of the bar of" — . Ten years hence
the outer record will be much the same, and no one will be more
interested in it then than they can be in this. The significant
things are the ones you don't place on such records.
"For a man the authorship of a book is, like the bearing of
children by a (married) woman, the mark of respectability." By
this standard my respectability is of a low degree, based only

SINCE leaving college, my life has been devoted to Medicine.
I graduated from the Medical School and then became an
interne at the Massachusetts General Hospital. For a year after
this, I was Assistant Physician at the Russell Sage Institute of
Pathology at Bellevue Hospital, New York, and then returned to
the Massachusetts General Hospital as Medical Resident. Dur-

ficer. On my return, I went back to the Medical School to do
research work and to teach, and am still there as Assistant
Professor of Physiology.

16 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
culture is of necessity very slow and gradual. I can hardly say
that fortune has smiled on me yet, still I believe I have "made the
grade" and have established an orchard that, barring accident,
will support one family for fifty years.
To farm successfully one needs four things — capital, a farm
temperament, good luck, and the right sort of wife. I have had
all of these with the lightest emphasis on the capital. Were I
to have the years over again I would choose the same occupation.
I have no war record. I was called to early draft and rejected
for poor eyesight. From then on I helped organize and serve
the various organizations in my town that were to be found
everywhere during the conflict.

AFTKR graduation from college I attended Harvard Law

1916 I joined the American Ambulance and in August 1916
was sent out to S. S. U. 2 which was working in the Verdun

Hill 304 and Mort Homme. In October I was transferred to
S. S. U. 3 of the American Ambulance and sailed from Mar-
seilles for Salonika October 21, 19 16. In November we worked

IN 191 1, after Class Day I took my vacation and in the fall
of that year had the farming bug. With Paul Dennett, '13, I
spent that fall on a cranberry bog. We had a good time, but
after three months we were ready enough to come back to Boston
and get other jobs. I secured a clerking job with the American
Felt Company. I stayed there until May 1912, when I started
in with the Walpole Rubber Company. This concern was just
beginning the manufacture of automobile tires. I was there until
November 191 3, when, not because of me, but in spite of my
efforts, the company went into the hands of a receiver and I was
thrown on the cruel world. I then went with the Library Bureau.
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 19
Finally in May 191 4 I was sent to Cleveland. I had been married
in Januar}- of that year. We started in housekeeping in Cleveland
as soon as we could. Had not been in Cleveland two weeks be-
fore I met Harry Spofford, '11, on the street. Neither of us had
a friend in the city so Harry accepted my invitation to live with
us. I left Cleveland for New York in September 1914 as the
climate of the middle West did not agree with either me or my
better seven-eighths. I was in New York until January 1916.
My oldest boy was born there in July 191 5. The craving for
old associations w^as strong enough to bring me back to Boston
in 1916. I tackled life insurance and probably pestered almost
all of you w^ho read this. I got a regular job in September 1917
with Firestone Tire & Rubber Company and have stuck to it
ever since.
The last ten years have gone by very rapidly for me, but I
have succeeded in establishing a home, presided over by the best
of companions and two great boys who I hope will be Harvard
1936 and 1938 respectively.

UPON graduation from college in June, 191 1, I was offered
the opportunity of making a tour throughout the United
States with my aunt, Mme Lillian Nordica, which I accepted
with alacrity, visiting the principal cities of this country. Upon
reaching Indianapolis in the Fall of 191 1, I spent several weeks
there as the guest of my room-mate, Fred C. Wellman, of that
city, who entertained me royally, it being possible to do so at
that time without running the risk of a term at the Federal
Penitentiary, or the slow agony of a death from wood alcohol.
I returned to New York in December, 191 1, and added con-
siderable prestige to the banking house of William Salomon &
Company by affording them the luxury of my services at, I might
say, an extremely nominal cost to them. The aforesaid cost, at
the end of a year or so, gave no visible evidence of endangering
the financial standing of the firm, so I resigned peremptorily, and
needless to say left the firm's affairs in no end of confusion. (?)
In the early part of 1913, I became connected with my present
firm, J. K. Stiefel & Company, 126 Fifth Avenue, New York, lace
importers. I was put in charge of their Boston office in October
1914. This move on their part cost me considerable in railroad
fares, as I had certain "interests" in White Plains, New York,
which necessitated my presence there every Saturday night. So
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 21
I figured it cheaper to get married, which I did, having since,
however, revised my opinion as to the excessiveness of railroad
fares. In April, 1917, I was put in charge of New England for
my firm, and have since served in that capacity.

the movies, and considerable work along sales engineering lines.
As to the Service, my experience was a most unsatisfactory one,
as I was unable in spite of several enlistments to get overseas.
That was my greatest disappointment during the period 191 7 to
1919. The men I associated with I got along with wonderfully
and made some excellent friends, but I do not feel as if I had
accomplished as much as I could have had I been fortunate
enough to get to France and Belgium.

ONE fault of our educational system, which has been only
recently recognized, is its failure to help the boy make an
intelligent selection of his vocation. Even among professional
men, the proportion who pursue the line of work for which they
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 23
originally prepared is surprisingly small. The advantage of a
liberal education lies in the ability of its possessor to turn his
interest successfully to a number of subjects and to adapt him-
self readily to changing circumstances.
For the first seven years following Commencement, I counted
myself among the minority who follow the profession they origi-
nally choose. In September 191 1 my ambition to become a
teacher was fulfilled by my appointment to the faculty of the
Pennsylvania State College as instructor in mathematics. Two
years later I was relieved of part of my duties as a teacher in
order that I might, as Assistant Registrar, wrestle with the prob-
lem of schedule building. It was no easy job, for teachers and
students had to be assigned to each other, and to class rooms,
with due regard for the fundamental law of nature, that two
bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
During 1913 and 1914 I spent six weeks each summer on the
Faculty of the Summer Session for Teachers. At the Summer
Session the women outnumbered the men about ten to one, — just
the reverse of the conditions prevailing during the academic
years. It was a novel sensation, for I had not previously been in
a co-educational school- since I was six years old. Nevertheless
I came safely through the first summer without forming any
entangling alliances. Before the second summer, however, the
young lady with whom I had "fussed" most of the football games
during my sophomore year adopted my suggestion and saved me
from further uncertainty by marrying me herself.
We had been living happily together for several years, with the
companionship of Walter Emerson after 1916, when the entry
of our country into the Great War shook me from my chosen
profession. Recalling a bit of research I had done for him in the
summer of 191 1, Dr. Hammond V. Hayes, '83, consulting engi-
neer of the Submarine Signal Company, of Boston, summoned
me from Pennsylvania to assist him in solving the problem of
submarine detection. I joined him in July 1918, and although
the war problem was soon removed by the armistice, I am still
at work with him in a study of the peace-time problems of sub-
marine signalling. Associated with us in this work are R. D.
Fay, '13, and T. C. Browne, '15.
During the past year my wife and I were further blest by the
24 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
birth of a second boy, Eliot Ralph, but only a few months later
we suffered the sudden loss of our older child in an epidemic of
infantile paralysis.
Ten years from Commencement finds me neither rich nor poor,
neither great nor small, neither famous nor forgotten. I am just
a plain, average citizen, an "independent voter" who is trying to
make this world a better and pleasanter place in which to live,
both for himself and for others.

MOST of my working time has been spent in the collection
and "handling" of news, as reporter, special correspondent,
copy reader or editor in varying grades of responsibility. I have
been with the following newspapers, in chronological order:
Brockton (Massachusetts) Times, Brockton (Massachusetts).
Enterprise, Springfield (Massachusetts) Morning Union, Fitch-
burg (Massachusetts) News, Newark (New Jersey) Evening
News, Brockton Enterprise a second time, Boston Traveler.
When Germany stupidly set out for Paris I was editor of Refrig-
erating World, a trade monthly, in New York; a year there.
Soon after Germany decided that, though "unbeaten," she'd better
quit, I went with the Churchill & Alden Company, Brockton, in the
advertising department, and for a year extolled the virtues of
Ralston shoes. Thence back to the first love, this time with
"Horty" Edmands a fellow actor on the office stage.
Sent as correspondent by the Newark News to Camp Dix,
Wrightstown, New Jersey, — my nearest approach to war service
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 25
— I saw much of the famed "cost plus" (mainly plus) scheme of
the early operation of the selective service system, and of the
machinery which despite apparent confusion in a surprisingly
short time turned undisciplined young fellows into tip-top fighting
men. Of the first I wrote little, though military censors could
have hanged me for what I thought ; of the last I wrote a great
deal, and I believe in its small way it helped, especially those who
could only sit at home and wait.
Spare time these days I help Mrs. Barker run a boarding house
for three kids and study agriculture at first hand in homeopathic
doses. Let the latter pass for a hobby; at least it's good for
keeping the girth within reason. No, nothing doing; I couldn't
jump 5 ft. 10 again on a million-dollar bet. I'm getting heavy,
and a trifle bald.

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 29
the academic year to the end of October of the following year,
chased oil for the Empire Gas and Fuel Company from Kansas to
the mesquite wilderness of the southern Rio Grande and the moon-
shine country of Tennessee and Kentucky. In October 1918 I
entered the army and after two months at Camp Devens and one
month at the Burlington Weather Bureau was sent overseas.
There I served as K. P., assistant in the army meteorological
school, and then assistant weatherforecaster, forecasting the
weather for the A. E. F. areas in France and later for the Army
of Occupation in Germany. Coming back in the early summer
of 1919, I found that jobs had not been kept for men who had
been held so long in the army but was lucky enough to find that
geologists were still in demand and obtained the position of divi-
sion geologist with Amerada Petroleum Corporation for the Gulf
Coast of Louisiana and Texas, and so for the last year and a half
I have been chasing oil in the salt dome oil region of southern
Louisiana and Texas.

AFTER receiving my Master's degree in Architecture in June
191 5 I entered my father's office to learn some "real" archi-
tecture. In June 1917 I enlisted as Chief Yeoman in the U. S.
Naval Reserve, serving first in the Government Cost Inspection
Department at Fore River and then in December, when com-
missioned Ensign, at the new Squantum plant. I don't yet know
what I was supposed to do at Fore River but my five years of
architectural training served me in good stead at Squantum where
I made some beautiful "Progress Diagrams". In February 1919
I applied for sea service; was sent to the Naval Pay School at
Washington for five weeks ; transferred to New York and ap-
pointed Supply Officer of the U. S. S. Bali. We carried sup-
plies to France until December 1919 at which time I was ordered
to Pensacola, Florida to act as Disbursing Officer at the Naval
Air Station. I was, however, given my return to inactive duty
before leaving for Pensacola.
After leaving the service I again returned to my father's office
and since his death in July 1920 my brother and I have carried
on the office under the name of J. William Beal, Sons, Architects.
On July 10, 1919 I was given forty-eight hours leave in which
to go home and during this leave I was married to Miss Amelia
Torres of Rio de Janeiro. And the last memorable event was
the arrival of young "Billy" at the very height of the big storm
of February 7, 1920 while I was helplessly marooned in Boston.

IMMEDIATELY after graduation we went bag and baggage
to Cornish where we tutored during the summer and fall of
191 1. During the winter we continued our work among the
snow-covered hills of New Hampshire with the thermometer low-
ering his dignity to 33 below. A delightful experience it was,
for he who knows New Hampshire dressed only in summer
clothes knows her but half, as she is much more snappy in the
winter, nor does she allow among her lovers those that are neither
dead nor alive.
The next fall found us at dear old Groton, quite as much
under the guidance of dear Mr. Peabody as any of the boys.
Who could possibly have been more fortunate than we, to start
our teaching in the school which, above all others, we had chosen ?
The fact that much that we owned was burned just before it
reached Groton served only to bind us more closely to the school,
for we soon found among what real friends we were.
The fall of 191 3 found me at our delightful and successful
day school in Long\vood, called as one might guess, the Longwood
Day School. We prepare young boys for the higher preparatory
schools. Some of this year's Harvard freshmen were with us
a few years ago. Here I have been ever since as a master; and,
if one would keep his heart young, — although his purse may be
slim, — let him be one of us.

40 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
I PRACTISED law in Boston, until I entered the Navy. Not
being suited for combatant service (I was rejected both as
volunteer and as draftee, because of defective hearing), I finally
got a special shore duty assignment to do law work for the gov-
ernment, in the uniform of a "gob". The work was instructive
and essential, yet I am sure most of my brother-lawyers in
"civies" gratuitously did as much for the Cause as I did. It was
my privilege, while in service, to come in touch with lawyers,
doctors and other civilians who unstintedly sacrificed their health,
time, vocation and even family companionships, out of the finest
kind of patriotism. I liked the spirit of the real Navy, while the
amateur upstarts supplied the comedy. After fighting my way
out of the service, I found my law practice scattered, so I decided
to try the field of commerce. I bought an interest in the Standard
Finding Company, Inc. of 41 Union Square, New York City, and
have been with this concern ever since March i, 1919.
As I write these lines, I see the faces of many good classmates
before me and my heart w^arms with pleasant memories. May I
extend to them all my friendliest greetings and sincere prayers for
their happiness and success.

visor of schools in Connecticut. The war intervened. After my
discharge from the Army I engaged in the school superintendency
of Hadley and Hatfield, Massachusetts. I am now, January i,
1921, serving as Superintendent of Schools in West Springfield,
Massachusetts. During these ten years I have made three
European trips including the one which was part of my military
experience.
My experience in the Army Air Service was that of many
other men from civil life. It convinced me of the extravagance
and inefficiency of the present administration. This is now a
well-established opinion but it took the boys who had been "over
there" to show the people, who registered their opinion at the
last election.
But this same experience which disgusted me with Army life
convinced me of the desirability of Universal Compulsory Mili-
tary Service for boys eighteen to twenty years of age, for the
physical benefits of a certain type of military training cannot be
denied.

ON leaving college in 191 1, became clerk in Statistical Depart-
ment of the Commonwealth Edison Company. After one
year, in 191 2, was sent by same interests to become Statistician
for the Central Illinois Public Service Company, at Mattoon,
Illinois. This Company serving over 150 towns throughout
central and southern Illinois was continually expanding, in con-
nection with which I was changed from time to time, filling the
positions of Statistician, Assistant Auditor and finally Treasurer.
In 1917 I was transferred by the same interests to take charge
of properties being developed in southern Wisconsin, including
large water powers, where I was for almost two years. During
this time the Northwest Utilities Company was formed and taken
into the Middlewest Utilities Company, operations being well
standardized. I was then transferred to Chicago to start the
work of sale of the utility securities direct to the company's
customers, where after a year of very satisfactory work I left the
Utility line to join the Investment Bond firm of W. G. Souders
& Company, a Chicago firm who were just opening up a New
York office. I came to New York the first part of 1920 and am at
present engaged in that business.
Have held no public offices, the only semi-public ones being
in connection with local Building and Loan Association. On ac-
count of business connection was and still am director and officer
of numerous corporations.

work in the apple orchards and ranches of Spokane and Wen-
atchee, State of Washington. We worked in the fruit country
picking and packing apples and at odd jobs until January 1912,
50- CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
when "Webb" and I came back and took the short course at the
Agricultural College at Amherst, Massachusetts.
From May 1912 to August 1913, I put my time in on my
father's newly accjuired farm at New Canaan, Connecticut, ap-
plying experience and theory gained the previous year. The farm
life was brought to an end by a chance to go with the Stone and
Webster Management Association. Starting in Boston on Sep-
tember ist, 1913, I was shipped to Ponce, Porto Rico, as Cashier
and Paymaster of the Ponce Railway and Light Company. Here
I remained, advancing to Chief Clerk and Assistant Treasurer,
until recalled to Boston in April, 191 7. The war fever, better
known as fear of the draft, caught me and I enlisted in the Naval
Reserve Force, remaining with Stone and Webster as chief clerk
to Cashier in Boston until called to active duty in August 1917.
The first two months of my service were spent in training
camps at the Yale Boat House, New Haven, and at Port Jeffer-
son, Long Island, as a seaman ic. In October 1917 I received
a temporary commission as Ensign in the Pay Corps and was
assigned to Cost Inspection Duty at New York. I was detached,
however, the following spring and, after a flying visit to the Pay
School in Washington, was made Supply Officer of the U. S. S.
Tivives, a United Fruit Company ship taken over by the Navy
for transporting beef and provisions to the Army. We made
five round trips and after the Armistice, carried about one hun-
dred Army officers and men on the homeward voyage.
After the good old "Tivives" had been placed out of commis-
sion and my accounts settled I was relieved from active duty
just in time to attend the class reunion at Gloucester. Then I
went to work for the National Farming Corporation in New
York, remaining w^ith them until a reorganization which forced
me to sever connections in October 1920. Since then my work
has been with public accountants.

ALTHOUGH bom and bred (to a slight extent) in Greater
Gotham, (must I admit that the exact location was Brook-
lyn?), I continued after being cloistered in the Law School for
the three years following graduation from College, to reside in
the environs of Boston. This was my wife's fault. I was very
much engaged in those days. Incidentally I derived my susten-
ance during the period September, 1914, to September, 1916,
from employment in the law offices of Brandeis, Dunbar and
Nutter, where I learned where the Court House was and one or
two other useful things.
With the assistance of a job in the Law Department of the
United Shoe Machiner}^ Corporation and considerable ignorance
of the ways of this planet and in particular of the H'ness of
H. C. L. and how H. it was going to be, I induced my lady to
bring our engagement to an end upon her graduation from Rad-
cliffe in June, 1917, by becoming Mrs. me. My job with the
USMC continued to sustain us until December 31, 1920. There-

upon (or slightly prior to that date) I perceived an opportunity
to specialize in my hobbies of probate law and taxation, in a posi-

Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Wherefore with a whoop I
entered that organization at the beginning of the current year,

army got us all in France and made us enlist. I had my fair

share of war experiences including the battles of all the large
cities, including Paris. Services on the other side may have
differed but as far as I can see w^e all have the same opinions,
so why repeat them. Undoubtedly, each one of us could have
won the war in half the time if we had only had the chance to
run it. Personally, I would far rather chase a pack mule across
the Painted Desert, as I do each summer, than mix in another

FOLLOWING graduation from the Law School in 1914, I
went into the office of Swift, Friedman & Atherton, lawyers,
in Boston, and there practiced law until August, 191 7. I then
went to Washington and managed the Washington offiice of Dr.
Hollis Godfrey, a member of the Advisory Commission of the
Council of National Defence. I had no spurs on my heels to
keep my feet from sliding off my desk, and in December, the
weather became unpleasantly cold for golf, so I enlisted to see if
I could get some of those spurs. I went through the Ground
School in the Air Service at Ohio State University; was then
sent to Langley Field, Virginia, at which place I was transferred
to the Flying Branch of the Air Service. After six months' train-
ing there, and at Selfridge Field, Mt. Clemens, Michigan, I was
rated as an aerial observer. I had been commissioned second
lieutenant on my graduation from the Ground School, but there
was so much mud at Langley Field, that instead of wearing the
boots and spurs, I wore rubber boots. There was plenty of oc-
casion to put my feet on the desk, but I never did get any spurs
to hold them there. On my "return from the service" I again
took up the practice of law in Boston, this time going into busi-
ness for myself, at 53 State Street. I have held the following of-
fices since November 2, 1914: — (i) Justice of the Peace. (2)
Notary Public, (a) I had to buy my election to these offices, —
campaign expenses, $7.00 for each, (b) No impeachment or

WHILE taking my last half course for a degree in the fall
of 191 1, I became a reporter for the "Boston Journal".
During my brief employment by this paper, I met Horton Ed-
mands at the Charles Street Jail. He was there on business, per-
fectly legitimate business, for he and I had been detailed by our
respective papers, "Horty" being on the "Herald", to report the
Richeson murder case.
In November, I began publicity work for C. D. Parker & Com-
pany of Boston, which I continued till June, 19 13, when I went
to New York, intending to enter the publicity field in the interests
of social welfare work. But my vision never became reality, be-
cause illness made me a burden to myself and my family at our
home in Hartford for nearly six months.
To make certain of a complete recovery, I went to Arizona in
January, 1914, where I found employment, through the influence
of a good Harvard friend, as bookkeeper on the Warren Ranch,
eight miles from Bisbee and within three miles of the Mexican
line. Life here was an interesting contrast to anything I had ever
known, and it put me into splendid physical condition ; but the
novel experience was terminated in May, when I went to Califor-
nia to confer with Mr. Sherman D. Thacher, Yale '83, about a
position as teacher in his school at Nordhoff — an opportunity
which came to me through the Harvard Appointment Office. The
result of this visit was my appointment as teacher of English at
the Thacher School, where I went in September after a summer
back home.
In the course of these experiences, I had become engaged to
marry. This resulted in my staying at Thacher no later than
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 67
June, 191 5, for I had planned to marry that summer, and an ad-
ditional married man could not be accommodated there. Thus,
with the help of "Bert" Voshell, who was then in charge of a
teachers' agency, I secured a position in the Louisville Country
Day School, and went there in September, a few days after being
married.
In the following September, Mrs. Cawley and I lost our first
baby, a girl; and, in May of 1917, I was called east by the sudden
death of my mother. In the fall of the latter year, on account
of the discontinuance of the Louisville school, we moved to Saint
Paul, where I had been appointed, once more through the assist-
ance of the Harvard Appointment Office, to the position I still
hold as teacher in the Saint Paul Academy. Our three years and
a half here have been pleasant, with 1920 as the best, for last
April we were fortunate in the safe arrival of Sherman Billings
Cawley, who expects to be a Harvard 1942 man.
During these ten years since our memorable departure from
Cambridge, I have met classmates in various parts of the country:
Tracy Vought in New York, in 191 3, where he was making a
name for himself in the legal profession; "Tip" Bliss in Spring-
field and Hartford, in 1913, 1914, and 1915, who was then acquir-
ing the newspaper reputation which later sent him to France
with the "Stars and Stripes"; Seward Simons and "Sam" Rindge
in California, in 1914, where each was becoming prominent in
the afifairs of that state ; Charles Park, Arthur P. Smith, Emerson
G. Sutclifife, Welles Eastman, and M. M. Ballou during the past
three years in Minneapolis, where each has appeared successful
in his respective vocation ; and, lastly, Fred Eliot, now minister
of the Unitarian Church in Saint Paul, where he is establishing
himself as one of the most able men in this city.
Perhaps my keenest regret in these ten years, aside from that
caused by deaths, has been and still is the fact that I did not
serve during the war; but the continued necessity of earning for
my family and the pressure put upon teachers in the fourth draft
class, to stay at their work when the single men were leaving the
schools, combined to keep me at home, where I could contribute
only those "behind-the-line" services which seemed so insigni-
ficant when others gave their lives.

►J- OLIVER MOULTON CHADWICK
OLIVER MouLTON Chadwick was born at Lov^ell, Massachu-
setts, September 23, 1888, the son of Austin Kilham and
Julia M. (Moulton) Chadwick. He prepared for college at
Phillips Exeter Academy. In college he devoted much time to
track athletics, excelling in the hurdles and field events ; and he
also played for two years on the Varsity Hockey team. In 1914
he graduated from the Harvard Law School and entered the law
department of Stone & Webster. In the summer of 1916 he
served on the Mexican border in Battery A of the Massachusetts
National Guard. He had also had six weeks training at one of
the Plattsburgh camps.
As the United States did not enter the war Chadwick decided
to enlist in the Lafayette Corps of the French Aviation. He
sailed for France after some preliminary training under Curtis at
Fortress Monroe, and completed his course in the summer of
191 7 at various French aviation schools. He went at once to the
front and was placed in Captain Guynemer's squadron. Two
weeks later, on August 14, while flying alone he encountered a
British Sopwith which was being badly pressed by a German
plane. Although there were two other Germans hovering high
above the scene of combat Chadwick attacked at once, saved the
British plane, but was in turn attacked by the higher machines,
as he must have foreseen that he would be. In the unequal battle
which followed he was shot down and fell just in front of the
German trenches near Bixschoote, Belgium. His grave was later
found.
He was regarded as a very gallant pilot by his comrades.

