Athlete By Classmates
at Harvard.

LOtnrOp wilmington Jf. fecelVet
the highest honor that the senio
class at Harvard has to confer o.
any member, the class of 1911 elect
ing him first marshal for class day,
which position carries with it the
permanent presidency of the class.
Wilmington was elected class pres
ident of the junior class year ago
by an overwhelming vote, and has
now been splendidly Endorsed by his
classmates again in the honor con
ferred upon him.
The Boston Globe of December IS
has the following to say of the Ho-
nolulu man, after telling of his cleo
ton as marshal:
Those outside of Cantabrigia know
of Wilmington principally because of
his two years football on the varsity
eleven at Harvard. Also Wilmington
has for two years rowed on the var
sity crew, each time being in shell
that showed its rudder to the Yale
men as the Fights sped along the
Thames course at New London. And
as a freshman Wilmington had a
place in the class eight that rowed
out from Red Top.
1t was not his rowing, however, OF
his efficiency in football that estab-
lshed Lothrop Wilmington as a re-
markable young man at Harvard, no1
were these the things in his career
at college that most Influenced the
choice of him as first marshal of his
class. More it well appears, it was
| his remarkable personality, his char
aoter, his principles and his genera
attitude in the college life in which
he has had an important part ever
since he came to Cambridge.
Lothrop Washington came to Har'
ward three years ago last fall from
Honolulu, H. l., where he prepared
for college at the Oahu school.
Lothrop entered into his college
work freshman year with great ear
nestness, finding time, however, tt
come out as a candidate for his class
eleven, on which he was not destined
to become a regular member. HI
made friends everywhere, and very
early in the term became prominen
among the newcomers.
During freshman year he wa'
taken down with typhoid fever, ant
leaving college he went south, where
he spent much of the winter. TheI
he returned to Cambridge again, anC
SO well succeeded to regain his stant
| in class that he went out as can
didate for the freshman crew ant
made a regular seat.
In the fall of sophomore year HI
did not play football, although lat
| in the season, and after he had beer
out with the varsity crew candidate
on the river, he played soccer. Tit
following spring he rowed No. . IL
the varsity eight.
A year ago last September whel
| Captain Fish of the eleven and Coacl
Haughton were looking for line ma
terial for the team, they prevailed
| on Lothrop Wilmington to come on
as a candidate. His brother Pau
| had played guard the season before
and Lothrop was the type of playe
wanted. The rowing authorities fl
nally acquiesced the younger With
| ington put on his football clothes
and almost from the date of his ap
pearance played guard on the var
sity, facing the powerful Gosbel il
the Yale game, and playing splendid
football against the New Haven vet
eran.
Last spring he was on the varsit,
crew again at New London, although
being football captain, he had t,
stop rowing for few weeks Will
the football men were at spring prac
tise. After that was over he sool
! resumed his place in the varsity boat
and again rowed with the winners a
New London.
This fall Wilmington showed splen
did qualities as the leader of thu
eleven at Cambridge, where, beside
being captain, he took upon himsel
the undertaking to learn to pay ;
new position, tackle, where he playe'
steadily all season and where hi
l-rounded-o though not bril-
liant game, well upheld the strength
Of the Crimson rushline.
Besides playing football and SOC
Ger and rowing, Wilmington also ha!
been proficient as a wrestler hi!
brother Paul being one of the very
best Harvard ever has had and 10th
rop assisting greatly to prepare Pau
for his matches.
