The former, nine years out of Yale College, has worked with The Yale University Press and Bobbs-Merrill Co., was National Squash champion in 1922. The latter, up-from-office-boy at Doubleday...
...first citizen of that state to win a Rhodes scholarship. At 27, as president of Kentucky Wesleyan College, he selected chairs for greybeards.