AS I look back upon my "ten most interesting years since
graduation" they seem to have been occupied largely in an
attempt to acquire a vocabulary of little used w^ords sufficient to
embellish my masterly lecture dissertations with that foglike aura
so necessary to impress the undergraduate mind. During the
years in which my graduate studies were pursued, — but not
caught, — in Cambridge, and in intervening years I obtained the
necessary relaxation in the secondary school class room. This
program was slightly varied in my last year of graduate work by
my duties as Austin Teaching Fellow in Education. I trace my
habit of reading the daily paper to this experience. The school
board in a suburb of Pittsburgh, doubtless laboring under the mis-
apprehension that my doctorate thesis on "formal discipline" dealt
with the sanitary spanking of disobedient little boys and girls,
(if they had had an opportunity to observe my young daughter at
about this time their minds would have been quickly disabused)
elected me superintendent of schools. This position I resigned
to enter the psychological service of the army, and after a com-
plete course at the Medical Officers' Training Camp at Fort
Oglethorpe, in shining shoes and saluting, I was assigned by
General March to Camp Greene. He felt that my expertness
in the care of shoe leather would be most efficiently utilized on
the beautiful plastic soil of North Carolina. He was right !
Through one of those errors so rare in the military, however,
my last orders assigned me to U. S. General Hospital No. lo in
Boston, an assignment which had its advantages. By and large.

however, I am convinced that universal disarmament would bring

National Guard, under the militia mobilization orders at that
time.
In April 1917 I was examined for the Officers Reserve Corps
and detailed to attend the First Training Camp at Plattsburgh in
May of that year. On May 10 I was commissioned Second Lieu-
tenant, Cavalry, and on August 15, following the training period,
was promoted to First Lieutenant and ordered to overseas duty.
Arriving in France in September 1917 I was, after four weeks
spent in an Infantry Training School, assigned to General Head-
quarters, attached to which organization I remained for all my
overseas duty.
After successfully weathering a siege of illness, culminating in
an abdominal operation, I was assigned in July 191 8 as a represen-
tative of the Fourth, or Coordination, Section of the American
General Staff at French General Headquarters.
In October I was transferred in the same capacity to Marshal
Foch's staff, where I remained until June 1919. In July I be-
came one of the American representatives on the Inter-Allied
Joint Secretariat at the Council of the five principal Allied Powers,
and was attached to the American Peace Commission until Octo-
ber, when I was discharged from the Army in Paris.
Upon my return to the United States in the beginning of 1920
I believed that a field of activity wider than the law could be
found, and one in which an opportunity existed to put into effect
some of the benefits of my experience during the war. Accord-
ingly, in March 1920, I entered the offices of the Foreign Com-
merce Corporation of America, a new International trade entity
created by J. P. Morgan & Company, and have had an extremely
interesting and worthwhile year with this organization.
I am engaged to be married to Leila Howard Burden of New

AFTER completing my undergraduate work in 1910, I started
to take the two-year course in Forestry offered by the
Graduate School of Applied Science. However, after spending
about three or four months in the School I had an offer to go into
Northern Quebec with an exploring party and decided that prac-
tical experience was worth my temporarily giving up my studies.
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 75
I, therefore, spent the ensuing year in Quebec and Nova Scotia
engaged in surveying and estimating timberlands.
I returned to the Graduate School the following winter and
completed my course in the next two years. Upon completion
of this course in 191 3, I continued my work as forester largely
in the estimating and surveying lines with J. W. Sewall of Old-
town, Maine, with whom I remained, with the exception of a short
period with the Russell Company of Boston, until 191 8.
Shortly after completing my graduate work I took the step,
which I have never yet regretted, of marrying and, while my time
was mostly spent in the woods, was able to maintain my home
and family at Oldtown, Maine.
Late in the year of 1918 I received a request from the U. S.
Forest Service to assist them for two or three months in locating
supplies of airplane spruce for the Navy. Once engaged upon
this work it was found that the investigation would occupy a
greater time than at first supposed and, therefore, I continued
on this work until June 1918 when I took over the Northeastern
District as Field Representative for the Forest Service in the
investigation of supplies of raw material for war purposes. The
latter part of September the Navy Department decided to increase
their activities and enlarge their force engaged in directly obtain-
ing spruce, and as I had done considerable work for this branch
of the serv^ice, I was offered the opportunity of a commission in
the Naval Reserve and applied for transfer from the Forest
Service to the Navy. This I obtained and received my commis-
sion on November i, 1918, which event so filled the enemy with
terror that he immediately concluded the Armistice.
The greatest benefit which I received from my connection with
the Navy was a Grandstand seat in the Little Building from which
I could watch at my ease the parades and celebration of the
Armistice.
I continued with the Office of Spruce Production for the Navy
until January helping clean up the business at the office and was
then relieved from active service. I immediately returned to
Bangor, Maine, and went into the employ of E. B. Draper of that
city, who was engaged in the production of pulp wood and lum-
ber. Since that time I have been with Mr. Draper as Assistant
Manager of Operations and Manager of Lands.

MY first year out of college was rather a vacant one, though
it included a considerable amount of book-reviewing. The
following year I spent — very pleasantly — in teaching in a small
country high school, Edgartown, Massachusetts. The next four
years were spent in teaching at Brown University. During the
war (as I did not pass my physical examination) I thought it
worth while to occupy myself with graduate study. Though I
had no real liking for research — and have far less now — I knew
that "advanced degrees" are of commercial value in my occupa-
tion and I began to feel that I must go through the mill. If I
had been able to take the war more callously I dare say the work
of this period would have seemed more real to me. In fact,
however, I cannot look back on these two years at Harvard
(1917-1919) as very memorable. This seems ungrateful, as I
was on scholarship, and also received two Bowdoin prizes.
W^hen, in the spring of 1919, I received a traveling fellowship in
English, my interest was considerably stimulated. I spent most
of the year in London and Oxford, though I made two short
visits to the continent. I accomplished a great deal of work this
year, although post-war London was more interesting to me
than my thesis, I fear.
On my return I was offered a position at Brown, and as I en-
joy teaching I was glad to return.
A humdrum record. Still, I can say to date, with Hazlitt, "I
have had a happy life."

THE past ten years have been divided equally between travel
abroad and study and teaching in Harvard University. Af-
ter a short trip in the West in 1911 I went to Europe for nine
months and travelled in France, Spain and England. In 1912
I returned for a year to the Harvard Graduate School. In 19 13
I left for a year's trip around the world. I spent the fall in the
Mediterranean; Spain, Algiers, Southern Italy and Egypt; in
January I left Ceylon for Southern India, travelled north through
the Rajput region as far as Darjeeling. From Calcutta I went
to Burma, the Straits Settlements, Siam, spent the spring in China
and Japan and came home in the summer via Honolulu. In 1914
I entered the Harvard Graduate School where I studied for three
years. I took the degree of A. M., taught as Assistant in the
Department of the Fine Arts and passed the Preliminary Examin-
ations for the degree of Ph. D. During the war I served, after
four months in the Officers' Training School, as Line Officer in
the 74th Infantry Regiment, 12th Division; and as Operations
Officer on the 24th Infantry Brigade Staff, 12th Division under
Brigadier General John I. Woodward. After demobilization I
taught for a few months at Harvard, was appointed a Travelling
Fellow in Mediseval and Renaissance Studies by the Archaeological
Institute of America and spent a year (1919-1920) in archaeolo-
gical research in Spain and France. This year I am assisting in
the Department of Fine Arts, (Harvard) and am working on
a History of Romanesque Painting in Spain which I shall present
as a Ph. D. Thesis. I hope to leave next fall for another year

to this country in 191 3 I took up painting pictures, and went
through the regular training in the School of the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston. In 191 7 I went to the first Plattsburg camp, but
was discharged after a few weeks for physical disability. Army
requirements gradually became less strict, and in April 1918 I
was accepted in the photographic section of the air service, and
was stationed at various schools and flying fields until the ar-
mistice. After discharge I completed my training at the Art
School, and have since that time been painting landscape, illustra-
tions, and occasional portraits.

the Radical Book Shop in Chicago.
As for my war record : — since the bombardment of Vera Cruz
in 1914 ( ?), I have been a scofifer at the value of all warmaking,
and during our war with Germany was prepared to refuse milit-
ary service as a conscientious objector if drafted.
Since the armistice I have seen more hope for humanity in
the Russian revolution than in any development of the capitalist
system in America. I would be glad to go on record as regard-
ing John Reed as one of the greatest of Harvard's sons, who
deserves an equal place with Lafayette in history.

Meeting Bayard Tuckerman on the street one day, in June,
1914, he decided that I would look better in his office than where
I was located at that time. Accordingly, 1 entered upon my new
duties and shortly thereafter every member of the well known
class of 191 1, was informed of this fact by receiving either a per-
sonal call or letter from me, asking them to take out Endow-
ment Insurance for the 191 1 Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Fund.
On January 24, 1917, I was married to Miss Helen Louise
Good of Brookline, Massachusetts, and we have lived since that
date in Cambridge, Massachusetts, only a few minutes away from
Harvard Square. Michael Corcoran, Junior, who will graduate
at Harvard in 1939, is now three years old and as for Barbara,
who is one year, she is the apple of her daddy's eye.
In the spring of 1920, I became associated with Charles E.
Brickley, Harvard 191 5, and we transacted a general investment
and brokerage business at 45 Maiden Lane, New York. Last
October I became the resident manager of Charles E. Brickley
& Company, members of the New York Stock Exchange, at their
Boston office, 53 State Street, and am trying hard now to master
the mysteries of the ticker and keep the family home fires burning.
I will be on deck for the big time in June and I am greatly
worried lest someone will discover before that date what Fred
Field has stored in his potato cellar.

MY existence has been quite uneventful as far as the other
fellows are concerned. When we received our degrees in
June 191 1 I took up work with the Government. I was ap-
pointed an assistant chemist in the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and assigned to the Food and Drug
Inspection Laboratory at New York City. This was my head-
quarters until I w^as commissioned in the Sanitary Corps in March
1918. I was assigned to the Division of Food and Nutrition of
the Medical Corps, and was sent from camp to camp in the South
investigating nutritional problems in the feeding of the men.
When I was discharged in January 1919 I returned to my posi-
tion wnth the Government at New York City. Since November
I, 1920, I have been located at the branch laboratory of the Bureau
of Chemistry in Buffalo. Have managed to remain single up to
date, with no immediate danger of becoming otherwise.

MY first job was with the American Felt Company of Boston
where I decorated ledgers for some six months. Then
I felt the lure of the department store and gave Mr. Filene the
benefit of my services for about a year and a half. Most of this
time I spent in charge of the Employment Department. I left
Filene's to join the American-Philippine Company of New York
where I was associated with various 191 1 men, notably Chess-
man Kittredge, Ralph Hopkins and Billie Fraser-Campbell. This
was in 1913. In January 1915 I was sent to the Philippine
Islands by the company in connection with a coconut oil mill it
was erecting under the company name of Visayan Refining Com-
pany at Cebu. I spent some months in Mindanao, more in
Manila, and finally cast anchor in Cebu where I have been ever
since with the exception of one visit home at the time of our
sexennial. The company's name has been changed to Philippine
Refining Corporation and I am now the manager of the company
here. We make more coconut oil than any other mill in these
islands and probably in the world. Offices in civil life do not
signify much in this neck of the woods, but I am at present
President of the Chamber of Commerce here if that means any-
thing.
There has been nothing exciting or particularly spectacular in
my career to date, but I have seen quite a lot and hope to see
more before I die, and this in itself is to my mind worth while.

THE first important thing I did after graduation was to take
unto myself a wife on August 24, 191 1.
A week later we sailed from New York on the "Lusitania",
remained a short time in England, sailing from Liverpool for
Buenos Aires. After a short stay in Buenos Aires we crossed
the Rio de la Plata where we made our home for the next four
years in the charming city of Montevideo. There I was in charge
of the "North American Academy", a boarding and day school
for boys, under the supervision of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Our life there was exceedingly interesting and we should have
remained there longer had it not been that the damp winters un-
dermined the health of my wife to such an extent that the doctors
advised our leaving.

We arrived in the United States in 191 5 just in time to spend
Christmas with our relatives in IlHnois.
After Christmas I began looking for a job and the only thing
for which I seemed qualified that was obtainable was a position
as teacher of Spanish in Central High School, St. Louis, Missouri.
It is just five years ago this very morning that I began to teach
Spanish here. I have enjoyed the work, I have had some recogni-
tion in the way of promotion and increase in salary, and altogether
I feel that I am a really useful member of this community. We
have a comfortable home in the suburbs, lots of friends, plenty of
work but a reasonable amount of leisure, an ambition to do even
more in the educational world, and a great desire to get back to
Harvard before many years pass, — preferably this June.

I LEFT college after midyears senior year and went to work at
once in the cotton department of Dick Brothers & Company in
New York, returning to Cambridge in June to take my degree.
I was married July 22nd, 191 1, at Ipswich, Massachusetts and
began at once to learn the cotton business from the ground up
which involved much travel and living in strange places. We
first went to New Orleans where we lived until February- 19 12
when we went to Liverpool where we remained about one year.

Our first daughter was born there. We returned to New York
in January 191 3 but as the cotton business was at very low ebb
I took the job of cotton buyer for the New England Cotton Yarn
Company at New Bedford which position I held until July 191 5
when I opened the Boston office of Calder & Richmond, Cotton
Merchants, of Providence, Rhode Island. My second daughter
was born at New Bedford. I bought a place at Weston, Mass-
achusetts and expected to settle down for a long time but then
the war came in April 19 17 and upset my plans.
I got a commission as ensign in the Naval Reserve Force as
I had had considerable experience in yachting and knew some-
thing about navigation. As there was no Officers' Training
School for the Navy I went to South America on a fruit steamer
in order to brush up my navigation and on my return in July
19 1 7 was lucky enough to get appointed to the First Reserve
Officers' Training Class at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. I
graduated there in September 191 7, was transferred from the
Reserve force to the U. S. Navy and before the Armistice had
received two automatic promotions through no fault of my own
to the rank of Lieutenant U. S. N. which rank I held when I
resigned from the service June 7th, 1919, immediately on my re-
turn to the United States after thirteen months service in the
war zone.
On leaving the Naval Academy I applied for command on one
of the new U. S. Navy Submarine chasers and for foreign service
and was lucky enough to get both, being ordered to command
U. S. S. C. 36 at that time consisting of a keel and three ribs.
We were not commissioned until January 1918 and after a brief
but intense period of training in the ice and cold off New London
in February and March, 1918, we sailed under sealed orders for
the war zone. I was at this time in command of a division of
three chasers and remained in command of the division until after
the end of the war.
I crossed the Atlantic in April 1918 (this vessel was no feet
long and propelled by three 240 h. p. standard engines) arriving
at our base at Plymouth, England, early in June, and at once began
offensive action against German submarines operating in the ap-
proaches to the English Channel and off Lands End. Our tour
of duty was four days out and four days in and we sought the
112 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
enemy by means of hydrophones. The enemy submarines did not
see fit to reveal their presence to us and we had Httle chance for
offensive action but secured in part our "raison d'etre" — they
discontinued operations to a great extent in the waters we were
patrolling. We were therefore ordered to operate about 400
miles west of Brest where submarines were known to be gather-
ing for a concentrated attack on some of our troop ship convoys.
At noon on September 2 we sighted a submarine on the surface
believed to be the U-53. The submarine immediately submerged
and we tracked her by means of our hydrophones for two and a
half hours at the end of which time we obtained a fix showing
her to be 225 yards distant. The division then attacked with a
depth bomb barrage after which time sound contact was lost.
There was no evidence of destruction or damage but the sub-
marine returned to her base via north of Scotland without further
operations on her part and was turned over to us m Harwich
after the armistice in a damaged condition.
After the armistice I caught the "flu" in Paris and nearly died
but after recovering our division made several cruises around the
British Isles, visiting Liverpool, Dartmouth and Salcombe. We
sailed for the United States at the end of February, 1919, spend-
ing a month in the delightful city of Brest, a few weeks each in
Lisbon, Ponta Delgada, and Bermuda, arriving in Boston at the
end of May, 1919. I resigned from the Navy June 7, 1919. I
was awarded the Navy Cross which I understand was likewise
awarded to most of the chaser commanders.
Early in July 1919 I returned to the cotton business, this time
with George H. McFadden & Brother in their head office and
therefore returned to live in my native city of Philadelphia. I
have had a very exciting and interesting ten years and when the
wind blows in from the sea I miss the Navy and the war.

AFTER graduation I spent the academic year 1911-1912 doing
graduate work in Romance Languages, in which I had
specialized in college. The year 1912-1913 was passed in
Charleston, South Carolina, teaching modern languages at the
Porter Military Academy. In September 191 3 I returned to
Cambridge as Instructor in Romance Languages, doing graduate
work at the same time under that wonderful group of teachers,
Professors Ford, Grandgent and Sheldon. In the fall of 1916,
after three years as instructor at Harvard, I came to Washington
as Instructor in Romance Languages in George Washington Uni-
versity, my chief being Professor George N. Henning, '94. In
February, 1918, I was promoted to Assistant Professor. My work
has been mainly in Spanish. I have been national vice-president,
as well as president, of the Washington Chapter of the American
Association of Teachers of Spanish, and am a vice-president of
the Association of Modem Language Teachers of the Middle
States and Maryland. I was secretary of the Romance Language
Section of the Modern Language Association of America at the
Columbus, Ohio, meeting in the spring of 1920. I am a cor-
responding member of the Hispanic Society of America. At
George Washington University I am a member of the Board of
Managers of Student Activities, representing the faculty of the
Department of Arts and Sciences, and president of the Faculty
Club.
My outside activities have been mainly in connection with the
"Journal of Education", edited by Dr. A. E. Winship, father of
our classmate Laurence. I have written many reviews and
articles for the "Journal" since leaving college, and now conduct
for it a regular column of "Modern Language Items". I have
also contributed short articles and reviews to "Hispania", "Mod-
ern Language Notes", "Modern Language Journal", and "Catho-
lic Historical Review". I have translated from Italian a Pas-
sion Play, "On the Slopes of Calvary", by Dr. Aurelio Palmieri,
118 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
which has been presented in Boston, Lawrence, Washington, D.
C, Philadelphia, and other places. From Spanish I have trans-
lated an unpublished book on Mexico by Jorge Vera Estaiiol.
With my good friend Guillermo Rivera '09, Instructor in
Spanish at Harvard, I have prepared a reader for Spanish classes,
"En Espaiia", published by Silver, Burdett & Company, and have
now in preparation for D. C. Heath & Company an edition of the
"sainetes" of Carlos Arniches.
The summer of 1920 I spent at Cornell University, Ithaca,
New York, in charge of the courses in Spanish in the Summer
School, vice professor Ralph Hayward Keniston, '04. With
Constantine E. McGuire, '11, and others, I am now engaged in
arranging for the Dante Centenary celebration in Washington in
October 1921. Professor Grandgent is to be the main speaker,
I have been for a number of years a reader in Romance Lan-
guages for the College Entrance Examination Board.
Certain ideas on the ideal wife led me to investigate "the An-
nex". The search was rewarded. My wife was graduated
from Radclifife in 1914, at the age of nineteen, with distinction in
Romance Languages, a record which has since been lowered to
eighteen by her sister. We are the proud parents of a prospective
Harvard '39 man and a Radcliffe '40 girl. Those of my class-
mates who are still poor miserable useless bachelors would do
well to study the Radcliffe alumnae list. You'll be surprised what
nice girls they are ; I know !

THE day after graduation I started for Panama, as the guest
of T. R. Goethals 1912, together with Bob Blackall and Hal
Tyron, returning on August i, to "accept a position" as office boy
in the Treasurer's Office of Stone and Webster in Boston.
In May 1912 I was sent to Savannah, Georgia, to the Savannah
Electric Company and served in various capacities, chiefly in the
Accounting Department. In June 191 5 I married Patience C.
Barrow of Savarmah and made this city my home. In 1917 I
was made Treasurer of the Savannah Electric Company, and in
October of that year enlisted in the Air Service and was sent to
the Ground Officers' Training School, Kelly Field, San Antonio,
Texas. In December I was commissioned and sent to the office
of the Chief of Air Service, Washington, where I floundered
around until the following April. From Washington I was sent
to the Wilbur Wright Field, Fairfield, Ohio, to a school for Arma-
ment Officers for a three months course, and in June I found
120 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
myself at Camp Merrit. Here I was given a company of the
June Replacement Draft and finally landed them at St. Aignan,
having spent a solid month on the transport.
My entire service in France was spent in Personnel Section of
the Air Service at Tours. Having been supposedly trained as an
Armament Officer it was quite natural that I should never get
to be one ! However, I had an excellent chance to observe the
inside working of this branch insofar as the handling of the
commissioned personnel was concerned by the West Point "Ring".
I do not refer to the junior officers from civilian life but to those
men who were commissioned as Majors and higher, specialists
and men of exceptional ability, who were treated with rank in-
justice and who were side tracked at ever}^ opportunity. There
seems to be a feeling that the Air Service as a whole in France
did not make good and if this is so the fault lies with a group of
narrow, conceited, and petty officers who played politics to a
"queen's taste".
Stone and Webster had my job waiting for me when I was
demobilized and I continued in my former capacity until October
of this year when I resigned to become a partner in the Clarke
Candy Company of Savannah. I have had a strenuous four
months, and was mighty glad to see the old year go.
I heartily recommend Savannah as a splendid place to live in.
If you don't mind a hot summer and like a mild winter, give it a
try. Then, too, there is a line of boats between Savannah and
various uncharted points south, and there is always a goodly sup-
ply to be had !

try my luck in another part of the country. While in Denver I
secured a position with the Denver & Rio Grand Southern Rail-

AS I didn't graduate with my class I'm afraid this will not
interest very many. I left at the end of freshman year
thinking that my college days were over, but the next fall I was
able to enter Dartmouth and finished there with the class of 1911.
The next four years were spent at Harvard Medical School and
I received my M. D. in 191 5. The next few months were spent
mainly as a vacation, during which time I acted as camp doctor
for the summer school of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
From September 191 5 to September 191 7 I put in two profitable
years as interne at the Massachusetts General Hospital. I in-
tended to remain there longer, but the war spoiled my plans and
I applied for a commission in the Medical Corps.
My first duty was at the Medical Officers' Training Camp at
Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, from November 10, 1917 to January 20,
191 8. Then I was transferred to the hospital at Fort Logan H.
Roots, Arkansas. Just before this transfer I married Susan
Lombard Swinscoe of Worcester, Massachusetts and she accom-

^ase Hospital 55, was mobilized in July 1918 at Fort Oglethorpe.
On August 30, 1918 we sailed for France in a large convoy and
arrived at Brest on September 1 1 without incident. We moved
by easy stages to Toul and got our hospital in working order
just too late for the St. Mihiel drive. As our sector was relatively
quiet from that time on until the Armistice we weren't tremen-
dously rushed until the "flu" hit us, then we had our hands full.
We stayed on and on and finally sailed from Marseilles on May
15, 191 9 and arrived in New York on June 2. I was discharged

I've had fair success in the year and a half that I've been

really the beginning of my life work in spite of my ten years
out of college.

