of Lothrop Withingtons is probably
about as well known outside college
circles as by his associates at Har-
ward, and possibly would be enough
to bring him sufficient popularity to
assure him the highest hOnors in the
lass election which he has just
aiken; but what he has done in Har-
ard sports is small in comparison
With what he has accomplished as
undergraduate in college, and the
lace he has made in the hearts of
lis friends and in the regard of his
cquaintances.
President Lowell said in en- adj
ress prior to the Harvard Yale foot
Jall game that the classroom stand
ard set by the players on this years
eleven was higher than that of any
previous Harvard team. And the
captain possibly was particularly in
Guided in this compliment. For
Lothrop Wilmington, notwithstand-
ing that he had lost almost a third
Of a years work because of his
ickness while a freshman, not only
regained standing in his class almost
Immediately. but last June had pass
ed off half a course more THAI was
necessary for him to secure his A. Il.
degree Therefore, when he is grad
uated in June he will have done
much more than the college requires
for its degree.
Wilmington always has been fac
tor in college activities. He has
been keen supporter of the relig-
ious side of college life, entering
heartily into the work of the Phil
| lips Brooks house association At
one time he had a class of small boys
at the Ruggles street Neighb; rhood
house in Boston, and many times has
he been selected as the Harvard man
| to speak before gatherings of young
men at high and preparatory schools.
This fall he was selected as the Sc
Nor to address the incoming fresh
man class with President Lowell. He
is president of the student council,
which this winter is being splendid
| ly reorganized; he is undergraduate
president of the Harvard Varsity
| Club, the members of which all are
present and past varsity athletes, and
it was mainly through his efforts
that the class committee last year
gained permission from President
| Lowell to have the rooms in the COL
lege yard assigned to seniors allotted
by the committee instead of through
the purser's office.
Wilmington holds membership in
many of Harvard's) most desirable
clubs AMI societies, yet he is not a
clubman. His friends are to be
J found in every walk of college and
university life. He boards at Memo
rial, lives in Hollis Hall, which, in
passing, holds many prominent Sc
niors this year, and his intercourse
tied to any group or groups Of men.
He is a member of the d. X. E.
and Institute of 1870, of the Hasty
| Pudding Club, Di Gamma and Signet.
the latter being the literary society
of the undergraduates. He is not
connected with the editorial boards
of any of the college publications,
although in a recent issue Of the
Harvard monthly there appeared a
! straightforward and welwritten ar
ticle on the football of 1910 over
bis signature.
Wilmington has not been obliged
| to work his own way through col
lege, although last summer he was
engaged in tutoring. He numbers
however, among his friends many q
| fellow whom he has helped ty ad-
vice and encouragement to meet
daily tasks and to overcome condi-
tions that have been hard and dis
couraging. 1t is to be regretted that
in word must thus be passed over
a characteristic that has stamped him
as a man, a Christian and friend
among his associates.
He will take his college degree n
June and next fall will enter the
