~ EsPITE the boosted simplicity
of old Harvard, that seat of
learning possesses eoterie Of
wealthy students who in their
mode of living vie with the most
sybaritical youth of the aristocracy
Of the countries of the cid world.
Not for them the plain fare and the
modest rooms of the dormitories in
the yard" but handsomely furnished
apartments, dainty food prepared by
chefs Of reputation, Wallets, motorcars
and q dozen other luXuries of life.
! 1t has been estimated that included
in the 1900 students in the university
there are perhaps 400 of them whose
combined wealth will some day ex-
coed 100000 O00-this, of course, not
In their own right, but as representing
the amount they viii inherit from
their parents and other relatives.
| 1t is this fortunate 400 who eschew
the simplicity of the yard and go to
make up the population of the Gold
Coast as the group of dormitorfes
along Mount Auburn and Bow street
is known in Cambridge. These dorni-
tories were erected as the result OF
private enterprise, in which G. d. Wet
more of New York was the leading
spirit. Westmorely, Randolph. Rus
sell and C1averly halls are the names
of these handsome apartment houses
for that is what they really are-in
which the gilded youth Of the univer-
sity i've as luxuriously as do their ia
Tiers and elder brothers In their own
palatial residences and clubs.
Cruisers Along "Gold Coast
The most exclusive Of these dorIni-
tories is Westmorely Court. Here
lives the youth who is reputed to be
the richest student in Harvard in his
own right as well as prince of the
ROYAL blood, and among them all they
are the possessors of thirty automo-
biles. Marshall s. Winpenny of Phila-
delphia is the one credited with the
HaesE wnalth He has between S25,-
coo. 900 and $4,000, 900 and is credited
with possessing an allowance of some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000 a year.
He is third year man in the law
school, of gtudious habits and leading
very safe and sane existence. In
like a large number Of bis friends IN
the university, he is without the lux
ury of a motorcar, but he is charged
with the extravaganza Of using soap
that costs $3.50 a box Of three cakes.
The prince Of the blood is Jaisint
Gaekwar. son of the king of Baroda
and one of the most interesting per-
sonalities in the student roll. To his
/ intimates he is known as Jake. and
he managed without any difficulty to
spend something Ike $4,000 a year on
his personal needs when he first went
to Cambridge. Indeed, so hot a pace
did the young man set that his Amer
lean guardian, Professor E. G. Bum
nus of the Museum Of Natural History
in New York, called a halt on his ex-
travagance and had his allowance cut
down to a pitiful $125 month. A
personal guardian was also placed over
Jake in the person of Bob Potter OF
Philadelphia, Haryard's star second
baseman, to whom his prineeship must
report daily.
/ Another Of Westmorely's richest resi-
dents is Pierre Abreu, a freshman,
son of Mrs. Rosilia Abreu of Palan-
tho, Havana, Cuba, and Of New York
and Paris also. Abreu enjoys an in
come Of $4,000 a year and has re
Gently added to his comfort and en-
joyment By the purchase Of a $4,000
automobile Then there is j.. Francis
Flanagan, son Of the Boston stock
broker. who holds the college record
by owning eight motorcars of various
types. He worries along on $4,000 q
year. His father also has the automo-
bile mania and owns the largest garage
in New England as well as the finest
private swimming pool.
Romance In Exclusive Hall
Westmorely also had the distinction
OF housing two young men who got
into the public prints BIZ being princi-
pals In more or less romantic elope-
ments. One Of them, Nelson Gammans
son OF Mrs. G. G. Gammans of Port.

and married Mrs Mary Guiffre. former
wife Of Rufus Gaynor. son Of Mayor
Gaynor of New York. It was not pop

promptly tied her purse strings, with
the result that young Ganlnans had
10 ga to work to support his wife. Ia