Address: 94 Eastern Ave., Fall River, Mass.
GRADUATED from the Episcopal Theological School, Cam
bridge, Massachusetts. Served as Assistant Rector at St.
Paul's Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from 1914 to 1915;
Assistant Rector of St. John's Church, Bridgeport, Connecti-
cut, from 191 5 to 1918. Since 1918 I have been Rector of St.
Mark's Church, Fall River, Massachusetts.
Aside from my regular duties as a pastor, I have tried to sec
that the Church reaches the community. In the work that was
done at Milwaukee, Bridgeport and at Fall River, active Boy
Scout troops have been organized and carried on successfully
since the day they began. Once a year in the Bridgeport and
Fall River Churches, a Barn Service is held in the Christmas
season. This service requires a barn placed in the chancel of
the Church, and all the young people of the parishes are asked
to fill the barn with Christmas provisions and luxuries. These
are sent to the homes of the needy in time for Christmas. This
distribution of Christmas baskets has given real relief to families
in distress.
142 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
In Fall River, which is a great center of one of Massachusetts'
basic industries, I have established a Forum for the open discus-
sion of public questions of interest to all men. Sometimes the
discussions are given to Labor, and then again the meetings are
given to lectures which have a high educational value.
At present the parish is building a $30,000 parish house to
meet the needs of the people in the Church and the community.
With the completion of the parish house, I hope to establish a
dental clinic among these people who have not yet taken the ad-
vantages along these lines. In many instances boys and girls
have all their front teeth extracted before they are sixteen through
lack of care in the earlier formative years. Much can be done
in this kind of service in the community.
For the last two years an active young women's organization
has been growing into the life of the parish and the community.
It has a membership of seventy. They meet in three groups
once a week, and not only is it a center for making the proper
friendships, but also for preparing them for larger interests in
life. One group studies millinery, another embroidery, and the
third gives its time to dramatics.
The opportunities for real services in Fall River cannot be
equalled in any city. While other cities have their industrial
problems, there is a variety of industries which divides the inter-
ests of all. In Fall River, however, as well as other cities where
there is the one basic industry- engaging the interest of practically
every one, it is much easier to grasp the situation and meet the
needs of the people. It is in these industrial centers where the
central organization of all churches should give of their men and
money freely.

UPON graduating from Harvard I became Headmaster of the
Huntington School of Boston. I was largely responsible
for organizing and establishing this school which is now the
largest day school in New England, having an annual enrollment
of over three hundred boys. The school prepares for colleges
and technical schools and has now over two hundred graduates
scattered among the larger colleges of New England or in busi-
ness and industry. A goodly number of these boys have entered
Harvard, one of the list being Roscoe Pitts who figured so pro-
minently in the Princeton and Yale football games. The faculty
numbers twenty men with approximately half of them Harvard
men.
During the war I was actively interested in the various organ-
izations which worked among and for the soldiers. I was Junior
Red Cross Director for the New England District. I organized
and financed a farm camp for boys who wished to do their bit
to increase production. The wages earned by these boys during
the seasons the camp was operated totaled approximately $15,000.
Notwithstanding my many duties I have found time to continue
my studies at Harvard on a part time basis and was given the
A. M. degree last year. I am now studying for my doctorate.

THE "Life since Graduation" lines of a decennial report dis-
close the truth like the lines in one's face. Both can be
treated artificially, I suppose, with certain successful concealment,
but after all, the truth is best, and so here goes for an account
of a varied but very satisfying and interesting ten years.
Six months with an efficiency expert in the Chickering Piano
Factory, Boston, landed me in the berth of assistant superintend-
ent with the embarrassing task of putting into effect the various
"improvements" so glibly suggested. A year of that was fol-
lowed by a year in the wholesale selling office ending up in the
summer of 1914 as assistant to the General Manager of the parent
company in New York, the American Piano Company. Then
came a complete change of business in which with my father and
Charles Brewer, I took up the management of real estate prop-
erties. For one year and a half I withstood the lures of the Great
War but when finally in March 1916 an opportunity was offered
to go to Europe as assistant to the Chief of the War Relief Com-
mission of the Rockefeller Foundation, I could no longer resist.
The purpose of the Commission was the relief of non-combatants,
interest being particularly focused at the time on the peoples of
occupied Russia, i. e. Poland. Negotiations to this end entailed
conversations with the Governments of the Allied as well as Cen-
tral Powers and after four months spent in England, France,
Sweden and Switzerland, we finally gathered our courage and
plunged into Germany and Austria. Switzerland eventually be-
came headquarters, and at the time of America's entrance into the
war when the work of the Commission was merged with that of
the American Red Cross, we had a colony in Switzerland of 500
Belgian children, taken from the shelled areas, were feeding milk
to 50,000 children daily in Occupied Poland, were contributing to
the Y. M, C. A. work in prison camps of all countries, had started
an investigation of the spread of tuberculosis in France, and as-
152 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
sisted numerous war organizations such as institutions for the
war crippled and bHnd in various countries.
Upon completion of the Rockefeller work in June 19 17, I went
to Paris to enter the U. S. Army, was told to go back to America,
refused, and took up work with the American Red Cross until
entrance into the field service of the Army in France became
possible. This w^ork consisted of organizing canteens for French
troops along the lines of communication and laying the founda-
tion for similar canteens for our own troops upon their arrival.
I have eaten often at Childs, but never investigated its mechanism.
It served as a good sample, however, and by fall we were feeding
about 20,000 men a day, giving them a place to get cleaned up, to
sleep and to read and amuse themselves.
In November I again applied at G. H. Q., A. E. F., and on
December ist, 1917 received from Washington by cable commis-
sion as Second Lieutenant, F. A., O. R. C, and orders to report
to the Field Artillery School at Saumur, France. This was fol-
lowed by a course at the Tractor Artiller)' School, Vincennes,
and assignment in April to the 146th Field Artillery, which
served with the 155 mm. G. P. F. guns, as Corps Artillery during
Its participation in the war. From Battery C, I was assigned as
Operations Officer of the Regiment, from there to the Artillery
Information Section of the Artillery, First Army, U. S., served as
liaison with the Artillery of the Second French Army, eventually
digging myself out of that comfortable berth by way of the
Operation Section of the Artillery, First Army, U. S., to the 86th
R. A. L. French supporting American units in the Argonne.
On November 9, 1918 I was ordered to report to Colonel E. M.
House, Paris, took in the Armistice there, participated in the first
two organization months of the American Peace Commission, and
then was shot off to Poland on the Information Mission of Pro-
fessor A. C. Coolidge. From January 1919 until August I was
all over Poland, returning finally to Paris, where I was demobil-
ized on September i, 19 19, and sailed for home.
That would seem enough for any sensible human being but in
December came a cable from E. L. Dressel, American Commis-
sioner to Germany, asking me to join him as special assistant, and
upon receiving appointment from the State Department, I was
off again in January, 1920, and am still in Berlin as I write.

I am sorry to have taken up so much space ; I am sorry not to
have added more to the general prosperity of the class but in the
first case no itemized list of places and dates would have given a
true picture, — nor explained the lines in my face, — and in the
second I have at least the satisfaction of knowing that I car-
ried a bit of a word about Harvard University to remote corners
of new and old countries and have brought back to Harvard Uni-

may be of use.

►I- WILLIAM BAILLIE FRASER-CAMPBELL
WILLIAM Baillie Fraser-Campbell was the son of Evan
James and Edna (Arnold) Fraser-Campbell and was bom
at Staten Island, New York. He prepared for college at Bishops
College School, Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada, and at Friends'
Seminary, New York City. In college he was Captain of the
University Tennis Team, President of the University Mandolin
Club and a member of the Institute of 1770, D. K. E., Hasty
Pudding, Phoenix and Digamma.
After graduation he was with Crossman & Sielckin, general
merchants of New York, later with the American Philippine Com-
pany, and lastly with the banking house of Brown Brothers. In
February 1916 he was married to Elizabeth Hare Powell of
Ardsly on the Hudson, and the following April he sailed for Eng-

School: Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, Ind.
Degrees: A. B. 1911. Williams College, 1906-1908; Royal College of

THE summer of 191 1 I went to Italy with Harold Pulsifer,
returning that autumn to enter the Department of Decora-
tive Arts of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City,
where I spent six busy years. The Pierpont Morgan, Altman,
and other collections of works of art, were received during this
period, the Museum grew enormously, and the life w^s exciting,
as a considerable portion of these collections were under my
charge. I enjoyed part of the work, but always hoped to make
things myself rather than look after the things other people had
made, and I managed to finish various architectural and decora-
tive commissions, apart from the Museum. From 1914 to the
autumn of 191 7 I was Head of my department, but resigned to go
to the war.
I entered the Air Service, had my share of Texas dust and
flying-fields, and after the customary hopes deferred was sent to
Langley Field at Hampton Roads to experiment in the camou-
flage of air-planes. There I worked out various kinds of pro-
tective coloration which seemed of sufficient practical use to
justify their application, and as the authorities in Washington
thought so too, they officially recommended their adoption. I
was promoted and ordered abroad to Romorintin to paint our
ships there — when the Armistice put an end to that chapter.
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 155
However I could not get my discharge until the work was placed
on a "permanent" basis, but of course it is now in the limbo of
the rest of the Air Service.
Since my discharge in February 1919 I am trying to be a
painter with a strong inclination towards portraits. I have com-
pleted lately several decorative commissions in New York, have
spent some months in the Rocky Mountains and California, both
seeing and painting, and am now in Rome where I have a studio
in the old portion of the city. I am enjoying this venerable and
pleasant place and am glad to be able to work out peacefully some
ideas which have been troubling me for a long time.

IN July, 191 1, I went abroad and spent the summer travelling
about Europe with Bob McKay. Returning to New York
early in October, my first venture in business was as a runner in
the firm of Potter, Choate & Prentice. In a year's time I joined
the Bond Department of Kissell Kinnecutt & Company and
represented them in Rochester, New York, for about eighteen
months.
At the start of the World War I went to France, arriving there
August 14, 1914. Remained in France for about six weeks and
then went to England where I worked for a few weeks in the
Passport department of the American Embassy.
Returning to America I resumed business, and in June 1916
went to the Mexican Border with the 7th N. Y. Infantry. On
returning to New York I was commissioned Second Lieutenant
in the 15th N. Y. Infantry. In July 1917 we were mustered into
the Federal Service and I became First Lieutenant. After a
hectic existence in half a dozen training camps we sailed for
Europe in November 1917. Shortly after we arrived the name
of the regiment was changed to the 369th Infantry and we were
assigned to the i6th Division French Army. We were in line
continuously in Champagne from April until September. In
September my transfer to the 306th Battalion Tank Corps arrived.
After the Armistice I spent a delightful month or so in Paris
attached to the Peace Commission and returned to America in
April 191 9. Since then I have been connected with the Stock
Exchange firm of Moore, Leonard & Lynch.

IMMEDIATELY after graduation I took refuge in the teaching
profession. Holding down, more or less, two jobs, one in
Concord, Massachusetts, and one in Philadelphia at the Penn
Charter School, I made more or less of a living until the latter
institution found out my deficiencies and fired me. Feeling at
that juncture both rich and ignorant I came back to Cambridge
and spent a year, or most of one, with Dean Holmes and the
Graduate School of Education, getting the A. M. tattooed. The
late unpleasantness with the Central Powers spilled my beans
along with those of the rest of us, and I started in to see America
first. I began as a buck in Boston, but proceeded anon to the
second Plattsburgh Camp on the strength of a recommendation
from Edmands, whom I slipped the snappy salute one day on
Hawley Street, getting the optimistic response that if he could
get a commission — he having emerged from the first camp an
officer at the hands of a perspicacious lot, I'll say — probably any-
body could. At the said camp they set me to teaching gunnery,
and I got my commission and a life sentence to schools. Suc-
cessively thence to Devens, Columbia, South Carolina, Cody, New
Mexico, Taylor, Kentucky, where the Country Club, God bless
'em, could always find you some, Sill, Oklahoma, and the wide
world again. Nobody would give me a job teaching, so I be-
came an enemy of society and am engaged in selling spellers to
those foolish enough to buy them. Any school authorities in the
class please write. Last summer I found a girl who didn't know
me very well ; we got married in June and I have been able to
keep her, so far, from the discovery of my true character. My
health is splendid, and my condition much improved by the last
step.
From my point of view it was a good war. I didn't get over,
of course, but the army life I got put muscle on and gave me an
164 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
appetite. In a small way I feel exactly as McNider does about
the Legion, and I am doing my inadequate damnedest to make
my post worth while. It is that, too. We have an all-sorts
bunch, as every decent post, I suppose, has. We get in there and
curse the army and swear about the bonus and write majority
and minority letters to our congressman, but whatever the value
of that sort of thing is, we are getting under each other's hides
and finding out what makes Ward 23. The aftermath of the
war has a lot of dark smirches on it, but one thing it has produced
capable of immeasurable public service, and that's the A. L.

UNTIL late 191 1 I was an accountant in the Municipal Bureau

Baltimore to fill the position of cost accountant for Henry Sonne-
bonn Company, clothing manufacturers. Cleveland became my
next home in April 1914, shortly after I was married. From
166 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
then on until June 1919 I was busy at the Printz-Brederman
Company, first in the capacity of cost accountant and then as
factory manager, and at the same time happy in contemplating
an increasing family.
Beginning June 1919 I became a professional Industrial Engi-
neer, specializing in the needle trades, trusting that what little I
had contributed to the science of manufacturing would be re-
warded by wider recognition. It still makes me wonder, when I
think of it, why it has fallen to my lot to teach others how to run
their business and that these others are actually paying for it.
However, I am very grateful to Harvard for having taught
me what it did. For upon what I learned there I built and en-
joyed my work as much as anyone could. To say that I owe
much happiness to my college training is not enough, for I owe
to it also a large share of my earning power.

ALTHOUGH "admitted to the company of educated men" in
191 1, I felt that more education was necessary before at-
tempting to earn a living, so I made one of the wisest decisions
of my long and eventful career and entered the Harvard Gradu-
ate School of Business Administration. In two years I en-
deavored to absorb the fundamentals of business, particularly ac-
counting, and received the degree of the school in 1913, — Master
in (not of) Business Administration. I served as treasurer of
the school club and was made permanent secretary of my class.
Later I was instrumental in organizing the Harvard Business
School Alumni Association and served on its council until the
present year.
My first business experience was with Willett, Sears & Com-
pany, since deceased, where I learned a lot of good and bad
business in the accounting branches of that and some of its "client
companies". A year and a half was enough and more, so I
moved along in February, 191 5, to the auditing department of
the Standard Oil Company of New York and for another eighteen
months rotated among the several main offices of that company
absorbing what little information was lying around loose. Mean-
1(58 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
while I took the wisest step of all and married. In the course of
time certain conditions indicated in the statistical chart made
travelling rather distasteful. July, 1916, found me at the foot
of the ladder in the Boston office of Lybrand, Ross Brothers &
Montgomery, one of the finest firms of public accountants in the
country. By this time, being in the third job in three years,
nomadic instincts were well developed. I lasted less than a year.
During the year, however, I took and passed the State examina-
tions for the degree of Certified Public Accountant, which had
been a goal since 191 1. About that time the country pocketed
its pride and entered the war, but for various reasons, which now
as then seemed sufficient, I did not enlist. In June, 191 7, to
relieve a man for important government service, I became of-
fice manager and shortly afterward assistant treasurer for the
Henley Kimball Company, distributors of Hudson cars. Eight-
een months was again fatal. I exchanged the comparative
monotony of private work for the kaleidescopic joys of public
accounting by again joining the staff of Lybrand, Ross Brothers,
in February, 1919. Six years out of the university and on my
fifth job. I am now on my sixth, and like most rolling stones
have gathered little moss. In December, 1919, I forsook the
career of a wage slave and became a capitalist (?) by hanging
out my shingle as a C. P. A., the work I had been training for.
Deo volens, I shall last longer than eighteen months.
My only connection outside my profession is with Pace & Pace,
where I am in the faculty, instructing in accounting in their Bos-
ton School.

IT seems a long time since I took my Lares and Penates (same
being, in modern days, my degree and receipted bills) and left
Cambridge in pursuit of wealth and fame, and though the pur-
suit has been a long and eager one, both W. and F. have, I feel,
increased their lead, and I am now running about two jumps
ahead of the bill collector — who is gaining. However, if I can
only keep it up for one hundred years or so —
I have followed the profession in the atmosphere of which I
grew up, namely, engineering. From the fall of 191 1 to that of
191 3 I helped, — in a small, — very small, — way — to build the Cat-
skill Aqueduct, spending much of my time three hundred feet odd
below the street of New York in the City Tunnel. Then I went
to work for Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins, contractors for part of
the City Tunnel, and under the inspiration and guidance of this
firm, manifested by their carelessness as to my being, I learned
a little about designing, estimating and bulldozing.
Late in 1914, — just six years ago at this writing, — I came to
my present guardian angel, — Smith, Hauser & Maclsaac, Inc.
I am proudest of the fact that I have been employed by them for
six years through both plenty and famine in the contracting
game.
We, — note the note of ownership, — built a piece of subway in
New York, the William Street section, than which none was
more difficult. In 191 7 some fifteen thousand of us built Camp
Meade, one of the big cantonments. Then we went to Center Bay,
Missouri, and built an Ordnance Depot. I, however, re-
mained in New York with one or two others, such as a super-
annuated watchman and an excitable old bookkeeper, and had the
pleasant experience of finishing up the subway job, with costs
rising over night and labor simply impossible.
During 1918 we worked for the Navy at Brooklyn and Phil-
adelphia. At present we're working yet, for the Army. And if
you think we're to be classed with war profiteers just let me say
170 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
that our total fees on $20,000,000 were hardly $300,000, and that
the "Old Man" has been in broken health ever since Camp Meade
where, at the age of sixty, and for long inactive, he put in twenty
hours a day for seven solid weeks.
I dabble in things pertinent to the Engineering School, and I
practice a little architecture on the side. I am raising a family, —
who of us now is not? Though sorrow and trouble has touched
my fair brow I am still in the ring, as witness a game of football
a week ago.
I'm a commuter, — an accursed fate, — but still it might be the
Erie instead of the glorious Hudson River twice a day. I am
much travelled, having, in the past ten years, about 120,000 miles
of railroad track to my credit.
P. S. I am growing a moustache so strangers won't call me
"boy".

for two, I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant, Infantry, and
assigned to Camp Devens, Massachusetts. Here several com-

and on the strength of that was married on May 25th to Ruth
Bailey of Maiden, Massachusetts, my home town. About the
last of June I was sent to Camp Perry, Ohio, to the Small Arms
Firing School. Upon my return I was assigned to the 73rd
Infantry, 12th Division under General McCain. On August
24th I was promoted to a Captain and placed in command of
Co. B, 73rd Infantry, 12th Division. After the armistice this
company had to be mustered out. Its Captain secured his
discharge on February 4, 1919. After a welcome vacation I
threw in my lot with that of the Walworth Manufacturing Com-
pany of Boston and was sent to the Philadelphia branch where
I have been since. I feel like a regular Quaker by now. See-lah !

AFTER graduation from college in 1911, I entered the medical

M. D. I then became a medical house officer at the Boston City
Hospital for twenty months. After all this preliminary training
I still lacked courage to face the outside world, so I entered the
Children's Hospital, Boston, for nine more months, ending April
1 91 7. I was spared the ennui of warming a desk chair in my
office, by the declaration of war. Brave like, I answered the call

in May, 1917 and found myself overseas in July 1917, attached
to a British regiment as medical house officer. As is the way in
the army, my qualifications as a children's doctor presumed that
I could sen^e as a regimental M. O. How mete ! However, my
services were appreciated for it was my British colonel who re-
commended me for promotion to the rank of captain. Wasn't
it topping? After serving a year with the B. E. F. stick in hand
and kerchief in sleeve, I was transferred to the A. E. F. at the
time of the Chateau-Thierry drive. I was attached to Evacua-
tion Hospital No. 4, where work took the place of four o'clock
tea. With this organization I went into Germany with the Army
of (no) Occupation. Our first stop in Germany was in Trarben-
Trarbach an der Moselle. Here the motto is,
Es trinkt der Mensch, es sauft das Pferd
In Trarhen-Trarhach ist es umgekehrt.
I returned home via Southern route S. S. Zeelandia and was
discharged at Camp Jackson, April 21, 1919. Armistice Day,
1919 I celebrated in the approved fashion, — I got married. I am
now the proud possessor of a little girl.
With whiskey high, stocks low and appeals for the Harvard

business? I am now practising diseases of children and I find

I LEFT college in February 191 2. From that date until January
1913 I automobiled around Europe. During 1913, I was in
Washington preparing for taking examinations for diplomatic
service. Was informed of having passed examination on January
19, 1914. Appointed as Third Secretary to Embassy in London
May 22, 19 1 4. Promoted to Second Secretary of Embassy July
28, 1916. Appointed as Charge d'Affaires of the United States
September 22, 1916 at Caracas, Venezuela. Appointed Charge
d'Afifaires of the United States April 7, 1918 at Panama, Republic
of Panama. Assigned for duty in the Latin American Division
of the State Department at Washington December 26, 1918.
Promoted to First Secretary of Embassy December 5, 1919. Ap-
pointed first secretary of the American Mission at Budapest,
Hungary, May 20, 1920. Appointed Charge d'Affaires of the
United States at Bucharest, Roumania, October 27, 1920, where
I am at the present time.
My opinion of the service, that is to say, the diplomatic service,
is that it needs reorganization very badly, that for the sake of
American business and other interests abroad, as well as for the
sake of the foreign relations of the United States which during
the past eight years have suffered incalculably owing to the im-
possible poUtical appointments made by WilUam Jennings Bryan,
when Secretary of State, it should be altogether removed from
politics. It should be impossible for a person in no way qualified
to hold a responsible position of any kind to be made Ambassador
or Minister in some country where American interests are of the
very greatest importance, just because the person referred to
made a subscription to the funds of the party elected. Millions
of dollars have been lost in foreign markets to American busi-
ness owing to the most deplorable appointments made by Mr.
Bryan since 1913. If the personal records of these Ministers
while in office could become known to the pubUc, it is safe to
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 175
say that under no conditions would the people of the United
States put up in the future with similar misrepresentation abroad.
In the final analysis the question is one for the voter, who
through Congress should demand that American business inter-
ests abroad as well as the country's foreign relations should have
a square deal, proper representation and protection. In these
days of political and economic interdependence between nations
the importance of a country's foreign service cannot be exagger-
ated.

Parents: Herbert Eveleth Greene, Harriet Savage Chase.
School: Jefferson School, Baltimore, Md.

Occupation: Instructor at Harvard.
Address: 44 Shepard St., Cambridge, Mass.
FROM 191 1 to 1914, I was an undergraduate (Rhodes Scholar)
at Balliol College, Oxford University, where I studied
Literce Humaniores (Philosophy and Ancient History), and ac-
quired a lasting respect for the well-balanced intellectual, social,
and athletic life of an English University. It is pleasant to be
able to remember an England that in many respects can never
again be the same, and to know a number of the young English-
men who represented, in the war and in the reconstruction, the
best in the English tradition. My vacations, generously long,
were spent mainly in France, Italy, Greece, and Germany ; during
the last year I stayed in England.
From 1914 to 1917 I was at Harvard, first as Instructor in
176 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
English, and then as Secretary of the Faculty Committee on the
Use of English by Students, and carrying on graduate studies in
classics which led to the Ph. D. in 1917. During these years I
lived as a proctor in the Freshman Dormitories, which are an
interesting, and on the whole a successful, attempt to create a
sane and agreeable atmosphere for the whole freshmen class.
In 191 7 I was married, and became a master in Greek at Groton
School. It is a fine school, in which the boys are given every
opportunity for all-round development, and are helped, possibly
even more than is desirable, to conform to the ideal of the school.
Of its kind, no school could be better; and the friendly relations
of masters and boys, and of the masters themselves, as well as the
out-of-door life, are delightful.
In 1920 I returned with my augmented family to Harvard,
where I am now Instructor in Greek and Latin. My work con-
sists mainly of giving courses in the usual way, but includes also
the supervision and constant advising of the men concentrating
in classics ; for a movement has been launched in the teaching
of classics, as in other departments, aiming at the students' getting
an understanding of the significance of their subject, not merely
at their passing courses. From time to time I have been writing
on literary and philosophical subjects.
My military experience went no further than a month at Platts-
burgli (August, 1916), during which time I held for nearly an
hour the high rank of corporal, and helped in drilling the Groton
School training battalion.

