AS there was no society slate at the
pIa
officers for 1902. the list of those elect
ed represents pretty accurately how
the class feels about it's leaders.
The college careers of these men nave
been active there is not one man on
the list whose only qualifications were
that he came from an "early enroll
ment" school, with a good list of fei-
lows of whom he was the most royalty
good fellow.
The first man on the list is "Dave"
Campbell captain of the eleven which
beat Yale 22--0. He came from Worces-
ter Academy, was practically unknown
with few friends, but much football
He did not belong to the Polo Club in
his freshman year, but belonged to the
freshmen eleven, which he captained,
and to the freshmen crew, on which he
rowed No. 2.
AT the end of four years, Dave"
Campbell is the possessor of the high
est honor which it is possible for Har-
ward to offer-first marshal. by big
majority. When any good man in an
ordinary school wonders whether there
is a place for him at Harvard, the ca
reer of Campbell will tell him that 1t
is in his power to get the highest place,
whether he is the possessor of a May
flower" name or not.
Campbell will be at the Medical
School the next four years and valu-
able coach as well, on Soldiers Field.

ident Edison Lewis. Campbell's great
achievement this fall alone snatched
the first place from Lewis. Lewis has
been one of the most faithful men on
the field, year after year. He was cap
tain of the second team this fall, whose
spirited work throughout the season
was constantly commented upon. Lewis
did not get his H the sophomore or
Junior year, but he kept working away
just the same. He was popular in his
class and he has done much more for it
than any one imagines. He is hard
worker. He is a member of the Hasty
Pudding, the A. D. Club, the Institute
and Dickey. He was at one time in the
Fencers' Club. He is from st. Mark 5.

tain of the track team. Willis was a
great friend of Jack" HallOwell. He

ia Phi and the New Jersey Club. He
was the first man to be taken out OF
the Institute and the Dickey.
At the international university meet
in New York in September, Willis gave

might be put in, improving Harvards S
