TRAGEDIES At H4RP4RD.
Seuen Student Deaths, Some Of
Them Mysterious.

Cambridge Mass May (SpeciaD.-The disap-
pearance of William Scollay WhitweIl from Har-
ward recently shows more than ever that college
life with all its glamour, has its tragic side.
yVh;sue was wealthy, popular, prominent-the
son OF one Of NETWORKS best families memner
of Harvard's wealthiest and most exclusive soce-
.ies-a senior who. in few short months, TO
have received the reward of four hard years of
effort-his Crimson degree Apparently he had
everything to live for yet at the very moment
when his happiness seemed greatest and hope
seemed highest he declared-and it is feared may
executed-his intention or bringing miserable
existence to end.
VVhitwell was a tall good natured fellow, stand
ing six feet two in his stocking feet and weighing
close to two hundred pounds. No would have
taken him to be OF a Respondent nature, for he
always entered into college activities with the
greatest zest and apparently cheerful and
happy in whatever he undertook. In his freshman
year he rowed the '03 crew, and last fall after
two years faithful service the gridiron. he
his football HI by following Barnard right
guard in the last half of the HarvardYale football
game at New Haven. AS natural consequence of
this prominence. Whitweli was in great social de-
mand at Harvard. He member of the Insti-
tute of the Delta Chi of the Hasty Pudding and
of several other societies, and was well known
one OF the most popular men in his class. Hence
it was exceedingly strange that he should have de-
cided that life was not worth living and. in note
TO Matthew Hale, his roommate should have de-
clared his intention 10 commit suicide by throwing
himself off the FAN River steamboat.
Whitwelrs mysterious disappearance recalls six
other tragic deaths of Harvard undergraduates
Charles r. Starbuck, OF Andover. last year
drowned himself in q milpond by throwing himself
in with his pockets filled with stones Starbuck
was a sophomore. and like Whitwen. apparently
had everything to live for The deed was COM
mitted in Andover near his own home.
Another sudden death which occurred at Harvard
recently land. in fact. the seven deaths here
toned have all within the recollection of any
present day junior was that OF Edwin G. Rich,
who fell frcm the fourth story OF Weld Hall. Some
say that Rich sitting in his window seat. and
became dizzy; others that he trying crawl
along the cornice. to get FROM his own room into
that OF the student adjoining II.
In this instance I'm the of Whitweli.

seems to be the mnonaires' target Standing
among their Golfers the rich men of America have
for the last two years been selling great handlus
gold and silver and. with big hearted sportive-
ness been throwing the changing metal at the
Crimson shield.
1t is a new and an interesting game-a game that
has grown more and more popular as time has al
vanced. Like yachting and horse polo and auto
mobile racing it belongs essentially to millionaires
and for that very reason, perhaps, has been taken
up with greater enthusiasm than other more trivial
games At any rate, Harvard, like Dickens's
"Barkis' sis willin'.' The old shield is strong
and solid and it will consent to act target as
long as the generous gifts continue to come And
as at the present time. there seems TO be no dim
mutton of interest this may be safely prophesied
to continue until Harvard like old King Midas
will lie surfeited with gold.
Never in the history of the institution have so
MANY gifts been received during the last two
wears Mr. Rockefeller, Mr.. Morgan and a score
of other millionaires have contributed to the list
until at a conservative estimate the grand total
swels up nearly s450o,oO.
The gifts embrace every conceivable interest
One class gives 1900 for a huge heap or brick
stones and mortar on Soldiers Field-a heap which
will brave snow rain and sunshine. and once in
two years be filed to its full capacity of 5000
wildly excited football spectators The heap is
called an athletic stadium. and will cost, in ALL
something like s50,0oo Of which the remaining s5O'-
900 has been raised from the recent proceeds OF
Harvard football games.
Somewhat the antithesis of this is the gift for a
baby hospital mot meant for Harvard students
except perhaps, in their embryonic state), which
will st Some time be erected in Brookne in con-
uection with the new medical school. In this hos
ptal will found baby ncubators, which Will turn
out infants like downy chicks, together with all
the other araphernalia necessary for the develop
ment of this necessary a brood.
Still another entirely different use Of money is
made in tire small gift of $1,000 the income from
which is to be used in identifying the college
grounds Already under the direction of skilled
Iandscape architects the authorities using this
money in planting shrubbery. wistaria. vines and
trees about the college yard, which work. when
completed will transform the old campus into a
garden OF paradise.

ALL ABOARD FOR SUNDERLAND!
There's boat that sails at half-past six
From the busy port of Play,
And it reaches the haven Of Sunderland
Before the close of day.
The boatswain whistles SO low and sweet
1Aike a mothers lullaby
That the travellers smile and close their ewes
To dream of angels nigh.
Sometimes the travellers tarry too long
In the busy port of Play,
And the anxious beatman coaxes and calls
And grieves at their delay.
The name Of the boat is Rock ABLY, - ssz#si
And it's guided by mothers hand,
For she is the patient boatman, dear,
Who takes you to Sunderland.
Now. what is the fare traveller pays
So On a Rock ABBY boat like this?
\ Why the poorest child can afford the price,
For it's only goodnight kiss. SIS