THE year following graduation I tutored in a private family
in New York State, and in the fall of 1912 entered the
Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1916. A fourteen month
interneship on the medical side in the Massachusetts General
Hospital kept me busier and more contented than I have ever
been in my life, and in October 191 7 I sailed for France to enter
the Harvard Surgical Unit which I had promised the year before
to enter.
At the end of the war I entered the service of the International
Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, and sailed for Brazil
in March 1919. The first year I travelled over the southern part
of Brazil studying tropical diseases and problems in connection
with public health in these regions, and this second year has been
devoted to the installation and administration of five posts for the
intensive treatment of hookworm disease and its prevention, and
the prevention and treatment of malaria. About 50,000 persons
were examined and about the same number of treatments given.
I greatly regret being too busy to make the long journey back
to the Decennial ; and I hope that in spite of having no medical
support Sanger Steel will strike up that most lyrical of prescrip-
tions, "Take a highball at night fall !" and all weakly brothers in
need of treatment will join in. But only when prescribed by a
physician ! See Harding or Aub — early — every doctor gets mean
when he's tired.

LEAVING college with nothing more definite in mind than a
desire to get into business, I tried several lines of work from
interior decorating to selling advertising to manufacturers. Then
the opportunity was offered to go with Dennison Manufacturing
Company, entering a salesmen's class. This was the chance to
make the right connection and gain a basic knowledge.
After three and a half months of intensive training at the
factory they sent me to Pittsburgh to sell the general line in the
smaller towns of Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Later, I specialized in one line in the chief manufacturing towns,
and was then transferred home to Massachusetts territory.
Fortunately, this territory was waiting for me after getting out
of service, and after about another year on it I was taken into
the factory as assistant to the committee chairman of the line I
had been selling. Nine months later they gave me my present
job of Assistant Purchasing Agent.

director in several real estate and shipping companies.
During World War characterized by Commanding Officer as
the man "who got the Navy to sea in the Merchant Marine and
got the Merchant Marine to see the Navy". Placed two patrol
vessels in commission and after brief sea experience was ordered
to organize and develop the officers' Material School (Deck),
Naval Auxiliary Reserve. Personally selected the students, su-
pervised their sea training, and commissioned over 4,000 naval
officers for troop and cargo transports. This school was com-
monly known as "The Annapolis of the Merchant Marine".
That the United States Steamboat Inspectors gave third mate
licenses to products of the school who, after graduation, had only
four months of sea training instead of the customary two years,
and that the men passed their examinations for such licenses, is
but one of the many excellent tributes to the efficiency and organ-
ization of the work. The "Deck School Log" (300 pp. Wynkoop,
Hallenbeck Crawford, 1920.) was dedicated to me by the editors.

wounds received in action on September 6, 1918, in France.
A classmate has written,
"Tom had two pre-eminent characteristics that made him beloved
by all who knew him. They were his ever buoyant and cheery spirit
and his absolute unselfishness and desire to do for others. To what
extent he was willing to go can be seen in his final supreme sacrifice."

18S CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
AFTER graduation I accepted a position as a clerk in the Audit-
ing Department of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company
at Baltimore. I worked a year with this company, and then
decided to obey that call which Mr. Greeley first introduced, "Go
West, young man." I went West, and never have regretted it. I
lived on my cousin's ranch for a year, — Mr. Granville Cecil, —
and I may say right here that I have never had a more delightful
and enjoyable time than during that year. Poor fellow, he died
from an operation for appendicitis in the late fall of 1914. My
war experiences are not pleasant remembrances, and I shall avoid
writing about them. I am now located at Los Angeles, Califor-
nia. Have gone back to office work again, but have great hopes
and expectations of branching out into broader fields.

AFTER graduation spent two years at the Harvard Forestry

published in conjunction with Professor Irving Bailey in the
Forestry Quarterly, and entitled "Graded Log Rules and Volume

In the winter of 1914 took the short course in Agriculture at
the Massachusetts Agricultural College. During the next three
years I set out about 2500 fruit trees on my farm in Wilton, and
since then have been engaged in fruit-growing, general farming,
and lumbering.
In the fall of 19 17 I was turned down by the Army doctors
as not physically qualified to be in one of the Logging Regi-
ments, but the next fall was able to get into the Field Artillery
Officers' Training School at Camp Taylor, arriving there three
days before the Armistice was signed.
At present I am doing quite a bit of lumbering, and before
long expect to be producing fruit on quite a large scale, as my
trees are just coming into bearing age.

FOR two years after graduation I was tutor for two sons of

three years were in the Law School, wherein I received the
"gentleman's mark," but I did an unbelievable amount of type-
writing for other fellows in the Law School. The summer of
194 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
1916 I spent as secretary for Sir Edgar Speyer, London banker,
and the next year was in California, getting admitted to the
bar. Then came seventeen months in the Field Artillery — and
never got across, but landed as far as Camp Jackson, South
Carolina, and was discharged Second Lieutenant, Field Artillery.
The last two years I have spent in the office of F. G. Cruick-
shank, best probate lawyer in Pasadena, but at this present writ-
ing I am spending time in Los Angeles, preparing income tax
returns for people who cannot understand the intricacies of the
thing. After March 15 I hope to open an office of my own in
Los Angeles.
As to the service, I can only speak of it with regret — a most
poignant bitterness, because I enlisted in August 19 17 with an
outfit that I hoped had the pull to get overseas orders and I made
the mistake of my life in not going back to Boston at that time
and trying to tie up with an eastern outfit that would have had
a better chance of seeing the real stuff.

SINCE graduation I have spent the usual three years of prepara-
tion for the practice of law. Following that I have spent
all of my time, except for the year of army life, in the routine
practice of law in the office of Gaston, Snow, Saltonstall & Hunt,
Boston, and have recently become a member of that firm.
My year in the army was spent entirely in America. Early
in January 1918 I was called to the School of Military Aero-
nautics at Columbus, Ohio, as a cadet. This school was devoted
at that time to the training of material for administrative officers
and adjutants. In March I was commissioned a Second Lieute-
nant and sent to an Air Service Camp at Tonoke, Arkansas,
where I was assigned to headquarters staff as Assistant Adjutant,
and later as Personnel Officer. Early in my stay there I made
the fatal mistake of working hard and endeavoring to do my job
well, with the result that the C. O. was never willing to give me
orders away. I find from comparison with others that this ex-
perience was common and unfortunate. So I remained there
until discharged.
Tonoke is located in the swampy flat district between Little
Rock, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee. It is the center of
the rice growing district, and consequently full of malarial mos-
quitoes. The U. S. Public Health Department's examination
showed that about one half of the permanent population had
malaria. The only reason I ever discovered for the building of
an expensive camp there was the fact that U. S. Senator Robin-
son of Arkansas, recently permanently chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, resided there. Hardly a reason logi-
cal to the purpose of the expenditure of Government funds, name-
ly to win the war.
I am now chairman of the Finance Committee of the Town of
Lexington.

AFTER leaving college, at mid-year's in senior year, I entered
the employ of my father's firm where I have been con-
tinuously with the exception of some five months in Washing-
ton as a secretary to Representative John W. Weeks, later
Senator.
On May 14, 19 17, at the request of the Acting Chairman of
the Red Cross, Mr. Wadsworth, I went to Washington and served
under the Finance Committee of the War Council of the Red
206 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
Cross as Cashier of first Red Cross War Fund for One Hundred
Million Dollars. I was engaged in this capacity, and later in
charge of the collection of funds raised in this First drive until
November lo, 1917.
Following three months of volunteer civilian service in the
Office of Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, I was com-
missioned an ensign U. S. N. R. F., January 23rd, and assigned
to duty in the Office of Naval Operations as assistant to Cap-
tain William Pitt Scott of the Planning Section, whose special
detail was the furnishing of naval protection to merchant vessels
through the medium of an Armed Guard.
In addition to regular duties as assistant to the Aide for Armed
Guards there was considerable extra duty in the nature of liaison
work with the Army Embarkation Service, Shipping Board and
Emergency Fleet Corporation, Food Administration, War Trade
Board and other governmental agencies.
In August of 1918 the Armed Guard Office was combined with
the Material Section of the Naval Overseas Transport Service.
Captain Scott was assigned entirely to work of the Planning Sec-
tion and later sent to sea in command of the "Frederick" and the
entire work of the Armed Guard Section assigned to me. I also
succeeded Captain Scott as the representative of the Navy on the
"Ship Protection Committee."
About this time a "Gun Desk" was established in the Material
Section, with the function of assignment of all Naval Guns. This
desk had scarcely become operative when the armistice was signed.
I was shortly afterwards promoted to be Lieutenant (J. G.) and
was released from active duty on January 24, 1919. At the time
of my release from active duty all but twenty of the over thr,ee
hundred merchant ships for which the Navy had furnished Armed
Guards had been disarmed.

AFTER graduating from Harvard in February 191 2, I accepted
a position in the Wilkes Barre High School, where I taught
for a year and a half. At the conclusion of this period, I went
to New York City, as Director of Boy's Work for the Twenty
Third Street Y. M. C. A., which position I held three years,
then entering Union Theological Seminary, from which I gradu-
ated in the spring of 1919, with the B. D. Degree, having spent
four years there. During my Seminary Course, I carried on the
work of the Boys' Department for half a year. In the spring
of the first year in Seminary, I took charge of the Church In-
stitute at Babylon, New York, which had just been built by three
co-operating churches, and organized their physical work, closing
the season with an exhibition. The following year I was Sec-
retary of the Y. M. C. A. of New York University, and the suc-
ceeding year, Secretary of the Columbia University Y. M. C. A.
Being beyond the draft age, and in Seminary, I was not drafted
for service. I was anticipating enlisting, when the authorities of
the University, in view of the condition at the University, and
the fact that Chaplain Knox was to be sent overseas with the
Y. M. C. A. which would have left the University without reli-
gious direction if I went, too, urged me to remain with the Y.
M. C. A. This I did. I resigned at the end of the college year,
in the spring of 1918, and returned to Union in the fall, taking
steps leading to licensure, in order to become Army Chaplain.
Before I could complete these steps, the armistice was signed.
During my Seminar}^ Course I spent three summers as Director of
Young Peoples' Work of the Southern Adirondack Mission. Be-
fore graduating from the Seminary, I accepted the pastorate of the
Lake View Presbyterian Church of Chicago. I entered upon my
work August i, 1919 and am now very happily located in that field.

LEFT college fully intending to make industrial chemistry my
future work. Secured a position at once as chemist with
the Fleischmann Manufacturing Company, and spent a year at
Peekskill, New York, learning the manufacture of yeast and its
by-products. At the end of that time I was told that I was to be
sent to Seattle permanently. That was too far from New York
to suit me, and I resigned. I then took up the study of medicine,
and graduated in 1916, taking second prize. The next year I
spent taking a hospital interneship. Then, just as I was looking
for a location to practice, we entered the war. I received a com-
mission as First Lieutenant, M. R. C. in June 1917, and was or-
dered to one of the many special medical courses given in the
army. My course happened to be x-ray work. After three
months instruction I was ordered to Camp Greenleaf, Fort Ogle-
thorpe, for further instruction. My luck was good and I only
stayed there ten days, when I was ordered to the Base Hospital,
Fort Oglethorpe. In January 1918 it was planned to consolidate
all the x-ray courses at Fort Oglethorpe, and I was appointed
instructor in this school, being the only person there for this work.
This school gradually grew to tremendous proportions. In May
1918 I received a captain's commission, and after many efforts
succeeded in being sent to an organization. Base Hospital No. 51,
mobilizing for overseas service. In July 1918 we crossed to
Southampton, then to Cherbourg, and by devious routes finally
reached Toul. Here we settled down just in time for the St.
Mihiel drive. My days were spent constantly in a small dark-
ened room looking for and localizing bullets and other articles
of hardware by means of the fluoroscope. In April 1919 I was

designated commanding officer of Base Hospital No. 51. On
May 2nd I received the commission of Major, M. C. On May 15
we sailed from Marseilles, arriving at Camp Merritt June 2nd.
After finally disbanding the organization I was discharged on
July 10, 1919. I then decided to continue specializing in x-ray
work, and opened an office. I have secured three very good
hospital appointments. Therefore in spite of the ten years since
leaving college I seem to have just started to work.

THESE histories of one's life are seldom sources of pleasure
to their writers or of inspiration to their unhappy readers.
Moreover there are transparent dangers in being personal,
especially about oneself. It is fortunate for many of us that the
sod of our pre-graduation past need not be turned, but that we
may begin with the glorious and auspicious moment at which we
were turned out into the cold world, ready-made citizens naturally
an honor to the community, our diplomas in one hand, the other
hand as yet empty of the cold world's goods. As a means where-
by this last situation might in my own case be improved, I entered
Law School, and left after a year to tutor for three years, during
which I was a lone wanderer here and abroad. In Italy I made
the remarkable discover}- that Italian art was even more interest-
ing than I had thought it in Fine Arts. In France I saw King
George, who thoughtlessly failed to tell me that the w^ar would
start so short a time thereafter. So we sailed home in blissful
ignorance of the change one small month w^as to bring. Two
years more in Law School, from which I was graduated in 191 7.

Then the Service, in which the writer's modest tasks were to
dangle under balloons that made one seasick, and on the ground
to do court martial work. In the latter 1 was distinguished by
continually being given men to defend and always succeeding in
getting them found guilty. For this I was oflfered a judge ad-
vocacy, probably on the theory that if when I defended a man he
was found guilty, success as a prosecutor would be even more
assured. The offer, however, was refused, and refused with a
reckless disregard of the consequences which I later regretted.
These young lawyers are thoroughly to be pitied. For a year
I grew thin apace and thought of that judge advocacy plus its
fifty per cent flying pay. For some time now I have been gain-
ing in weight if not in favor. That I have hopes eventually of
being honored by my fellow-citizens may of course be taken for
granted. I have never written anything that has not been sup-
pressed. Perhaps this will get by; I doubt it.

NINETEEN hundred and eleven (all the year) and to June 1912,
acted as secretary to father, who on account of failing eye-
sight, was forced to resign from presidency of a local bank. Sum-
mer of 1912, abroad with William L Bowditch, of Milton, Mass-

immediately began the practice of law in the office of Ex-Con-
gressman Franklin E. Brooks, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
During the summer of 1913, met William L Bowditch in San
Francisco, California, and took a Pacific Coast Steamship Com-
pany boat to Panama, which stopped at numerous Mexican and
Central American jwrts. "Forty days and forty nights" on the
Pacific. Colonel Goethals showed us over the Canal, just at the
time when Gatun Lake was being allowed to fill. Decided that
Colonel Goethals was worthy of a Harvard LL. D. President
Lowell shortly afterward conferred it on him.
Winter of 1916-1917 Instructor in a course of Banking and
Banking Law at Colorado College. In 191 6, following the death
of Mr. Brooks, George \Y. Bierbauer and myself formed the
partnership of Bierbauer and Jackson, both of us having pre-

World War, served as local chairman of the Military Training
Camps Association; member of the Committees covering the
various Liberty Loan, Red Cross, and United War Work Cam-
paigns; also as Permit Agent of the State Department govern-
ing the issuance of Passports for Southern Colorado in ad-
dition to the regular work with the Department of Justice. The
latter work involved, among other matters, reports and decisions
as to the propriety of the issuance of various explosive permits
in the Cripple Creek Mining District. My three brothers all
saw active military service as officers; Roland, Harvard 1916,
being killed in action in France while serving as Second Lieute-
nant, Infantry.
In 1920, experienced the additional pleasures of a family in
which two generations are represented instead of one.
Since graduation, a number of Harvard classmates and friends,
(including Alan Gregg, Johnny Storer, Haniel Long, '09, Richard
Gregg '07, Witter Bynner) have given us visits en route for more
remote parts. Have also had glimpses in this city of Harold
Webber who specialized on Cripple Creek and Pueblo, and Reggie
Foster who fell into the arms of an omnipresent lady on the top
of Pikes Peak. Another classmate ran afoul of western laws
and spent a night in our City Jail. Other classmates who man-
aged to make California but who were afraid of Colorado Springs
ladies, include Alex Wheeler and Abe Stevens. I understand
they are still bachelors, which is a severe penalty, but shows what
may be in store for any classmate who does not have sociability
enough to leave some eastern dust in this town, whenever he has
occasion to cross the continent. Please let everyone contemplat-
ing a western journey make a note of the awful fate of Wheeler
and Stevens and plan to break his journey with people who will
be as glad to see him, as he may be glad to rest his weary skull
and bones !

graduate work at Johns Hopkins University until April 1917,
when I enlisted in the Navy. Was discharged from the Navy in
February 1919, and became a salesman for a large Baltimore com-
pany whose salesmanager never learned what "Veritas" meant.
At the present time I am engaged in Americanization work in the
War Department
During my service in the Navy as an enlisted man and officer
I confirmed what I had always believed, — that the service in no
way alters the fundamental characteristics of men. As a class
I found officers and men capable, cordial and efficient, but there
is a type of officer in the service who should be properly sup-
pressed,— the one who thinks the Navy his particular property
and that an Annapolis education has assured him salvation.
This type is sufficiently prevalent to be a blot on the Navy and in
some cases prevented the best results during the war, because of
inability to work with "outsiders" temporarily in the service.
The administrative end of the Navy was and is farcical in its
impotency, due largely to the lack of a competent head, but mostly
to the fact that we easy going Americans care little how our
services are run. But with all its faults, "Long live the Navy !"

(Bus.) 61 Broadway, New York, N. Y.
MY persistent efforts to become a patent lawyer of distinction
have not yet been crowned with complete success on ac-
count of a number of notable interruptions. For the first three
years after graduation I kept my nose so close to the Columbia
Law School grindstone that I amassed a string of A's that would
have been regarded as deliberately ungentlemanly in college, be-
came an editor of the Law Review, and collected a goodly stipend
by winning the coveted proficiency scholarship in my third year.
234 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
I had just recovered from the jolt of being dropped from a posi-
tion, of such importance to that of the least important thing in a
law office, when President Wilson sent me down to the Mexican
Border with the 7th Regiment, New York Infantry. His good
judgment was demonstrated by my rapid rise from the grade of
private to corporal without undue loss of life on either side. Af-
ter five months more of law I again got into the O. D's and at-
tended the first Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburgh.
I blush to repeat my war record which I feel will be well known
to every American school boy for decades. As I read the ac-
counts I marvel at it myself and wonder what would have hap-
pened if my first sergeant, who sent the report back to head-
quarters, had not been in the advertising business before he
joined the army.
Of course, the biggest thing I ever did was to marry the present
Mrs. Kenyon. Since July 2, 1919, the world has been a very
different place for me for more reasons than the Eighteenth
Amendment. And now we have a son and heir, a fact that makes
further interruptions of my chosen career inadvisable. I am a
member (the junior member) of the firm of Kenyon & Kenyon,
and I commute every day from Summit, but I wouldn't change
jobs with General Pershing.

After leaving the battle ground of Kelly Field I returned to
Chicago and resumed my duties with the foundry, and am at

242 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
THE first four years after graduation I spent in study and
teaching: 191 1 -191 2, I obtained my M. A. at Harvard;
1912-1913, I taught at the University of Vermont; 1913-1914,
passed my general examinations for Ph. D. (February) and
started to prepare for finals, specializing in public finance; and
1914-191 5, taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pitts-
burgh. I then turned to active economic investigation, spending
two years in the New York Bureau of Municipal Research, j
During this time I was employed in connection with the New ■
York City Central Purchasing Commission, the New York State
Senate Committee investigation of the Civil Service, and a study
of the New York City Budget system under the Mitchell ad-
ministration.
When the United States entered the War, I found that, in j
spite of Plattsburgh training (summer of 1916), deficient eye- '
sight disqualified me for active service. After joining for a
while in the promotion of the Patriotic Service League in New
York and Boston, and spending three or four months %vith the
New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce, I seized the first op-
portunity to go to Washington, with the U. S. Tariff Commis-
sion. Shortly after my arrival, however, the War Trade Board
requested my services and I entered the Bureau of Research as
special economist on the Central Powers. After the Armistice,
the State Department persuaded me to continue my work in the
office of the Foreign Trade Advisor, but in June 1919 I accepted
an attractive offer of the Mechanics and Metals National Bank,
where I am now located in charge of its Department of Foreign
Trade Extension.
Everyone has his pet regret. Mine is that in college I worked
my way through on scholarship instead of being satisfied with
Bs and Cs, spending more time in college activities, and earning
my way through drudgery and hard knocks — but real experience
(e. g., canvassing, etc.). Better to take more time, perhaps, but
build up a broad foundation of practical experience and valuable
friendships. Scholarship is only one factor out of several in the
secret of success.

acquaintance with the Great White Way. In the spring I was
married and went to Europe for a honeymoon which was spent in
walking through England in all of the out of the way spots we
could find. Returning in the fall we set up housekeeping in Cam-
bridge, where for the next two years I studied at the Episcopal
Theological School. On graduating I accepted a call to Grace
Church, Lawrence, and began my active ministry on the same
day as the great war. I served as assistant at Grace Church for
a year and a half in a parish that abounded in opportunities for
service and good w^ork and had great difficulty in pulling up my
tent pegs to move to St. Stephen's, Lynn. I entered my work as
Rector of St. Stephen's Church January i, 1916 and have stuck
to my post ever since. The parish situated in the center of the
city, in the midst of a great population of working people, offers
a most attractive piece of work and one which appeals to me
especially. This short "life" would be a long one if I should al-
low myself liberty to tell all I should like to. Suffice it to say
that in the meantime I have grown ten years older, lost most of
my hair and acquired a fine family.

in the Graduate School at Chicago University. Then I entered
on my duties at the Boston Latin School, where I am at present.
I was disqualified for war service various times, my eyesight not
being up to scratch. In the summer of 1917 I directed the West
End House War Camp, Belchertown, Massachusetts, where we
raised garden and field products. The venture was not a success,
as we lost most of our crop in a cold snap early in Septem-
ber 1917.
Being asked to take up French work, I pursued courses at the
Harvard Summer School, Boston University, and Middlebury
College. Last summer, 1919, I travelled in Europe, visiting
London briefly, and putting most of my time in Paris and sur-
roundings. I was enabled to visit the war zone.
I have asked for and obtained my Sabbatical year; this means
I shall again travel in Europe from July 1921 to August 1922.
Most of my time I intend to further my French at various uni-

AFTER leaving Cambridge I spent the following four years in
the Harvard Medical School. These were years of hard
work and had for their purpose the instillation of a little bit of
medical knowledge and the conviction that when you are gradu-
ated you are absolutely unfit to practice the profession you have
been learning. It was therefore quite natural for me as well
as for most of my fellow students to start learning the practice
of medicine in various hospitals. Having graduated in 1914, I
spent the next twenty-eight months in the Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital, Boston. Here I learned something about internal medi-
cine and put in a year in the study of heart disease. During this
time I developed a taste for the academic side of medicine and
medical investigation, and so was quite pleased when an opportu-
nity presented itself to continue work at the Rockefeller Hospital,
New York. I spent the following nine months there (November
1916 to July 1917) until I left for overseas.
In May 191 7 I joined the Medical Reserve Corps, received a
commission as First Lieutenant in June and left the United States
in July. When the authorities learned that I knew something
about heart disease they ordered me to the British Heart Hospital,
England, where I stayed until April 1918. I spent a most pleasant
time in England, learned to like the English people and to admire
their accomplishments very much. In addition to doing the
routine work in the wards of the Military Hospital, a research
laborator}^' was improvised in one of our kitchens and two of us
carried on some investigation of the diseases we were treating.
The results were published in "Heart", a British medical journal.
In April 1918 I went to France to join the American forces and
250 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
worked in various Base Hospitals and Camp Hospitals until June
1919. The work was not particularly interesting but very strenuous
(luring the big push (July to November). Most of my clinical work
concerned itself with the care of gassed patients, influenza, pneu-
monia and other infectious diseases. This was interrupted for a
short time when I was asked to standardize the heart drugs used
in the A. E. F. and to determine the proper dosage of some of
them. The work was done at Dijon, and was carried out on cats.
The bright spot in my army career was a seven day leave.
There were four of us in the party, all fed up with life in general,
and we remained A. W. O. L. for eighteen days. After visiting
some points of interest in France, we crossed the Mediterranean
to Africa and had all in all a most delightful trip.
The general impression I got of the medical care that our sol-
diers received was favorable. Considering the circumstances, we
had excellent medical supplies and good food for our patients
and our nurses were just wonderful. It was evident that many
mistakes were being made, both from an administrative and a
clinical point of view. But after all, the leaders of the army are
apt to regard the medical corps as a necessary- evil (perhaps they
are right) and do not believe that it is essential to co-operate
intimately with the medical profession. As in all branches of the
service, things were experimental at times, and developing and
improving. The sad thing is that our leading physicians who are
in a position to enable the medical service to benefit from this war
have all returned to private life and we shall probably make the
same blunders in the next war. I believe it is fair to say that
most of MS in the army thought that "the other fellow" had the
real job and yet we all feel that we did very little compared to
the men in the trenches.
I was discharged from service as Captain in July 19 19 and
thereupon entered a peculiar period of mental depression. The
ideals that so many of us had were not being realized. The world
was not made "Safe for Democracy". It seemed that all nations
in the world, including our own allies particularly, were at each
other's throats, wanting land here and concessions there, etc., etc.
However, in October 1919 I began to realize that it was nine
years since I left college and I had not as yet begun to earn a cent.
I therefore opened an office for the practice of medicine. Fortu-
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 251
nately I was made Associate in Medicine at the Peter Bent
Brigham Hospital, Boston, and Assistant in Medicine at the Har-
vard Medical School, and between the duties of these positions
and the few private patients who seek my help I have been ex-
tremely busy.

