...following men have volunteered for the 1st U. S. Cavalry, the regiment of rough riders in which Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is interested: L. G. Coleman '99, D. M. Goodrich '98, W. M. Scudder '99, S. K. Gerard 1L., S. Hollister 1L., H. J. Holt '98, C. C. Bull '98, G. Murchie 2L., H. Sayre '98, G. H. Scull '98.

Harvard has had many captains who have done these things, but few who have done them as disinterestedly as Goodrich. His final act of self effacement, however necessary it may have seemed to him and to the coaches, can but add to the respect which is felt for him. An undergraduate seldom has a harder thing to do.
