...break a tradition. They have been broken before, but this one is but another bleeding scalp hitchd to the trophy belt of an abstraction called House-Plan. In deserting the rather too abrupt staircase of a pillared and posted Widener, for the Georgian aplomb of Lowell House Quadrangle, the Glen Club will be more fittingly clad in the eloistored hue of Harvard's more usual garb.

A naval cadet at 15, he was aboard the training ship Hogue when it was torpedoed, was rescued hours later and transferred to the Aboukir which likewise was torpedoed.