1918. I arrived in the United States in October 1919 and have
just spent a year in Lower California (Mexico), land of great
possibilities and not prohibition.
Have been rolling and have proved the proverb true. Believe
it almost time for another war, not so far from home this time.
Maddest man I saw in France was "Ham" Corbett, reserve
officer in a national guard outfit, and left for a short while as
Town Major of Baccarat. On the whole saw very few class-
mates in France, but take it for granted that they were there
and doing their jobs as usual.
Wish "Arthur" Beane or "Beany" Hornblower could write
some other specie of letter than Harvard Endowment Fund cries
for help.

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 271
I SPENT most of the period from June to November 1908 in
California travelling (when I had carfare) and doing various
and sundry sorts of labor (when out of funds). From November
1908 to February 1909 I worked as shipping clerk for the Stand-
ard Oil Company of New York at their East Boston station. En-
listed in the First Corps Cadets, Massachusetts National Guard,
January 28, 1909. In February 1909 I went on the road for the
Standard Oil Company as auditor. On April i, 1910, I took
charge of the Stoneham station as agent for Socony. On April
20, 191 1, I was promoted to special agent and assigned to the Cape
Cod field, with headquarters at Brockton.
During all the time since 1909 I had remained in the First
Corps Cadets, serving as private, corporal, sergeant and first
sergeant. I was serving in the latter capacity when we declared
war on Germany, and my organization was changed from In-
fantry to Engineers. Of course I went with them. Luckily I
was promoted successively to Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant
and finally to Captain, with which rank I was discharged. I
served in France with my regiment and also as instructor at the
First Corps Engineer School. I visited both the British and
French fronts as well as that occupied by our own troops, and
taken as a whole my service was both interesting and educational.
I was returned to the United States in September 191 8, when
I obtained my last promotion, and was placed on duty in the of-
fice of the Chief of Engineers, where my duties were revision of
manuals, editing an Engineer Bulletin, etc. I was fortunate
enough to secure my discharge shortly after the Armistice, and
returned to my former position, which had been held open for
me by the Standard Oil Company. I am still pushing Socony.

have left reforming my particular part of the world to others.
Of course, I haven't set the world on fire. No one expected
me to. But this edge of it has begun to smoke a little.

FROM 191 1 to 1912 attended Graduate School at Harvard,
Department of Education. From 1912 to 1914 taught
Science and Mathematics at Bacon Academy, Colchester, Con-
necticut. From 1914 to January 15, 1918 was at Melrose High
School, Melrose, Massachusetts, teaching Mathematics, and act-
ing as faculty manager of athletics.
January 16, 1918, reported at Camp Devens and assigned to
Depot Brigade. Here I remained, performing such important
and mentally arduous jobs as working on a garbage truck, dig-
ging trenches, standing guard, etc., imtil I was transferred to
Camp A. A. Humphreys, Virginia, on the 24th of April, 1918.
Camp Humphreys was the headquarters of the Engineers. I
was put to work in a Company office, as Company Clerk, being
made Corporal and then Sergeant. Later on, at the end of July,
1918, I was sent to the Engineers' Officers' Training School, first
going to Camp Lee, and then returning, with the whole school,
to Humphreys. Three months later I received my commission
as Second Lieutenant, Engineers, U. S. A. That was my title
officially, actually I was a mere "shavetail". I was assigned to
colored troops, Co. B, 553 Engineers Service Battalion, we had
our sealed orders to go "across", and then before we started the
Germans most inconsiderately decided to have an armistice.
Instead of going across, we had to help out the Ordnance people,
and my company went up to Baltimore, to the Curtis Bay General
Ordnance Depot. We had 239 colored boys, mainly from the
South, eleven white sergeants, a First Lieutenant, and a Cap-
tain. You notice I call it "my" company, that is because all the
company administration work fell to me, you wouldn't expect
a Captain or a First Lieutenant to do any work when there was
a "shavetail" around, would you? However, "it is a great life if
you don't weaken" ! Those colored boys were a good bunch to
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 279
work with, and I would much rather have had them than a lot
of white companies I saw. They had to find out just two things,
first that we officers were going to give them a square deal, and
second, that we were also going to see that they gave us a square
deal by doing the daily work assigned to them.
However, much as I liked my army work, I was mighty glad
when we finished up our work and when I received my discharge,
on April i8th, 1919.
After returning to Boston and getting back into civilian clothes
once more I began teaching on the fourth of May, 1919, in the
Girls' Latin School, Boston, Massachusetts. I was supposed to
teach mathematics, but ever since a year ago last Thanksgiving I
have been teaching Physics.

FOR the first two years after graduation I continued my studies
in Mathematics at Harvard, and instructed on half time in
the Division of Mathematics. The following two years, from
September, 1913, to August, 1915, were spent as Instructor of
Mathematics in the Literary College of the University of Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor.
The receipt of a Parker Fellowship from Harvard University
enabled me to sail for Italy in August 191 5 to continue my
mathematical studies under Professor Corrado Segre at the Uni-
versity of Turin, Italy. After a week in Naples, six weeks in
Rome, and one week in Florence, I arrived in Turin at the open-
ing of the academic year about the first of November 191 5, where
a very profitable winter was spent under the supervision of Pro-
fessor Segre, a most gracious teacher. Before returning home,
in June 1916, I enjoyed several weeks in Paris and Southwestern
France.
Again I held the position of instructor of mathematics at the
University of Michigan during the year 1916-1917, but in June
191 7, for financial reasons, was obliged to give up the pleasant
academic life for the more strenuous one of business. In Sep-
tember I became a partner with my father in the firm of Chas. N.
Miller Company, Manufacturing Confectioners, which he had
founded in the year 1885.
It was my privilege to assist our Alma Mater in the fall of
1918 to care for the war students by again teaching Mathematics
in Sever Hall.

MY LIFE since graduation has been an ordinary normal life,
out of the ordinary only in extraordinary share of hap-
piness that has been my lot since my marriage nearly two years
after leaving college.
In June, 191 1, I went to Duluth, Minnesota, with my brother
and mother, intending at that time to go into mining or engineer-
ing, but after a summer vacation devoted to fishing, hunting,
tennis and golf, I found that the East held a great lure for me
and I came back to Boston in October. I secured a lucrative job
cleaning inkwells in the banking house of William A. Read &
Company, which job I held down, with considerable damage to
clothes and carpets, for nine months, when I was turned loose on
the unsuspecting investment public as a security salesman. At
the end of nine months Jimmy Dean, (an old Harvard man and
former baseball captain and one of the biggest little men that ever
lived), the Boston partner, blasted my hopes of advancing to a
salary of seventy-five dollars a month by reminding me that I
had sold almost nothing, that my future as a bond salesman was
about as bright as an 183 1 cent, and that he would be very glad
to help me get ahead (with somebody else). He got me a job
with the American Felt Company (a subsidiary or contributary
or something of Willett, Sears & Company) which I stuck at for
five months. I had been meanwhile married (between jobs) on
April 12, 1913, and after a camping out honeymoon, my much
better half and I, began housekeeping at 22 Madison Avenue,
New (tonville).
In October I found that my health was being afifected by con-
stant indoor clerical work and about the middle of that month
I joined the Greene Advertising Agency of 530 Atlantic Avenue,
Boston, as a solicitor of advertising accounts. At the same time
our lease ran out in Newtonville, commuting was expensive and
irksome and after looking at several places, my wife and I found
a house at 20 Hilliard Street, Cambridge, in the Y. M. C. A.
Colony (Young Married Couples Association), near Apple Law-
rence and Charlie Story (whose wife is Jack Sweetser's sister).
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 287
The Greene Advertising Agency went out of existence in May
or June 1914, and liking the work, I nosed around until I found
a similar opening with the C. Brewer Smith Advertising Agency,
85 Devonshire Street, with which outfit I worked until called into
Federal Service in July, 191 7, building up slowly a fair business
that held promise of a better future.
During these years, my son was born (we had lost a daughter
born January 27, 1914, after three days' illness) on July 16, 1915,
and named after his father. We had spent the summer of 1914 at
Swampscott and the following wnnter, having sublet our house,
we boarded with a private family in Brookline. In the spring of
191 5 we returned to 20 Hilliard Street and remained there for
another year. In 1916 I was called to Mexican Border Service,
leaving my wife and boy at Swampscott again and serving during
the summer (June 26 to October 30th) at Camp Pershing, El
Paso, Texas.
After leaving Swampscott, the family moved to 47 Strathmore
Road, Brookline, where we spent that winter and in the spring of
191 7 we first rented the house where w^e now are, at 18 Hawthorn
Street, Cambridge.
When the United States declared war, new military organiza-
tions began to be authorized and having had some seven and a
half years of service in Battery A as private, corporal and ser-
geant, I was honored with a commission as First Lieutenant and
assigned to aid in recruiting, organizing, drilling and equipping
a new Battery to make up the First Massachusetts Field Artillery.
After some three months duty with the new Battery, I was offered
a Captaincy in the new 20th Regiment of Massachusetts Field
Artillery, which I accepted, receiving my commission and assign-
ment as Battalion Adjutant just four days prior to mobilization
of the National Guard on July 25, 191 7.
With the rest of the regiment, I was mobilized at the Artillery
Camp, Boxford, Massachusetts on July 25th and mustered into
Federal Service August 5th, at which time the 20th Regiment
became the 102nd Field Artillery, 51st F. A. Brigade, 26th
Division. The regiment left Boxford September 21st, arriving in
New York the following day and leaving Hoboken for "port
unknown" on September 23rd. We arrived in France October
5th, left Base Camp No. i at San Nazaire on October 17th for
288 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
a period of training at the famous old French camp at Cortquidan
in Brittany. There the three regiments of the brigade (loist,
I02nd, and 103rd) received fifteen weeks intensive training until
ordered to the front about February ist, 1918. The regiment
took part in active warface in the defensive sector of the Chemin-
des-Dames (until March 21, 1918) and sector Northwest of Toul
(April 3 to June 16, 1918). On the day we pulled out I received
my majority, was relieved of command of Battery F, that I had
held for a month, and assigned to command the ist battalion
(Batteries A, B and C). On July 7th we relieved the 20th Di-
vision at Chateau Thierry, fighting defensively until the 18th when
the big Aisne-Marne offensive started, through which the Artillery
Brigade stuck until the Aisne was reached on August 4th. Then
came relief and the only rest period the Division had between
February ist and the Armistice. After two weeks near Chatillon-
sur-Seine, we began a train and over-the-road march looking
forward to the St. Mihiel attack (about which we knew nothing
then) in which we did our part on September 12 and 13. After
the nipping of this salient, the division established a sector north
of St. Mihiel and stayed there till October 12th when we were
snaked out for a march into the woods near Verdun, where we
rested up a bit and scraped oflf mud until the 17th, when we went
in at the hinge of the big attack, where we stayed until the
Armistice.
After another winter in France, we were shipped home on
March 31, 1919, leaving Brest on the Mongolia and arriving in
Boston on the morning of April loth. I found my good family
waiting at the pier, got a glimpse of my home and made the ac-
quaintance of my new daughter on her first birthday, went to
Camp Devens and was mustered out of Federal Service there on
April 29, 1919.
I have spent perhaps an undue portion of my life on the war^
but I had two reasons in mind — first, it was a marvelous exper-
ience and the biggest event that could happen to any man (except
marriage) and second, because, while the majority of 191 1 men
were in the service, I know that comparatively few were in the
26th Division.
After leaving the army, I loafed hard for six weeks, though
spending considerable time in deciding upon a permanent life
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 289
job. After giving very careful consideration to a dozen different
openings, I decided that a house that offered investments suffi-
ciently fundamental to build up a record of thirty-seven years
without loss to any investor would afford an opportunity for per-
manent association and, being offered the position of associate
manager of the new Boston office of S. W. Straus & Company,
I finally accepted and am still there.
Again I say that my life contains little out of the ordinary; but
I have written at, possibly too much, length because the secretary
said my "life" was going to interest someone else. I know I
would like to hear as much, and more, about lots and lots of 191 1
men and as an old proverb says, "there is no accounting for
tastes," perhaps someone may find time and taste to masticate
the above.

AFTER leaving Harvard in June, 19 lo, after getting the long-
coveted Latin appendage to my perfectly good American
name, I spent the summer at home, attending to personal matters.
That fall, I returned to Boston for about three weeks but did
nothing unusually heroic. I went to Florida and spent the winter
and spring, working part of the time as a general office roustabout
with a civil engineering concern in Daytona, Florida. Here, also,
I did nothing for fame except to subtract a few thousand arith-
metical problems, make a considerable number of blueprints and
do some general scooting around according to my Boss's pleasure,
for what seemed to me the munificent remuneration of two dollars
per diem. They finally got tired of me and let me go, whereupon
I did a little amateur tinkering on my father's cottage, "messing
up" my own "eats" meanwhile. In both I was, sad to say, con-
siderable of a failure. I also attempted to clean house preparatory
to leaving said cottage in charge of some tenants ; the lady of said
tenants or renters softened her disapproval of my housewifery
enough to say that she didn't expect as much of me, a mere man,
as she would have done in the event that a woman had cleaned up.
That summer (1911) I spent for the most part in the Y. M.
C. A. camp at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, trying out the possibilities
of enlisting in "Y" work as a life career; in other words, I went
to school there to get an impression of the opportunities afforded
by the Y. M. C. A. to an A. B. with a heterogeneous assortment
of unassimilated and unapplied learning. They were merciful to
me, and I returned that same fall to spend a year at the then
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 291
Institute and Training School of Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciations and now Y. M. C. A. College (located both times and in
between at Chicago), hoping that this polysyllabled aggregation of
efficiency and splendid men would somehow get me into touch
with and in a measure prepare me for a certain amount of use-
fulness to some General or Educational secretary who should be
mad enough to employ me. I remained there till the summer of
19 1 2, when I again attended the summer camp at Lake Geneva
(which camp is no more nor less than the summer school of the
aforesaid polysyllabic agglomeration.) Here I was once more
well received, but finally was told politely but plainly that I be-
longed in the work. I proceeded to cast baited lines forthwith,
and, as I contemplated a trip to the West Coast, applied to three
Associations in as many cities there. I had a delightful trip west
through the Canadian Rockies ; arriving at Portland via. Van-
couver and Seattle. I looked up the local Educational Secretary,
who offered me a job at forty dollars a month and find your meals
and clothes. I accepted, and to this day regret my rashness not
at all, for in the five years (from September, 1912 to June, 191 7)
during which I held forth and illuminated that Y. M. C. A. school
I gained much experience and other wisdom and apparently hyp-
notized my Boss and a number of students into the idea that I
had been to Harvard and contracted a mild case of learning. My
Boss is still under the delusion. Except for a few months in the
summer of 19 14, into which I will not go, I served almost con-
tinuously in the Portland "Y" during the period mentioned. At
last, pulling up stakes again, I migrated to northeastern Wash-
ington, taught a district school there with uncanny results, ac-
cepted Uncle Sam's urgent invitation to join his German-potting
bee, acquired during my six months of service as buck private
a large respect for Uncle's efficiency and for the thorough atten-
tion he gave me in many ways, as well as a gratitude not felt
hitherto for the privilege of having had a part in that vast enter-
prise which ended November 11, 1918.
Almost immediately after my discharge from the army, I re-
turned east, and after a summer (1919) spent at the arduous job
of doing nothing I decided, after a somewhat lively scene with a
friend who had set her heart on my doing so, to return to Harvard
for a year of postgraduate work, with the Master's degree looming
292 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
in the horizon as an inducement. From September, 1919 to
August, 1920, I resided continuously in Cambridge (except for a
trip to Maine in June of 1920) and pursued the elusive A. M.
Not a little to my surprise, the game finally consented to be
bagged, and partly on the strength of its possession, partly on
sheer nerve (perhaps incidentally on the strength of a few testi-
monials as to my generally hopeless character), I succeeded in
bringing down the position I now hold.
So far, this has been about the pleasantest experience of my life,
as I have finally managed to get into a financially gainful occupa-
tion which is congenial and where, except for a few hours on six
days a week, I am practically master of my own time. But this
section of my life-history would best be left for another chapter,
when I am ten vears older.

IN May 1912, 1 accepted an invitation from James D. Dole ('99)
to work for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, Ltd., of Hono-
lulu. This step was the result of a sequence of letters resulting
from an attempt I had made as one of the editors of "The Harvard
Illustrated Magazine" to secure from Harvard men in various
parts of the world, statements of the work they were doing and
of opportunities for other Harvard men in their communities. As

the hero of my youth, "Jim" Dole has now become one of the
best friends I have; and to him I owe in great part the fullness
and happiness of my life.
In April 1918, I began to live! In the splendor of Honolulu
Miss Rosamond Swanzy and I were married. The war was upon
us, and in May I enlisted in the 2d Infantry at Fort Shafter,
Oahu, Hawaii. After three months in the 4th O. T. S. I was
commissioned a second lieutenant of infantry and was ordered
to Camp Grant, Illinois. Here, as a result of college prowess
with the lacrosse stick (?) I became a bayonet instructor and
taught many a farmer lad how to toss hay with a rifle. Here's
hoping Harvard encourages lacrosse !
Mrs. Morgan had accompanied me to Chicago and there, on
March 19, 1919, we met the young man, Francis, who about 1936
will follow his father at Cambridge.
On my return to Honolulu I joined the firm of Theo. H. Davies
& Company, Ltd., sugar factors and merchants. I am also presi-
dent of the corporation controlling the Auto Service & Supply
Company, Ltd., and the Graystone Garage of Honolulu.

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 301
DURING 191 1 I obtained a leave of absence from the college
and spent that year as my first one at the medical school. I
left there in the spring of 1914 to go to the Boston City Hospital
where I was until January 1916, with the exception of a few
months off between services. I had both Medical and Genito-
urinary services there. Leaving there I went to the Augustana
Hospital in Chicago where I remained as a Surgical Interne under
Dr. Ochsner for the whole of that year. In January 191 7 I left
there to become the assistant of Dr. C. H. Frazier of Philadelphia,
with whom I remained until July when I obtained my commission
as First Lieutenant, M. C. Following this I was moved from
camp to camp in the army including Fort Oglethorpe, Spartan-
burg with the 27th Division, Government surgical courses at
Philadelphia and New York and then to Camp Wheeler at Macon,
Georgia. At this last named place I was attached as adjutant,
detachment C. O., and brain surgeon to Base Hospital No. 51,
with which organisation I sailed from New York on the S. S.
Olympic in the early part of August 1918, going to Toul, Meuthe
et Moselle, by way of Southhampton, Cherbourg, Rimacourt. Here
we organized as an Evacuation Hospital and received patients
directly from the first aid stations during the St. Mihiel show.
During this time I also did duty with Evacuation Hospitals i and
3 in charge of a surgical team. At the end of September I came
down with pneumonia and what with that and a sick leave on the
Riviera I did not get back on duty until November 12, 1918. In
December, 1918, I was given two A. E. F. ambulances and the op-
portunity to use other French and English cars and sent to Stras-
bourg, Alsace, attached as American Medical Mission for Re-
patriating American Prisoners of War from Germany to the staff
of the Fourth French Army under the command of General Gou-
raud. I remained on this duty for three months, about 700 Am-
ericans having passed through my hands on their way out of
Germany. During this time I made several trips into Germany
reaching Ulm on the Danube once and spending several days and
nights at Stuttgart rounding up severely wounded prisoners. Re-
lieved from this in March 1919, I returned to Base Hospital 51
and came back with them in May, landing in New York in June
1919, and being discharged at Camp Dix on the ninth of that
month. Since then I have opened an office in Boston for the

time in France and consider that it was a very good war in spite
of the army.

ON leaving college I did not leave Cambridge, but hung around
and managed to become a legal, though graduate, member
of the 1911-1912 Soccer team, making me wish I had sat up and
taken notice earlier, so much benefit did I derive from this ex-
perience. I tried to play again the next year, but the ruling on
graduates was made more strict, so I was obliged to apply my-
self strictly to research, working under Professor Graton on his
"Secondary Enrichment Investigation" (with a view towards
primary or personal "enrichment"), and ultimately annexing a
degree in Economic Geology.
Then by a twist of circumstances I arrived in the candy busi-
ness as a co-manufacturer of extra good chocolates, with Russell
& Company, in Cambridge, where I have been since the summer
of 1915.

T THE outbreak of the war I was past forty-six years of age
and they refused to consider me for military training. I
wanted very much to get into the service. They did permit me
A
304 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
to engage actively in the propaganda to overcome the pro-German,
pacifist, etc., tendencies, and I worked during the entire war under
the auspices of the National Security League, American Defense
Society, Mayor's Committee on National Defense, Four Minute
Men, Minute Men of America, War Camp Community Service,
British and Canadian Headquarters, etc., as a volunteer speaker.
I traveled through the northwest and spoke in Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and
Missouri ; also in the environs of New York, in the city itself, in
Vermont and New Jersey, and out in Long Island. I helped in
every movement to enlist men for the Navy, U. S. Army, British
Army, Canadian Army, the Anzacs, for David's Legion, for
France, etc., among our residents. I made between 1500 and 2000
such addresses, received no compensation, and paid my own ex-
penses as my contribution to the war. I greatly regret I was born
in that age strata that left me outside the military demands.
I am at this time entitled to my B. Sc. degree if I will accept
it, but I have to qualify in an examination in one ancient language
to get my A. B. as of 191 1. I shall take this examination one of
these days when I have the necessary leisure time to devote to it.
I have had to keep hustling ever since I left Harvard in 1912 to
make a living and get my feet in the sand. Now I have to hustle
in the same way to keep things running in such a manner as not
to collide with each other.

