...laboratory and workbench. As a youngster at Groton, school for rich men's sons, Charlie Lawrance neglected his language classes in favor of mathematics, started building an automobile. As a Yale freshman in 1901 he and a class mate and a Harvard friend completed the car and drove it-the second ever seen in Cambridge, Mass. Because he did riot have to work for his living, young Mr. Lawrance could devote the years after graduation to research, experiment with motors and study in Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
