Yalemen who were in college just before the War remembered Stod King's brilliant undergraduate record, how he impressed people at first as a swart plain-spoken Westerner careless about clothes, how he joined Zeta Psi (next to worst of the five fraternities then in existence*), went on working his way to become managing editor of the News...