PASSED off all the courses I needed at mid-years 191 1, so I went
abroad with Hanford MacNider. Returned in the fall of
191 1 and entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Left there after two years on account of my father's death, and
having passed my State Bar examinations, started to practice law
in Philadelphia. Early in 1914, however, I moved to New York
and went into the oil and general export and import business there.
The company's principal interests were in Mexico, and after a
visit there, it was soon clearly seen that since our own State De-
partment had disowned Americans who had been foolhardy
enough to invest money in Mexico, we stood to lose. Our expec-
tations were realized.
After the declaration of war against Germany I entered the
Harvard R. O. T. C. under the French Commission, and from
there was ordered to Fort Oglethrope, from there to Columbia,
South Carolina, and then to Camp Hancock, Georgia, with the
Aviation Section, Signal Corps, and went overseas with them in
February 1918. After a short stay at the Aviation Training
Center at Issodun, where I ran the railroad and was Assistant
Machine Gun Instructor, in April my application to be returned
to the line was granted, and I joined the 4th Machine Gun Bat-
talion, 2nd Division, as second in command of Company A. Took
command of the company on June 14th, as the Company Com-
mander became a casualty, and remained in command until after
Blanc Mont Ridge, October 14th, when I was ordered back to
the United States as a machine gun instructor, arriving the week

the armistice was signed. Hung around in this country until
December 21st when I finally got myself ordered into inactive
duty with the reserve.
In March 1919 moved to Baltimore as I had obtained a job
with the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company there. In
July 1920 returned to Philadelphia as Assistant Manager of the
new branch office for Eastern Pennsylvania established in Phil-
adelphia at that time.
As to my opinion of the Service, it's a great thing, for the
coming generation. Personally in the next war I am rather
undecided whether to go into the Ordnance or the Quartermaster
Corps, and am rather favoring the latter.

hold a public office in town or state affairs although I have been

IN THE autumn of 1910 I went to Trinity College, Cambridge,
where I found more time to study rowing than anything else
and managed to get on the college crew which went "Head of
the River" that year. I spent the two academic years of 191 1-
1912-1913 in the Philippine Islands teaching in Bishop Brent's
school for American boys and travelling during vacations through
China, Japan and the Islands themselves, but returned in 191 3 for
three years at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, where I prepared for the ministry. In May 1916
I was ordained Deacon and went in July to be curate of Grace
Church, Lawrence, where I suceeded W. A. Lawrence, 1911.
After ten months here I was ordained Priest and went in May
191 7 to France as Red Cross Chaplain of U. S. Base Hospital
No. 5 (Peter Bent Brigham Unit) serving with them in the
B. E. F. at Dannes, Camieres and later at Boulogne for sixteen
months. In October 1918 I received a commission as Chaplain in
the U. S. Army and joined my regiment (102nd F. A.) northeast
of Verdun. I returned with the Division and was discharged
with them at Camp Devens, taking up my pre-war work again
at once in Lawrence. In April 1920 I was elected Rector of the
church and am working at present in that capacity. I am Chaplain
of the local post of the American Legion.

FOR five years after graduation I drifted from one line of
businesss to another, all the time avoiding starting at the
bottom of the ladder because of the erroneous belief that a college
graduate knew too much to make it necessary for him to begin
at the bottom. Repeated failures showed me the error of my
ways and I finally secured a position which gave me an oppor-
tunity to learn one of the branches of foreign trade. After a
short time thanks to the man I worked under and also to the
favorable conditions of trade at the time, I was enabled to enter
on my own account into a business which has proved both inter-
esting and profitable.
In connection with my affairs I had the pleasure of visiting
the principal cities of France, Italy and Greece and also the cities
and pyramids of Egypt.

HAVING settled upon the ministry as my future calling, I
commenced to study for it at the General Theological
Seminary in New York City in the fall of 1911, and I spent one
year at that institution. Six weeks after the next year's work
began I decided to try out my vocation before longer continuing
and therefore in November 1912 I left the Seminary to teach
school. One year at this seemed to "settle" me, but it gave me
great experience, that of "putting things over" or "getting things
across." Anyone at all who has been a teacher realizes this as
the greatest asset. Well, in 1914-15 I studied at the Episcopal
Theological School on Brattle Street, Cambridge; and finished up
the following year, 1916, where I began at the General Seminary,
New York City.
Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts ordained me to the Diaco-
nate in June 1916; and Bishop Babcock, the Suffragan-Bishop of
Massachusetts, advanced me to the priesthood in June 191 7. From
November 1916 to December 191 7 I was a curate at the Church
of the Ascension, Fall River, Massachusetts, assisting the Rev.
Charles E. Jackson than whom, may I say here, I have never met
a more courteous or more gracious gentleman.
December loth, 191 7, I enlisted in the Navy, the Reserve Force,,
as Seaman 2nd Class for radio training; and shortly after the
first of the new year I was sent to Newport, Rhode Island, to the
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 333
Naval Training Station, Coaster Harbour's Island, the "Island"
so-called. My purpose was to get a real taste of sea life. I can-
not remember when the sea and the ships did not simply fascinate
me. My patriotic move was surely tinctured with something not
exactly patriotic, but yet compelling. But I did not see the sea,
except at a distance ; and the only ship I sailed on was the "Inca",
the government ferryboat that competed with the electrics in trans-
porting "gobs" to Newport, a mile away. For after finishing my
training for radio, my services were practically requisitioned by
Chaplain Wm. G. Cassard, one of my own Church-faith, the
Chaplain at the Station, and I was transferred to his department
(instead of being sent to Harvard to gain greater perfection in
"receiving" and "sending" prior to being assigned to some berth
on a real "sea-goin' ship") to assist him on Sundays and tend
the Library week-days. But, perhaps it was all right, for my
future lifework has gained from this practical experience in this
kind of war-work. I mean the practice of preaching to two
thousand men and youths, the work at the hospital during the
terrible weeks of the "flu", the general contact with practical and
well-meaning, though sometimes strangely spoken fellows. And,
so, although I have not had sea-experience, I can yet have it;
but I have had something more vital. I am still on the
books of the Navy Department, I shall not be discharged till
December 1921.
While still wearing a flat-hat and "bell-bottoms" I became
priest-in-charge of Emmanuel, Braintree, Massachusetts, April
1919. I am in a beautiful suburb of Boston, two miles south of
Quincy, and at the very edge of the country. I am not married,
and I cannot give any promises when I shall be.

The Service was an interruption which had one bright spot
for me in being a member of the Fifth Co. Central Officers'
Training Camp at Camp Lee, Virginia, not the climate in the
summer of 1918, but the quality of the leadership furnished us
and the personnel of the Company.
However, when all is said and done about the service, let me
say, "May we live happily ever after."

INSTEAD of returning to Harvard after my freshman year I
attended the New York School of Fine and Applied Art for
a two years' course of interior decoration and architecture. This
I completed and was employed in the designing room of W. & J.
Sloane of New York City. After a short period it became neces-
sary for me to associate myself with my father in the cotton goods
business, which business I inherited and remained in until I en-
listed in the Navy in the commissar^' end, this being what I con-
sidered I could do the best. I became interested in the food
business, so started out for myself in this line after my release
from active service in the Navy.

FOR two years following graduation I was in Puerto Rico where
I was engaged in normal and secondary school work. Here
I acquired a still-lingering lure of the tropics and a profound
realization of the futility of imperialistic expansion of the United
States. One year in Great Barrington in the Berkshire region of
Massachusetts and four years in the Boston school system brought
me up to the time of enlistment in service.
While in service I got out of my experience as a by-product an
intimate acquaintance with the mythical nature of "military dis-
cipline," the misery of submission to inferior superiors, and the
frightfully folly of unsuccessful demobilization.
From March to July of 191 8 I was a student, an assistant, and
gave one lecture, in the Sorbonne, University of Paris. Here I
learned the charm of the undying fire of intellectual France and
enjoyed a social experience the delight of which I can hardly hope
ever to be surpassed.
Now I am re-engaged in the important, if inglorious, vocation
of educating the cosmopolitan influx of urban population in the
Boston schools.
My hobby is genealogical research and colonial history in
general and my avocation is the writing of verse that does not
get published.

AFTER we finished at Harvard, I put three years on Law
And practised here in Boston till Mexico asked for war.
South with the Guard I went, and rode the Texas plain,
And the dust was still in my breeches when the call went out again.
Plattsburgh made me a shavetail in Field Artillery
And we froze eight months at Devens before we could get to sea.
338 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
We learned the Seventy-fives at Camp de Souge, Bordeaux,
But all front seats were taken ; we came too late for the show.
Seventeen days (and Christmas) we slept in the mud at Brest,
But the next month saw us discharged, and wandering home to
rest.
The Law looked kind of dusty to start all over again
So I joined the Federal Board for training disabled men.
I worked in Atlanta, Georgia, while the North was deep in snow.
And a couple of months in New York, but I'm back in Boston now
Still drawing the Government checks, and finding things not so
bad.
And helping police the debris of the grand old war we had.

AFTER receiving my degree in June 191 1 I attended Harvard
Law School for one year. Thereafter I continued the study
of law in Indianapolis and served as clerk of the various trial
courts of Marion County from September 1912 until February
I, 191 5. Since then I have practised law in Indianapolis with the
exception of a brief interlude in the fall of 1918 when I attended
the Field Artillery Central Officers' Training School at Camp
Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. My war service record is literally
nothing at all. Nothing to boast of; nothing to be ashamed of.
I was in no engagements, except the Great Battle of the "Flu"
from which I emerged unscathed. I left the Service in rather
better physical condition than I entered.
I have been married seven years and have three children, one
of whom I trust will one day be a member of the Class of 1941
and on that occasion help me to celebrate our thirtieth reunion.

SINCE leaving college have had various experiences. Began by
working from 191 1 to 1913 in office of McKim, Mead &
White. In January 1914 went to Rome and studied in studios
there until July when, conditions in Europe being ominous, I
joined my family in Germany about a week and a half before
the declaration of war by Germany. On a state of war being
declared, we made a forced run by motor of nineteen hours and
succeeded in getting over the Dutch frontier and thence to London.
On return to New York took a place as Secretary to Judge
Hoyt, Presiding Justice of the New York Children's Court, and
a year after became Executive Secretary of Catholic Big Brothers

and I left this in May 191 7 to join the U. S. Naval Reserve Force.

ordered to the destroyer Stevens, then building at Fore River
Ship Yard, and on her completion in April I served in her in
European waters up to the time I was detached.
Owing to the death of my father I secured my return to the
United States December 28, 1918 and my discharge from the
service in February 1919.
In June I was married and I am now at a job promoting hydro-
electric plants.

(Bus.) 301 W. 72nd St., New York, N. Y.
I LEFT Harvard in the Junior year, but owing to illness as a
Sophomore I had not finished Sophomore year's work. Worked
at various things, including a job as mechanic in the Simms
Magneto Company, New York, till October 191 1. Then I entered
New York University, and, being old enough to have a bit of
sense, got what I hadn't sense enough to get at Harvard. My
college life was a success at N. Y. U. — I was in many activities, in-
cluding the college papers and musical clubs, was orator for
Founders' Day 1913, and became permanent librarian for my
class, N. Y. U. '14. Also, I made Phi Beta Kappa, and was
assistant in biology in my senior year.
Failing to land as good a job as I wanted, in college teaching,
I went up to Cornell in September 1914, on borrowed money, and
took my degree of M. A. there in biological subjects in 191 5.
The "wander-lust" seized me, and late in 191 5 I signed up to
go to a teaching position in South Africa. February 11, 1916, I
started as instructor in Nature Study at the Amanzimtoti Insti-
tute Training College, Natal, South Africa. After tw^o years
there I went to the Nuttall Training College, also in Natal, as
346 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
headmaster (vice-principal). One year there was enough; I was
tired of overwork. 1 entered the service of the Natal Education
Department, teaching eighth grade in their schools in the city of
Durban. Last year I had a big row, for punching the head of
an insulting pupil. I resigned last October, and with my wife
came back to New York. In February of this year I landed a
position as Science Instructor in the Clark School for Concentra-
tion, in this city.
While I was in Africa I did a lot of entomological work, and
became the recognized expert on South African dragonflies. I
worked up the collections of this group in the museums at Durban,
Pietermavitzburg, Pretoria (in part only) and Kingwilliamstown,
in South Africa.
I expect to stay here for three or four years, until I take my
Ph. D. degree, for which I am studying "in teaspoon fuls" at New
York University. Then probably back to Africa for five years
or so.
On the day I landed in Natal (February ii, 1916), I met a
young lady, also of the staff of the Amanzimtoti Institute, who
became Mrs. Rich in January 1920.
Hobbies: Dragonflies and stamp collecting; Politics — socialist;
Church— Unitarian, but attend Presbyterian.

DURING the vacation after my Freshman year I worked as a
longshoreman handling bananas at the v^harf of the United
Fruit Company in Boston. The following summer I returned
there and worked part of each week as special assistant to the
Manager. In August 1909 conditions were such that it appeared
impossible for me to return to Harvard and I obtained a steady
position with the Boston Division of the United Fruit Company
at Long Wharf. I am with them there today. My work has
naturally increased and I am now in the position of Assistant to
the Manager and have charge of the sale and distribution of all
banana cargoes coming to this Division.
My experiences with the Company have been varied and include
two trips to tropical countries, viz, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia
and Jamaica. In 191 2 I married a Smith College girl and have
lived happily ever since. I have two fine sons, one almost five and
the other almost two years old. The older shows tendencies
toward track and studies while the younger will doubtless make
the football team and the boxing team.
During the war I, in common with all men in my position, made
the best of not taking an active part and worked hard on all of
the many drives.

IN THE Autumn following graduation I obtained a position as
general utility boy for E. A. Shaw & Company, at which useful
work I was engaged for a year. They then gave me an oppor-
tunity to manage their Fall River agency which was an interesting
experiment. I liked it so well that in less than two years I risked
matrimony and have been happy ever since. My wife and three
children are the principal contributors to this condition of affairs.
My war record is nil. I was a member of the Massachusetts
State Guard during its first year. Possessing universally de-
fective eyesight, the influence and efforts of classmates availed
nothing in placing me in active service. I decided that to have
accepted an offer from the Ordnance Library at Washington
w^ould have been more ignominious than attending to my daily
occupation.
My list of books and plays written since graduation is herewith
postponed to an indefinite future date. However, I have, for the
past two years been specializing on Diurnal Lepidoptera in col-
laboration with an Eli 'i2. This is a most interesting occupation
for active business men. One can make rapid progress in this
subject and get a scratch rating much more easily, I believe, than
in golf. There is practically no competition. We do our own
handicapping.
My daily occupation keeps me constantly active. This con-
sists in tracking the wily mill treasurer to his lair. I find it ever
a source of pleasure although it does not, perhaps, lead to paths
of glory or vast riches.

HAVING with more or less malice aforethoug'ht taken courses
in college which had no relationship with the making of
money and being rather anxious to acquire as much as possible
of this with the least possible effort, I served for three years in an
accounting house owned by Britishers in an attempt to learn
knowledge of business from study of records of business, hand
writing, and careful regard for detail, which training is so sadly
neglected in our institutions of learning.
In 191 5 I formed a partnership for the general practice of
public accounting.
In 1916 I held a position of assistant to the treasurer of Mer-
cantile Stores Corporation, an organization operating twenty-
seven department stores under a trust agreement, the outcome of
the Claflin receivership. In 19 16 I served six months on the
Mexican Border with Squadron A, New York Cavalry,
N. G. U. S.
In 191 7 I was appointed auditor of Union Pacific Tea Company
which had a chain of two hundred grocery stores. In 19 17 I
joined the American International Corporation, and have been
with it ever since, recently occupying the position of Treasurer of
one of the subsidiary companies, International Steel Corporation.
At the time of writing I have just returned from a trip to China
and Japan where the great opportunity for Americans in foreign
trade and the pitiful way in which many are attempting to enter
it is very obvious.
At the moment I have a great admiration, respect and loathing
for New York, and a hankering for foreign parts where I expect
to enjoy meeting and playing with a far greater number of class-
mates than it is possible to meet and play with here.

UPON graduating in 191 1 I began my business career as student
in the school conducted by the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company for the training of young men for adminis-
trative positions in the company. Upon completion of the course
I accepted the position of assistant executive clerk and served in
a secretarial capacity to the officials in the company. After hav-
ing served in this capacity for nine months I resigned in February
1 91 8 to accept a position as auditor and accountant in the Boston
office of Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Company.
At the outbreak of the World War the United States Govern-
ment canvassed the principal colleges in the east for men young
enough to accept the modest salary which the Government pays
its employees and yet sufficiently trained and equipped to carry
out the program as outlined by the United States Bureau of Ef-
ficiency in its efforts to systematize and coordinate the various
departments of the (jovernment.
After a consultation with Mr. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the
U. S. Bureau of Efficiency, I was offered the position of auditor
and investigator of office methods and procedure, which position
I accepted in June 1917.
378 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
The Bureau then completed its uniform system of accounts for
the Indian Service after a lengthy investigation of the conditions,
personnel and requirements of the Department of the Interior,
and the members of the Bureau were assigned to various portions
of the United States where Indian agencies, schools and offices
were located.
After having been in Washington for two weeks or sufficient
time to acquaint myself with the system I was assigned to the
territory embracing North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Ne-
braska, and Oklahoma, and travelled from one Indian Reservation
to another installing the system as prepared by the Bureau of
Efficiency for the Department of the Interior. This work covered
a period of six months.
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance had been created in the
meantime and the Bureau of Efficiency was requested by the
Secretary of the Treasury to assist in its organization and opera-
tion. As a result some of the members were recalled from the
field and placed in charge of the various Divisions of the Bureau
acting in an advisory capacity to the Director of the War Risk
Bureau and the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. The chief
clerk's office was my assignment and my chief concern there was
the proper handling, assignment and disposition of 100,000 pieces
of correspondence a week. At the end of a year the Bureau of
Efficiency was relieved of this work and the growth and demand
of the Income Tax unit for auditors ofifered better opportunities
for advancement. On March 18, 1919, I commenced work in the
Income Tax Unit, Internal Revenue Bureau as an auditor. After
the first week I was appointed chief of the administrative section
of the Technical Division of the Income Tax Unit and was re-
sponsible for the production of the Technical Division. I was
soon after appointed Executive Assistant to the Head of the
Technical Division being executive head of the Division. In
September 1919 the Advisory Tax Board was abolished and upon
urgent solicitation by the tax payers the Committee on appeals
and Review was created, it being a body of men trained in income
tax matters to serve in an advisory capacity to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue on all difficult and complex matters pertaining
to income, excess profits and war profit taxes and a final court of
appeal for tax payers when alleged injustice has been done by the

Occupation: Architect.
Address: 42 Chestnut St., Salem, Mass.
IN the summer of 191 1 I took a bicycle trip through England,
Holland, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Belgium, re-
turning late in the fall to take up the work of an architectural
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 381
draughtsman with the firm of Kilham & Hopkins of 9 Park
Street, Boston.
The next three years were busy ones, devoted to the routine
of office work necessary to the young architect, and to private
jobs done in time outside the office.
In July 1914 being in need of a vacation after three pretty
strenuous years, I set out for Europe with my father. Half way
across we received news of the Salem fire, and of course returned
on the next boat, the "Lusitania," as it happened, to find our home
safe and the Naumkeag Mills in which my father was interested
burned to the ground.
I had been made a partner in the firm of Kilham and Hopkins
before my departure in July and on my return the new association,
was officially announced.
Since that time my career has been very varied. There were
two years of very hard work and a third one when architects
began to feel the war, and our entry into the conflict became
more and more certain.
In the spring of 1917 I signed on with the American Field
Service, and was called in August. I sailed early in September
on the "Rochambeau" and after a short time with the Field
Service was transferred to the American Red Cross where my
construction work took me to the corner of Belgium which was
never occupied by the Germans.
I lived in and about La Panne, and Nieuport Bains for between
six and seven months, and carried out a good deal of construction
work, mostly of the barrack type. The job was particularly in-
teresting as I worked with Belgian troops and constantly came
in contact with English, Colonial and French regiments.
I had applied for a commission in the Engineers, but in March
1 91 8 I was given the rank of a First Lieutenant in the Sanitary
Corps, and put in the Hospital Construction Department under
the chief surgeon. My knowledge of French led to my being put
in charge of the "etats de lieux" — the work of getting up a com-
plete and detailed architectural discription of property which we
rented or requisitioned : — to which was added the making of
necessary preparations for the reception of our hospital personnel.
This continued until the armistice, after which I was put in
charge of the settlement of claims for damage done to the build-
382 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
ings we had occupied, particularly in the great pleasure resorts
of France. The work was difficult and long, and held me in the
army until December 17, 1919, when I was demobilized in France,
holding the rank of Captain at the time.
Since then I have been travelling and studying in Europe for
over a year. I returned to this country on January 20, 1921, and
at the present writing (February i, 1921) am making my prep-
arations to start in independently to practice architecture with
offices in Boston.

>h EDWARD CARTER SORTWELL
EDWARD Carter Sortwell was the son of Alvin F. and Ger-
trude W. Sortwell and was born at Cambridge, March 25,
1889. His father was at one time Mayor of Cambridge. He
prepared for Harvard at St. Paul's School, but left college after
three years on his father's death. He was in the employ of the
Ludlow Manufacturing Associates in Calcutta, India, for three
years. In May 1916 he was returning to the United States but
while in Paris joined the American Ambulance Service and served
with Section 8 in the Champagne and at Verdun. Later he
volunteered to go with Section 3 to Saloniki. On November 11,
1916, while crossing a darkened street in Saloniki, he was struck
by a motor truck and died twenty-four hours afterwards from his
injuries. He was buried in the Allies Cemetery at Zeitenlik
where tribute was paid him by a large number of French officers
of the Automobile Service, the American Vice-Consul and the
men of his own Section. He was the first Harvard man to give
his life in this branch of the service.
A. Piatt Andrew, Director of the American Field Service,
wrote of him,
"He has left in the memory of all who were associated with him
a fine record of arduous and in many cases dangerous work, eagerly
and courageously performed; an example of manly endurance in the
performance of duty which will not be forgotten. He was always
ready for whatever task was assigned to him. He never hesitated
and never shirked before a dangerous mission."

