Military Academy at West Point where-a tall, stalwart, one-time Virginia halfback, an able golfer, tennis player and rider-to-hounds-he is much admired and respected.

His students admire his strong face and square shoulders (he played football at Marlborough). His fine, sonorous voice commands their rapt attention at every Leaving Address.
