Mike was enrolled as a student of engineering in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. One of his intimates at Harvard was Henri do Castellane. Mike had introduced himself. "Old man," he said, "I find we are cousins." Mike gained many other interesting friends, some of whom are still...
...Mike quit the hotel. In November, 1923, he quit Harvard. He had been summoned to the University office, where many documents were laid before him. These indicated that he was not a Romanoff, that his current name was unknown at Eton or Oxford, and that he had bilked many students, professors, and tradespeople.