School: Hudson High School, Hudson, Mass.
Degrees: S. B. 1911.
War Service: Enlisted March 12, 1918, Seaman, 2nd class, U. S. N. R. F.
Discharged May 21, 1919, Ensign, U. S. N.
Occupation: Mechanical Engineer.
Address: 11 Cherry St., Hudson, Mass.
THE summer following graduation I spent at the Engineering
Camp at Squam Lake, where I was a special assistant to
Professor I. N. Hollis. In the Fall of 191 1 I returned to Cam-
bridge and registered in the Graduate School of Applied Science,
388 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
and spent the academic year in research and experimental work,
chiefly on power-plant problems. During the same time, I held an
assistantship in mechanical engineering.
In July, 1912, I entered the employ of the Griscom-Russeil
Company of New York, manufacturers of power-plant machinery,
as an apprentice engineer. After a short course of sprouts in
their Jersey City shops, I was sent to Massillon, Ohio, where my
employers had purchased the plant of the Russell Engine Com-
pany. I remained there for six months, first as a foreman on
factor)' construction, and later in charge of tool-room and stock
inventory. In February, 1913, I returned to the New York office,
and for six months travelled extensively through the West, South
and Canada in connection with the sale, construction and accep-
tance of refuse-disposal systems for municipalities. I was next
appointed assistant officer-manager, and after that, advertising
manager, which position I held until May, 1914, when I was sent
to Cleveland to open a branch sales office.
In September, 19 14, I resigned my position to enter the em-
ploy of Schutte & Koerting Company, of Philadelphia, manu-
facturers of marine and stationary power-plant equipment, I
spent three months at their main office and shops in Philadelphia,
principally engaged in machine design, and in January, 191 5, was
sent to Boston as sales-representative and engineer (marine de-
partment) for New England. I remained in this position for three
years, and my most important work was in the development of
auxilliary machinery for the General Electric Company, and
engine-room equipment for naval construction contracted for,
under the 1916 naval program, by the Fore River Shipbuilding
Corporation, and the Electric Boat Company.
In January, 1918, I went to Philadelphia, and until March
was engineer-in-charge of the company's testing plant, at Corn-
wells, Pennsylvania. In March, 1918, I resigned my position to
enter service. A major operation, undergone the previous summer,
had left me unacceptable physically until this date. On March
12, 191 8, I enlisted in the Naval Reserve Force at Boston, as a
second class seaman, which, due to my lack of knowledge of "the
ropes" (no pun intended!), seemed all I could get at the start.
I was first assigned to the office of the Naval Constructor, at the
Charlestown Navy Yard, on ship repair superintendence. As I
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 389
couldn't get anywhere on that job with a gob's uniform on, I
was kicked upstairs to be chief machinist's mate. In May, 1918,
I was one of seventy-two selected by competitive examination
from a field of about four hundred from the First Naval District
to enter the Fourth Reserve Officers' Class at the U. S. Naval
Academy. I was commissioned as Ensign, R. F., before going to
Annapolis. On June 11, the class began, and the next sixteen
weeks were the busiest I ever put in. I was in the engineer-
officers' section, and our work consisted of marine and electrical
engineering, infantr)' drill, boat drill, rifle-range and a little ord-
nance and gunnery. On the whole, and particularly in comparison
with what I hear the routine was in the Army training schools,
we were treated quite handsomely. September 18, 1918, I was
disdiarged from the Reserv^e Force, and given a temporary com-
mission in the regular Navy. I was then assigned to the U. S. S.
Mercury (16,000 tons, 7,000 H. P.) as Assistant Engineer Officer.
The Mercury, which was formerly the "Norddeutscherlloyd
Schnelldampfer Barbarossa," was in the transport service, plying
from Newport News. I made three trips across, seeing only
Brest, St. Nazaire and Nantes, and found the service intensely
interesting. On my first trip, we picked up the S. O. S. from
the torpedoed "Lucia" (the famous "unsinkable ship"), on her
maiden trip, and one of our escorting destroyers rescued her
survivors. On my second trip we ran into extremely heavy
weather, and I saw everything which I had ever read of disasters
at sea, short of actual shipwreck ! In January, 1919, I was de-
tached from the Mercury and transferred to the Receiving Ship
at Norfolk for temporary duty. After staying there for two
months, I was ordered to Boston, where my resignation of my
commission was accepted May 21, 1919. In August, 1919, I
entered the employ of the Atlantic Refining Company of Phila-
delphia as a sales-engineer on fuel and other industrial oils. I
did not find my work congenial, and was not greatly sorrowed
when recession in the oil market impelled me to "blow" before
my job did. Since September, I have been somewhat like Mr.
Micawber, though not entirely idle. Up to election day, I was
busy in politics as Chairman of the local chapter of the Republican
League of Massachusetts. I have also been looking after some
real estate, and nursing along a small fruit orchard.

ALTHOUGH my imaginative powers are not negligible they
cannot make any account of what I have been doing since
graduation brilliant. There is not even a war service period to
brighten the page. This does not mean that life has been dull
or uninteresting, but on the other hand rather full of its fair
share of blessings and not too many sorrows.
After finishing my course in June, 191 o, I attempted to sell
a few bonds. Not having sold any by September I decided to
go to work and spent the next winter in New York with R. Hoe
& Company. By May I was sure of not being elected as a member
of the Board of Directors at the annual meeting and inasmuch as
spring and my own Commencement were approaching I decided
to live in the country near Boston and so went to work for Bird
& Son of East Walpole on May 29th, 191 1. Here I remained
until April, 1918, when I entered into a partnership with George
Nicols in New York which finally brought me back to Boston
in December, 1918, as treasurer of the Roxbury Carpet Company,
and I still continue at this work.

BEFORE 191 1 was over I had taken unto myself a wife and had
entered the wholesale and retail provision business in the
market district of Boston. Here for eight years I mangled many
a pork chop for Classmates, and others, until by mere chance I
became interested in the American Consular Service.
Taking the consular examinations at Washington in May 1919,
I received an appointment as Vice Consul de Carriere to Saint
Nazaire, France, for which post I set sail on the A. T. S.
"America" on November 19, 1919. Saint Nazaire, situated at the
mouth of the River Loire, very provincial, familiar to many an
A. E. F. who disembarked there — well, the mud in this delightful
little hole oozed in over the tops of my rubbers all the way from
December i to January 23, 1920. Then on the latter date I had
the good fortune to be placed temporarily in charge of the Con-
sulate at Nantes, France, the ancient capital of Brittany.
On April 17, 1920, I was promoted to Consul and designated
to open a new office at Dunkirk, France, an important seaport
which withstood 214 distinct bombardments during the War; this
city is situated twelve miles below the Belgian frontier on the
English Channel.
How many times the boys have accused me of entering the
Foreign Service all on account of Prohibition ! But no, it isn't
true even if Champagne is only $1.35 per bottle at present rate of
exchange! I am very happy in my new and fascinating work;
I hope the next Class History may still find me in this interesting
Consular Service.
I hope any 1911's visiting or sojourning in France may make
themselves known at the American Consulate, Dunkirk, France.

AFTER graduation I set out to learn the woolen manufacturing
business. From the summer of 191 1 to the fall of 1915 I
worked as a laborer through all the departments of a woolen mill.
During 1916 and the first half of 1917 I was in a commission
house in New York learning the methods of selling.
My war experience was far from thrilling. Somebody dis-
covered my textile training and I was immediately put in the
Quartermaster Corps and spent nearly two years as an officer in
the Boston Quartermaster Depot handling the production and
inspection of the military goods made in the New England woolen
mills. This was hard technical work with no thrills. After the
armistice was signed I was held for seven months adjusting the
claims of contractors whose unfinished contracts were cancelled
by the government.
Needless to say, I am not on the reserve list of Q. M. officers.

came home by way of England on a British sailing ship. In the

UPON graduation I entered the very honorable profession of
teaching and spent seven years initiating young men into the
beauties of the French and Spanish languages, two years in the
Newman School of Hackensack, New Jersey, one year at Dart-
mouth College, and four years in Yale University, where I all
but completed a course of study for the Ph. D. degree. During
the summers of this period I travelled in Europe and elsewhere.
In 191 7 I published a Spanish Reader of South American History
(Macmillan Company),
When the war broke out, I was in France and made some very
interesting observations with some French and English soldiers
I knew. Returning to the United States, I took up the R. O. T. C.
work at Yale, being a lieutenant in our organization, instructing
in Gunnery, Hygiene, Trigonometry and Foot Drill.
Was refused admission to the Training Camp with the men

under my charge "because I was not a Yale graduate," was denied
a commission as interpreter after passing linguistic examination
because of poor eyesight. Was admitted into the Naval Reserve
as a chief yeoman to do special work abroad in the Intelligence
Department, eyesight requirements having been expressly waived.
While in training camp for three weeks, the office of Naval In-
telligence in the First Naval District was considerably shaken up,
and I was assigned, at the completion of my training period, to
the Plant Protection Division as Officer in Charge.
Upon release from active duty, I became associated with the

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 407
IN 191 1 I entered the profession of college teaching. I am still
in it. In 1920 I subscribed to the Harvard Endowment Fund.
Of the fact that I am a sentimentalist there could be no better
proof unless it be that I like freshmen. For nine years I have
tried to cajole and bulldoze them into saying what they meant.
Uusually they have meant well, but little. Dates and places?
Queen's University, Canada, 1911-1912; University of Illinois
1912-1918; University of Minnesota 1919-1921. At Illinois I
combined full time teaching and half-time graduate study ; result
a Ph. D. and a lasting disgust at the Teutonized educational sys-
tem which in all our universities — Illinois being only an aggra-
vated instance — exalts research above teaching, narrow special-
ization above good sense and culture, and the pundit's journal
above the undergraduate's good. At Minnesota I have at last
attained the eminence of assistant professor at a salary — I should
like, in the cause of scientific investigation, to mention it — of
$2,000. The year between Illinois and Minnesota I spent in get-
ting married, and in inducing the S. G. O. to let me in as a buck
private teacher of disabled soldiers. Unfortunately, the disabled
soldiers refused to be taught, being more interested in getting
discharged, securing passes, and tasting the various forms of vice
which make Carlisle, Pennsylvania, one of the vilest of Pennsyl-
vania towns, despite Molly Pitcher Dickinson College, all sorts
and conditions of churches, and the Pennsylvania Constabulary.
Because I could peck a typewriter and could not drill, I was made
a sergeant first class, given commutation of quarters, and allowed
to skip reveille and eat breakfast in town with my wife. My
principal diversions in Minneapolis consist in bargain-hunting:
see salary above ; wondering whether I should change my name to
Sutquist; and renewing my childhood as the result of Ponce de
Leon draughts administered by my daughter Sarah.

SENIOR year at college ended for me about midnight of August
14th, when I finally closed the Treasurer's books of both the
Crimson and the Class Fund. The next day I started off on a
ten months' trip around the world, which concentrated into its
long wanderings through Europe, India, Malaysia, China, and
Japan nearly as much education as my whole four years in college.
Thereupon, armed with an A. B., A. M. and the experience of
this trip, I set out to make a living and found the world ready to
give me six dollars a week for my services with the Springfield
Republican. What was lacking in financial rewards was, how-
ever, amply compensated for in training under Samuel Bowles
and Solomon Grififin. During eighteen months I worked my way
through the small, typical New England town of West Spring-
field with its annual town meeting and its old Yankee background,
up by the new immigrant city of Chicopee with its 9,000 Poles,
8,000 French-Canadians, 6,000 Irish, and 2,000 Yanks, into the
clean wideawake city of Springfield itself. Wider fields soon
called, however, and I joined the United Press, serving in their
New York office first and later as their Philadelphia and their
Boston correspondent. Here the war found me in 1914, and as
soon as the telegraph ticker carried into the office the news that
Germany had declared war, I made up my mind to go over. That
night I left for Montreal and in a few weeks was swept on to
Paris, around the Allied flank, into the German rear, down
tlirough France with von Kluck and back into the Allied lines
again. A second time I went out front, returning home in Nov-
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 409
ember and taking out of it all a little book on "Roadside Glimpses
of the Great War." Thereupon 1 joined The New Republic,
which had just started, and devoted over a year to building up
what advertising department they had. But journalism called
again and I soon found myself Associated Press correspondent
at the State Department. A year and a half of the most congen-
ial work followed, until just after our own entry into the war, I
was tempted by an offer to go to France to keep the record
of the American Air Service. But the Air Service fell down,
if one can use that phrase of an Air Service, and I spent the next
fifteen months as a captain in the Battle of Washington, leaving
behind "The American Air Service" which amounted to a prac-
tically official history of the upbuilding of the service at home.
Within a few weeks I was again on the ocean as correspondent
en route for the Peace Conference, but was very soon appointed
Assistant Director of the Press Section of the American Peace
Commission, incidentally the finest body of men with whom it
had been my fortune to be associated. In the last days of the
Conference, as the Secretariat of the League of Nations was be-
ing planned, I was asked to take a position there and very gladly
did so. As Assistant Director of the Information Section, I was
sent to the first International Labor Conference at Washington
and spent seven months there during the heat of the Senate
campaign, writing another little book on "The League of Nations
at Work" : I then returned to Europe to be sent to the Jurists
Conference at the Hague and the Financial Conference at Brus-
sels, finally settling permanently in Geneva at the time of the first
Assembly. Whatever the outcome of this last phase, I shall never
regret this connection with the League, for I believe its spirit
and purpose square with the best traditions and hopes of the
great mass of my own countrymen. Incidentally I have acquired
a fine wife, a sterling son of four and a half who fortunately
takes after his mother, and a daughter of two, who is still some-
what of a puzzle.

(Bus.) Ill Devonshire St., Boston, Mass.
I SPENT 1911-1912 at the Business School, and shortly after a
notable cruise with our new Class Secretary and one W. P.
Fuller, I went to work with Moors & Cabot, bankers and brokers,
Boston, Massachusetts.
For some six months I received invaluable preliminary training
folding circulars, buying tickets to New York for my betters, etc.
I was then given a desk and became an expert on investments,
which I have been gradually becoming ever since.
There have been two extended absences from that desk. During
the late unpleasantness with the Central Powers, after being re-
jected as not fat enough for slaughter, I had a job with the State
Councils Section of the Council of National Defence, first in the
Information Department and later as Assistant to the Chief. In
the former position, I was classified by the United States as
"An Expert," and drew $0.0833 P^i" month (still due) ; in the
latter position I was classified as "Clerk" and drew $150 a month
(in real 35 cent Washington-war-dollars).
On January 5, 1918, I married Beatrice Murray, of London,
England. Later in the winter, being ordered abroad for my health,
we went to Bermuda.
November nth found us in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is
412 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
the only day I ever had champagne for breakfast. We took a
vacation till late in the following (1919) summer, mostly in Cal-
ifornia and the Canadian Rockies. My golf game got less bad.
I got back to work in the fall of 1919. The second interruption
came last summer, when we took a holiday to France, Switzer-
land and England, incidentally trying out the London-Paris
air service.
I am hoping for a day or two off in June 1921 !

years I worked in Waterbury, Connecticut, New York City, and
New Haven, Connecticut. In 1916 I settled down with Stone &

tion Department and engaged in estimating the cost of building
work. During the war period I was working overtime in connec-

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 417
TRAINED as a Civil Engineer, my path has been long, varied,
pleasant and successful. A concise history follows, leaving
out the high and low spots.
In 191 1 was instructor at Squam Lake Engineering Camp.
During 1911-1912 was chief of party on hydroelectric reconnais-
sance, New Hampshire. In 1912 was timekeeper and later fore-
man on the Filene Building, Boston. In 1912 and 1913 was struc-
tural designer at Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British
Columbia. From 1913 to 1915 was superintendent of construction
in various places, including Vancouver; Vernon, British Colum-
bia ; Montreal, Quebec ; Liverpool, Nova Scotia ; and Tacoma,
Washington. In 1916 was Field Engineer in charge of all new
construction at Tacoma plant of American Smelting & Refining
Company, and in 1917 held same position at Garfield, Utah plant
of the American Smelting & Refining Company. In 1918 joined
the army as private, first class, for ground school instruction in
Air Service at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at
Cambridge. Served two months at Rich Field, Waco, Texas, and
then was sent overseas. Landed in Liverpool and went immed-
iately to Winchester to await orders and then to Kenly where
most of my time was put in. We received airplanes of many
different makes from various factories, set them up, and tested
them in every particular, synchronized the guns with the pro-
pellers and turned the machines over to the ferry pilots for the
trip across the Channel to the more active work on the lines. Just
before the armistice I spent some time at the Handley-Page
factory studying their new big bomber, but the armistice came
before anything could be done with them. Spent 1919 in general
study of lumber business. Since 1920 have been Assistant Gen-
eral Manager of Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company at Snoqual-
mie Falls, Washington. We operate our own logging camps and
manufacture annually 120,000,000 feet of lumber.

School: Westport High School, Kansas City, Mo.
Degrees: A. B. 1911.
Married: Ethel Louise Bailey, Kansas City, Mo., July 19, 1911 (Died
Aug. 22, 1918).
Child: Laura Kemper, Sept. 1, 1915.
War Service: Enlisted June 1, 1918, Seaman, 2nd class; Discharged

I WAS married a month after commencement and entered the
Badger Lumber Company which was founded in i866 by my
grandfather, for whom I was named. My grandfather having
died in March 19 lo, my father inherited control of the company.
I first went to our mill in Arkansas and stayed there until the end
of 191 1, after which I spent the first six months of 1912 in our
retail yard in Abilene, Kansas. Since then I have been in Kansas
City and have not engaged in activities outside of the Badger
Lumber Company which are worthy of mention. I was Treasurer
of the company until I went east for a vacation just after enlisting
in the U. S. N. R. F., June i, 1918. From this trip my wife never
returned alive, dying in Atlantic City after two weeks' siege of
typhoid, August 22, 1918. During the last year of her life she was
president of the local branch of the Junior League, completing
the most successful year that that organization had enjoyed up
to that time. It is my chief ambition to some day establish some
suitable monument to her memory. Since being released from the
Naval Reserve at the end of 1918, I have been in Kansas City
and was connected again with the Badger Lumber Company.
An unfortunate misunderstanding with my father a year ago
last fall resulted in my leaving the company and since then I have
been practically unoccupied, only recently I returned to the re-
organized Badger Lumber Company, my father having retired.
I cannot tell yet whether the present arrangement will work out
satisfactorily, although I sincerely hope it will, as I have senti-
mental as well as practical reasons for wanting to remain in the
business with which I have always been associated.
Inasmuch as I was stationed only at Great Lakes and in the
Municipal Pier Officers' School in Chicago, my "war" record
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 419
cannot be said to have been thrilling. By the same token my
observations of the "service" was narrowly restricted. I can
only say that the atmosphere of the stations which I mention was
one of complete bewilderment — possibly resulting from the sud-
denness with which they were increased.

LIFE since graduation : — This is rather a difficult question, hard
to handle, and I understand being generally treated in a
non-serious vein.
I have been with O'Brion, Russell & Company, Insurance, since
leaving Cambridge mid-year 191 1. The work has always been
agreeable, with the pleasantest of people to work with, which
makes all the difference. I, therefore, consider myself very lucky.
I spend practically the whole year in the country where the
hobby of horses and dogs is all absorbing — requiring some work.
I went to the First Plattsburg Camp in 1917 after having been
to the 191 5 camp and having served several years in the militia.
422 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
I would have been satisfied with a Second Lieutenantcy which
would have guaranteed a job with subsequent chances of advance-
ment. I got nothing and drilled through the second camp, made
Second Lieutenant, Infantry, transferred to Remount Division,
Q. M. C, and ended up as Remount Officer, 77th Division, getting
last few weeks of Meuse Argonne. Enjoyed every minute while
with this Division for although I was a newcomer, arriving at the
tail end of what they had been through, I was treated with cour-
tesy and consideration.
I left the service confirmed in my disgust at the short sighted-
ness of our policy which had permitted us to drift along through
two years of a world conflict with no preparation for the inevit-
able. I particularly disapprove of the system of a "regular stand-
ing army" doing nothing in time of peace, which quite naturally
results in a large majority of the Regular Officers being ignorant
to a degree of the very things that they are supposed to know and
to be able to teach. Their inability to understand the point of
view of the man coming into the service from civil life was one
of their most serious failings.

CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 423
1914 I entered the Columbia Law School, leaving in May, 1917,
to enter the first Training Camp at Plattsburg. I received a com-
mission as Second Lieutenant, Q. M. C, in August and went to
France early in 1918. Most of the time I was in the office of the
Chief Purchasing Officer, A. E. F., in Paris. I returned in June,
1919. My opinion of the service, like the service's opinion of me,
is not fit for print. In order to avoid having to vote for either
Cox or Harding, and to escape the drives that were going on for
the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Regular Army, the
janitor, the Postman's Ball, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the
Good Scouts, and the Fund For Starving German Babies, I re-
turned last fall to France and hope to be able to stay as long as
the franc sells at seventeen to the dollar. This will mean my
missing 191 1's Decennial and not seeing many friends I should
like to see; but I shall try and console myself with a bottle of
Asti and drink to the health of the class and the most successful
of reunions.

in the Law School, and the year 1911-1912 in the Business
School specializing in accounting and finance. Immediately there-
after I started in the accounting profession by joining the staff
of Price, Waterhouse & Company at New York. I was trans-
ferred to the Boston Office in 1916 and was married in the same
year. In the summer of 191 7, under the asupices of the Mass-
achusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants, I taught a
special class at the Harvard Business School for men either in or
about to enter Navy or Army "Cost Inspection" under cost-plus
and other contracts. In January 1918 I enlisted in the Navy and
was stationed at Washington in the Bureau of Supplies and Ac-
counts in connection with the supervision of the auditing of the
cost-plus contracts and commandeered plants. In August 1918
my son was born at Boston. In January 1919 I returned to Price,

FROM mid-years to June 1911 I went to a business school in
Boston. Spent the summer of that year in Europe, part of
the time in tramping through the Austrian Tyrol. In the fall
began work with Chickering Piano factory, but changed to a bank
job during the next summer. In October 1912 I started to learn
the bond business with Blodget & Company, Boston, and remained
with them until March 191 5 when I left to go with my father
who is a broker in Cordage Fibres. On January i, 1920 a partner-
ship was formed under the firm name of E. D. Ver Planck & Son.
As regards "war experiences" mine were not unduly thrilling.
I was turned down for the army and until October 1918, helped
the draft board in Brookline. Then I "enlisted" in the field service
of the American Red Cross, and was sent to Camp Devens, Mass-
achusetts, where I remained until June i, 1919.

WITH characteristic Harvard indifference I send you in my
life at the last possible moment.
Upon leaving Harvard I took up the study of shorthand. This
I did entirely by myself and mastered the art in five weeks time,
by dint of working about five hours a day. Such is the demand
in Boston, or was at that time, for the college graduate. Of course
there was Lee Higginson & Company and other bankers and
brokers, but those jobs are like ambassadorships, requiring a sep-
arate source of income.
My first job after graduation was at $6.oo a week, stenographer
for Church's Booking Agency, a theatrical booking house. The
manager, feeling not altogether at ease in hiring a Harvard grad-
uate for that suin, told me I was destined for better things. So
I was. To wit, $9.00 per week at Johns-Manville Company, also
as stenographer. That was in the hungry days of job hunting,
which I understand have rolled around again.
Then I got a job through the Harvard Employment Office with
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, salary $60.00 per month.
Almost immediately I got married, making an excellent selection
though a reckless decision.
Life then took on a serious complexion, different from the
subsidized existence at Harvard. I went west to Akron, Ohio,
which at that time was the city of standing room only. Then
south to Houston, Texas, where the B. V. D. becomes like postage
on one's back. Then a hurried jaunt to Milwaukee, now the city
of the dead, then back to Akron. Six years and a half rolled by,
full of experience but rather empty of money. Then I resigned
and became sales manager of the Service Recorder Company of
Cleveland, where I now am.
428 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
Such is the skeleton outhne of my Hfe since graduation. The
thoughts by which I have been baffled, the ambitions not yet real-
ized would, I suppose, clothe that skeleton with considerable
adipose tissue. 1 begin to realize at last that life has just begun,
and I can understand why it takes many a Harvard man about
ten years to find himself.
The most interesting part of my life is what I intend to do in
the future. The most successful part of my life has been my
clinging to my original determination and ambition in spite of
my failure or lack of opportunity to use it.
Of that more anon.

