Struck by a hit-and-run driver as he was bicycling along the Worcester Turnpike near Southboro on his way to Princeton, Richard G. Wheeler '38, 1G died last night in the office of a Shrewsbury doctor where he was taken from the scene of the accident.
The two students only decided to make the Princeton jaunt yesterday afternoon and left at 4 o'clock. The accident occurred at 6:15. Although both were experienced bicyclists, it is thought that Wheeler's machine was not properly lighted for travel at night.
Friends here notified Wheeler's nearest relative in this country, his uncle, George Kurzman, a New York lawyer. His mother, Mrs. George Turner, lives abroad in Paris. His father was killed in an automobile accident in Germany eight years ago.
President Conant's cat met severe injury in its posterior quarters last night. No one seemed to know how the cat weathered the injury or how the accident occurred.