AFTER completing the requirements for the college degree in
1 910, I entered the Law School in the fall of that year and
graduated in 191 3. Upon graduation, I came to New York City
and entered the law office of Cravath & Henderson, where I re-
mained for two years. In 191 5, Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Company
were acting Purchasing Agents for the British and French Gov-
ernments in the purchase of munitions and other supplies in the
United States, and the firm of White & Case, of which I am now
a member, was acting as counsel in these activities. I became
associated with White & Case for that work and, until the summer
of 1917, was at the office of Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Company
as one of their representatives in such purchasing work. Shortly
after the United States entered the war, Messrs. J. P. Morgan &
Company ceased to act as Purchasing Agents and certain mem-
bers of their old organization, of which I was one, were asked
to assist the British officials in organizing the Purchasing De-
partment of the British War Mission to carry on such work as
a direct governmental department. I was with the British War
Mission until its work was substantially completed in May, 1919,
at which time I came back to my own firm in active practice.

to participate in the Commencement Exercises of our class. I
436 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
pursued my studies, mostly in mediaeval history, in the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences of Harvard from 1910 to 1913, when
I moved with my parents to California. Just prior to leaving, I
took the General Examination for the degree of Ph. D. in History,
In Berkeley I continued my studies in history and allied subjects,
notably pedagogy, at the University of California, where I took,
in 1914 the degree of Master of Letters, on the basis of a thesis in
the history of the French Revolution. For some time I held the
position as Reader in the Department of History at the Univer-
sity of California, but owing to poor health, my progress in the
academic career was very slow. The state of my health also pre-
vented me from taking part in any war activities.
Such opportunities as I have had to engage in research work
have been devoted to the furthering of my Doctor's Thesis
"Indiculus Loricatorum Ottoni II In Italiam Mittendorum," a
part of which I have submitted some time ago to the Division of
History, Government, and Economics at Harvard.
Since the professors at Harvard, under whom I am to take my
doctor's degree, had advised me to engage in secondary school
woi'k by way of preparation for an academic career, I have de-
voted considerable time in meeting their requirements. Apart
from the state of my health, the fact that I received no support
from my Harvard professors has been conducive to my having
been so long in securing a suitable position. In the meanwhile
I have done some teaching in the High Schools of San Francisco,
Oakland, and Berkeley.
Since last autumn I have held the position as Head of the De-
partment of History at the Junior College of Santa Rosa, (Cal-
ifornia) which institution is connected with the High School of
that city.

The first was from May 1912 till Christmas, when I followed
up a college ambition to learn landscape architecture. After some
work in Cleveland and Akron and not arriving at much satis-
faction I returned and prepared for some special study in music,
which I pitched into in the fall of 1913 in Boston. For the next
two years I practised scales and etudes and sonatas and pieces
from Bach to Debussy at the direction of Heinrich Gebhard and
wrote exercises in harmony and counterpoint at the New England
Conservatory 'ad nauseum."
W'hen I returned to my home to recuperate from this orgy of
music, I found it necessary to return to the bank. This time I
remained two years and a half.
In spite of accumulating responsibility at home, I joined the
Army January i, 1918, by entering an Ordnance Training Course
at the University of Chicago, spent six months in Camp Jackson,
South Carolina and Camp Hancock, Georgia, and finally, about
the first of September, embarked for France. In the course of a
month I was assigned to the Office of the Chief Ordnance Officer
at Tours in the Ammunition Supply Section. Held a warrant as
Sergeant, first class. Had no adventures except with the "flu"
and its "follow up." For lack of space and adequate words, I
will not venture to express my opinion of the service.

►}- HERVEY EDWARD WETZEL
H
ERVEY Edward Wetzel was born in Detroit, February 2,
1887, the son of Henry Adolf and Harriet (Greiner) Wet-
zel. While at Harvard the death of his parents in quick suc-
cession was a blow which left him bereft with grief and in his
sorrow he turned to the study of Art treasures for relief. On his
return from a trip to Europe he resumed his work at Harvard,
making the study of Art the major part of his endeavors. Steady
progress in them combined with the social opportunities of Bos-
ton and vicinity, where he made many friendships with persons
of worth both young and old, led him to make Boston his home.
After receiving his A. B. degree he took a year at the Business
School to enable him to better care for his estate. He made a
number of trips to Europe and the Far East studying and collect-
ing beautiful antiques. His home in old Louisburg Square be-
came a veritable museum filled with the choice objects which he
was constantly obtaining. He became a curator of one of the
departments of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and became
intimate not only with the art authorities of this country but with
many in Europe and the East.
After the outbreak of war Wetzel became actively interested
in a number of the committees for European relief on which he
devoted a great deal of time and energy. He attended one of
the Plattsburgh camps, but after the entr>' of the United States
he was refused for military service on account of physical disa-
bilities. At Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he had a sum-
mer home, he did much relief work for our sailors, at the same
time continuing his activities with various national committees.
In the spring of 1918 he enrolled for overseas work with the
American Red Cross and was assigned to the Paris Headquarters.
Here he worked with great zeal through the summer as the Di-
rector of the Department of Permits and Passes. In his apart-
ment overlooking the old gardens of the Palais Royal he lived
surrounded by many of his art treasures, and here he was taken
sick in the terrible epidemic of that fall. He died at the Red
Cross Hospital at Neuilly on October 14th and was buried at the
American Military Cemetery at Suresnes.
His death was a real loss to the community of Boston. By
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 443
his enthusiasm, intellect, and extreme devotion to his chosen ca-
reer, he had made remarkable progress. When he died his plans
were but in their infancy, and we of Boston are the poorer that
he should have been called at the threshold of his life's work.
By his will he left one hundred thousand dollars to both the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts and to the Fogg Art Museum of
Harvard.

Hutchins and I are attempting to follow the footsteps of our
respective parents, neither of whom has as yet shown any signs of
being overtaken.
In the summer of 1916 I served with Troop B, Massachusetts,
at El Paso, Texas. Although I did not enter Mexico while on
the border I did enter Canada during my service, which I consider
something of an achievement.

AFTER leaving College I attended the Harvard Graduate School
of Business Administration for two years, graduating with
the degree of M. B. A. in 191 3. My first real job was assisting
446 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
Mr. Robert G. Valentine of Boston who was developing a new
line of work as a counselor on industrial relations. This work
was somewhat interrupted by the war, so in December, 1914, I
entered the railway service in the Valuation Department, Boston
& Maine Railroad, Boston, as a junior accountant. Here I re-
mained until January, 191 7. Valuation was approaching com-
pletion; receivership accounting looked interesting, so a change
to this department of the Railroad was then made. I entered
Plattsburg May 15, 191 7, after futile attempts to secure a Na-
tional Guard discharge, and after struggles with the Army doctors.
On return to civilian life in March, 1919, the old railway work
was taken up again. It did not afiford quite the inspiration and
dignity worthy of the situation. I was married by this time.
More money took me in August, 1919, to the employ of the
Ludlow Manufacturing Associates of Boston. This Company
w^as building a subsidiary jute mill at Calcutta, India, and put me
to w^ork on systems and accounts for the new project. That
accounts for my business to date, with an impending threat of a
trip to India, at the moment.
My military interests began with enlistment in the First Corps
Cadets (Massachusetts National Guard) Boston, on March 10,
1914. Rifle shooting interested me from the start. I was an
alternate on the Corps team one year, I think in 191 5. I was
executive officer of the first Civilian Rifle Club of Melrose, Mass-
achusetts, where I live. This Club in its first year qualified more
members than any other club in the State. In September, 1916,
I helped organize the Melrose Military Training School made up
of sixty to one hundred and fifty members, and was appointed
chairman of the organizing committee.
After the close of the first camp at Plattsburg in August, 1917,
my assignment was to Camp Devens with a commission as Cap-
tain, Infantry Reserve Corps. The job was to organize a com-
pany of the 302nd Infantry, beginning with nothing, out of almost
100% green men and officers. In May, 1918, a new assignment
was given me as Personnel Officer, 151st Depot Brigade, Camp
Devens in charge of setting up the first central personnel system
for drafted men. Later, in August, 1918, I was made Division
Personnel Adjutant of the new 12th Division at Camp Devens,
on the staff of Major General H. P. McCain. Personnel work
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 447
was a sensationally new feature in the army including as it did,
scientific employment methods, psychological tests, trade tests and
economy of trained men. While not at all heroic, this work was
the most interesting army job out of France.

IN the autumn of 1911 I returned to Harvard to do graduate
work in chemistry and was fortunate enough to be taken on
by Professor Charles Loring Jackson as the last of his long line
of research men. The following year I was unable to register
in the Graduate School but worked with Professor Jackson as
his private research assistant as he had retired on a Carnegie
pension which did not allow him to have University students
working with him. During this year a number of new men joined
the staff of the Chemistry Department at Harvard and the ele-
mentary courses were reorganized. This fact gave me an oppor-
tunity to build up a considerable tutoring practice in connection
with the "Widow". During the year 1913-1914 I did research
work with Professor E. P. Kohler, the new head of Organic
Chemistry at Harvard. In June 1914 I received the Doctor's
degree in organic chemistry. Four days after receiving my degree
I did something that I had wanted to do for five years, married
Marion Gertrude Mason, RadcliflFe, 1912. After a short honey-
moon spent in Maine I had to return to Cambridge to assist some
448 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
of "my young friends" at the Widow's who were anxious to enter
college in the fall. The tutoring had grown so profitable that I
had decided to continue at it for a time as a "pot boiler" until I
could afford the luxury of going into college teaching. I acted
again as a research assistant to Professor Jackson with the hope
of finishing up some of his many uncompleted problems. Un-
fortunately the tutoring grew apace and took nearly all of my
time. I say unfortunately because I would like to have done the
research work. Financially all went well, however, That first
year at the tutoring as a "profession" netted over twice w^hat any
regular college instructorship would have done. When 191 5 came
there were no college positions open worthy of notice. The tutor-
ing kept growing and that year brought more than the salary of
any professor in the University. By this time the tutoring had
grown so that I had not only Harvard students but many from
Tech, Tufts, Radclifife, Wellesley, Boston University, and many
irregulars who wanted to acquire a little chemistry without regis-
tering in a regular school. In the fall of 1916 I decided to con-
tinue the tutoring in connection with a part time instructorship
in Organic Chemistry at Williams College. I spent three days
of the week in Williamstown and the rest of the week at my tutor-
ing in Cambridge. This necessitated my having an assistant to
handle any of the work which could not wait until I returned to
Cambridge. In the spring of 1917 came the War and things
dropped from under. I took a position as Instructor at the Wil-
liam Marsh Rice Institute in Houston, Texas. The men who
had been the ones to be tutored went into the war almost to a man.
This will be better realized when I say that the chemistry tutoring
in 1916-1917 ran well over six thousand dollars, while that for the
following year was about five hundred. In this connection I
would like to correct a misconception about men who are tutored.
They are not generally dubs or loafers as is so commonly taken
for granted. In a majority of cases there is a legitimate reason
for getting outside help. In the complexity of modern under-
graduate life there are many activities which legitimately take a
lot of time which can hardly be spared from the studies. For
instance I probably tutored a majority of the managers of the
major teams during my years of tutoring. These men had almost
two men's work to do and resorted to tutoring in many cases as a
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 449
time saver. Another misconception is that a tutor is one who
dopes out examinations. Such is not the case. The successful
tutor is simply a good teacher. He does the work which is ordin-
arily done by the assistant in the course and does it better. This
is said without prejudice to the assistant or the college which
employs him. It is merely an argument for the expenditure of
more money on elementary instruction. It is obvious that an
assistantship paying five hundred dollars cannot attract as good
a teacher as a position which pays over ten times as much.
I spent one year in Texas at the newest university in the
country. It was an interesting year but I made the mistake of
staying in Texas during the following summer. The heat and
great variety of bugs and sundry other objectionable features
sent me north in August, 1918. I had been making some humble
attempts at inventing toxic gases on a sort of correspondence
school basis with the Experiment Station at Washington which
w-as eventually to become the Chemical Warfare Service. There-
fore I went to W^ashington to see if I could not get into the game
a little more by coming up there. Unfortunately it was at the
time when the S. A. T. C. was about to be evolved and those in
power decided that teachers should stay teachers. I decided that
if I must teach I .would not do so in Texas. Consequently I took
a position at the University of Minnesota and rushed back to
Texas. There we packed up, shipped our goods, and jumped in
the old bus and proceeded to burn up the roads to the northward.
We went along the Meridian Road eighteen hundred miles in
eight days. The trip straight north from a semitropical climate
to that of Minnesota was most interesting. I stayed at Minnesota
for a year and a half. The experience of being in an institution
about twice the size of Harvard University convinces one that
size is not necessarily an advantage in an educational institution.
In January, 1920, I came to Northwestern University as Professor
of Organic Chemistry. Northwestern is an institution a little
larger than Harvard but the college is somewhat smaller. This
means that my classes are of reasonable size as they are drawn
almost entirely from the college. Evanston is a delightful residen-
tial city. It has all the advantages of a non-industrial small town
and yet is within twenty minutes of Chicago by train. I shall
probably stay here for some time, both because I like the place
450 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
and because no one will hardly be foolish enough to offer me
more money than I am getting here.
In conclusion — in five years I came in intimate contact with five
colleges or universities, Harvard, Williams, Rice, Minnesota, and
Northwestern. These represent almost all types of higher school.
Some of them have advantages which Harvard does not possess
but they lack other things which she has. My three boys are
"preparing" to enter Harvard at the earliest opportunity.

AS I look back over my "life since graduation," I am reminded
of the usual way in which the travellers out in the Orient are
introduced to the old-time residents there. "Mr. Blank, let me
introduce Mr. Whittier who is passing through on his way to — ."
Those words "passing through" also fittingly describe the whole
452 CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
decade of changing addresses and an interesting variety of ev-
periences in several lines of business.
The academic year 1911-1912 was my second in the Business
School and brought with it the first prize for the thesis required
for the degree.
Examinations over, I immediately reported for work with a
long-forgotten subsidiary of the General Motors Company in
Boston, — and when this died a peaceful death in a few months,
the local Oldsmobile office conducted the funeral and took me
over for a short time.
Early in 19 13, my business address changed to lower Milk
Street, where I had the opportunity of working as Assistant Sec-
retary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce under the guidance
of "Jim" McKibben. If every college youngster, upon entering
his professional or business career, could have as capable an
advisor and friend, he would be most fortunate.
During the summer of 191 5, I headed westward and for three
months mixed pleasure and business. Visited Chambers of Com-
merce in most of the large cities of this country, — clambered over
the backbone of the Sierras for several v;eeks on a camping trip, —
took a look around Alaska, — and did a little climbing in the
Canadian Rockies.
The next address proved to be New York. Business, — foreign
trade promotion, — first, as Assistant Manager of the Foreign
Trade Bureau of the Merchants Association of New York in the
winter of 191 5- 191 6; then in a similar capacity with the newly
organized Foreign Trade Bureau in the head office of the Am-
erican Express Company.
Here I was when the war broke out and immediately fell heir
to the management of the Bureau when my "chief" was requi-
sitioned by the War Trade Board for London service.
Along in February of 1918, shortly after former Dean Gay of
the Harvard Business School had commenced his remarkable
service with the Shipping and War Trade Boards in Washington,
I received a characteristic telegram from him which again changed
my address to "D. C." — first as "liaison officer" between Mr.
Gay's Shipping Board staflf and practically all other governmental
organizations in Washington, — then as Secretary of the War
Trade Board hearings on import restrictions, — and finally as
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 453
Executive Secretary of the Central Bureau of Planning and
Statistics. This last Bureau was created late in the war (under
Mr. Gay as Director) to make a monthly summary for President
Wilson of the progress of all his war activities.
Back in New York again after the armistice to rejoin the Am-
erican Express Company, — this time in the capacity of Assistant
to the Vice President and to prepare for a trip throughout the
Orient to develop closer financial relations with all the inter-
national banks there.
Headed westward in February, 1919. Japan and China first, —
and, by the way, one night in Shanghai, Fred Deane and I had an
impromptu reunion. We celebrated our Decennial in advance
for fear that it couldn't be done properly in the United States.
Then over to Manila and southward to French Indo-China,
Siam, the Straits Settlements and the Dutch East Indies. From
the last place, a journey of thirty-five days on one boat brought me
from below the equator, through the Suez, and up to the pene-
trating winter cold of the English Channel countries for a few
weeks in Europe.
Once back in New York, fate again interfered with my plans
to settle down, for the summer of 1920 found me back in Boston
in partnership with my father in matters as far removed from
foreign trade as Cambridge is from Java.
But "the temple-bells are calling, an' it's there that I would be,"
— by the time this report is published the chances are that this
present address may only be a forwarding one.
Publications: Numerous articles written during 1917 and 1918
when I was Editor of the "Foreign Trade Bulletin" of the Am-
erican Express Company. This is a monthly publication with a
world-wide mailing list among international bankers, traders and
shippers of about 15,000 copies.

Occupation: Artist.
Address: Oakland, N. J.
SINCE graduation I've been trying to be an artist without living
in a garret. So far I've avoided the garret but I'll probably
come to it in the end. For eight or nine years I served as art
editor of the Youth's Companion during the daytime and piled
up rejection slips during the evenings. At last the rejection slips
began to get fewer, and I decided that if I was ever to be a regular
artist I had better have my try at it before much more hair fell
out. (For the benefit of those similarly afflicted I will say that
I have tried all the well known tonics — to no avail.) Hence,
I resigned from the Youth's Companion, was shocked to notice
with what alacrity my resignation was accepted, and became an
artist. That is I call myself an artist though others refer to me
as a cartoonist or a comic artist, which of course sends me right
down in the social scale. My experiment is only a year old,
but I think I've done rather well to keep my creditors satisfied
for even that long. And the career has its compensations. You
don't have to be at the office at nine o'clock and you can play
golf any afternoon you wish — that is, if you play golf, which
I don't.

Education, a weekly paper for public school teachers and execu-

there was a chance to "learn the newspaper business" on the

reporter.

flood tide of National Army men roll in there, to watch my class-

the 76th Division went overseas. Then I entered the Infantry
Officers' Training School at Camp Lee, where I was bravely serv-
ing the colors when the Armistice came.
Back at the Globe, I was sent to New York to watch the arrival
of soldiers coming home on the transports, and again I saw some
of my classmates — on stretchers aboard hospital ships. Now I
am settled back in a chair as Sunday Editor and a couple of et
ceteras — still watching while my classmates and others do things.

know. In September, 1918, attended the Third Corps School for
a course in Infantry weapons. After the Armistice as C. O.

IMMEDIATELY after graduation in 191 1, Campbell Bosson,
another member of the class, and I started on a trip through
the western part of the countr>' as a last vacation before settling
down to work. We went through Yellowstone Park first and then
through the Canadian Rockies, stopping off at the main points for
a few days in each. After reaching Vancouver, we turned south,
visiting Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and then came
back to the east via the Grand Canyon and Chicago, reaching
Boston about the middle of September.
In October I returned to my home in New York City and
entered the employ of White, Weld & Company, 14 Wall Street,
as a runner, or in other words, an advanced messenger boy. In
the spring of 1912 I was transferred to the statistical department
and have remained in this branch of the business since, being
made assistant statistician in 1914. In November 1914 I was
married by the Rev. Leighton Parks to Miss Priscilla Bull in St.
Bartholomew's Church, New York City. Our first child, a girl,
was born in October, 19 16, and the following spring we moved
from the city to Cedarhurst, Long Island, where we have lived
since with the exception of the period when I was in the army.
In February, 1918, shortly after the birth of our second child,
a boy, I received a commission as First Lieutenant in the Sanitary
Corps and was stationed in Washington as aide to the Surgeon
General's aide. I remained there until August 1918, when I was
transferred to Camp Upton for training as adjutant of a hospital.
After six weeks' work I was ordered to Boston to assist in the
470 CL.'\SS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT
organization of General Hospital No. lo on Parker Hill and to
act as adjutant. In January, 1919, an opportunity for discharge
arose which I took advantage of, receiving my final papers at the
end of the month, my rank at the time of discharge being the
same in which I was originally commissioned.
I returned to my old position with White, Weld & Company
and remained with them for about a year. In February, 1920, I
resigned and joined the firm of Low, Dixon & Company, 37 Wall
Street, as head of their statistical department which is the posi-
tion I am holding at the present time.

AFTER sobering up from Class Day, 191 1, I essayed to assist
aspiring young high school students to get a knowledge of
Chemistry and Phyics. I soon discovered that without my inter-
ference they would progress faster so I returned for two years'
residence at the Harvard Forest School. Having presumably
acquired "a working knowledge of Forestry" at Petersham I was
seized with the wanderlust, packed up my kit and took a berth
as "Uncle Sam's handy man" on a Forest Ranger District in
southern New Mexico. My headquarters at Pinon were seventy-
five miles from a railroad. Here I "batched" for a year before
being transferred to Flagstaff, Arizona. I stayed at the Fort
Valley Experiment Station at Flagstaff for a year on forest re-
search work but in April, 1917, I craved a view of the northwest
and got an assignment as Forest Examiner in charge of Insect
CLASS OF 1911— DECENNIAL REPORT 471
Control work in Montana and Idaho with headquarters at Mis-
soula, Montana. About this time I acquired the title of benedict,
thereby retiring from the wholesale stamp business. (My wife
lived in Boston.) After a few months of skirmishes with forest
fires and Dcndroctonus beetles I got warmed up to the fighting
game and as there was an S. A. T. C. unit at Missoula I signed
up in September 1918 to be near home while training. My dis-
charge came before I had a chance to be court-martialed or cited
for bravery so as a private I returned to civil life in December,
1918, as innocent of military tactics as I had been in September.
I then treked down to Texas and here I seem to be rooted. My
menage is at 4620 26th Street, Bryan, while my business address
is at College Station. As Assistant State Forester I now boss
countless thousands — of young trees and countless other thou-
sands yet unborn, (or is it unsproiited ? ) .

LUIS HUMBERTO BOURONCLE
[Continued from page 43.]
I WAS sent to the States by the Peruvian Government. Upon
my return to Peru I served in the school system and under
the Government as Superintendent of primary schools, at Puno
first and at Arequipa later, holding this last position until 191 5, the
year in which the superintendencies of schools were suppressed.
I was then appointed Head Master of San Ramon High School
in Ayacucho where I stayed until 1918 and, in 1919, I was pro-
moted to San Juan High School of Trujillo as Head Master also.
This year, under the American professors who have come to the
country to reorganize our school system I am going to be ap-
pointed, by the recommendation of Professor Bard, Director
General of Education, Assistant General Director and hope to
take charge of that position shortly.
It is hard to judge by myself the kind of work I have done
during the last ten years, but I presume it must have been some-
what good for I have always been promoted to better positions
and I am highly placed among my colleagues in the country and
some people and the Government consider me as a good element
in the field of education. I may enumerate, however, the princi-
pal things I have done. While in Puno I organized and presided
over the first Regional Educational Congress of Normalistas
(graduates of the Normal School) held in Arequipa. As Super-
intendent of schools of this last city I founded a teacher's library,
a pedagogical review, two summer schools for teachers (com-
pletely new then, here), established regular teachers' meetings and
school discipline, stimulated the construction of school buildings
and inspected the schools periodically notwithstanding the enor-
mous zone in which they were scattered. I also introduced Scout-
craft and founded the first troop of Boy Scouts. In the High
School of Ayacucho I introduced basketball and tennis, completely
unknown there ; introduced also modern methods of teaching and
brought up a school spirit that did a good deal for the betterment
of the school. In Trujillo, besides introducing better methods of
teaching I have established the Postal Savings Bank for pupils,
manual training, baseball, basketball, opening exercises, Boy
Scouts and fine spirit among pupils and graduate students.
