~ ESPITE the boosted simplicity
of old Harvard, that seat of
AZ learning possesses n coterie OF
wealthy students who in their
mode Of living vie with the most
sybarltical youth Of the aristocracy
of the countries Of the old 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 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 $50O,0OO OO0-this, Of course, not
in their own right, but as representing
the amount they viii inherit from
nj ath
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 dormitories
along Mount Auburn and Bow street
is known in Cambridge. These dormi
tories were erected as the result OF
private enterprise, In which G. ID. Wet
more of New York was the leading
spirit. Westmorely, Randolph. Rus
sell and Claverly halls are the names
of these handsome apartment houses
for that is what they really are-ir
which the gilded youth Of the univer
sity live as luxuriously as do their ia
theirs and elder brothers in their OWL
palatial residences and clubs.
Cruisers Along Gold Coast"
The most exclusive of these dormi
tories is Westmorely Court. Here
lives the youth who Is reputed to bt
the richest student in Harvard in his
own right as we'll 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
most wealth. He has between $50,
100000 and S3O,0OO,00O and is credited
with possessing an allowance Of some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000 year
He is third year man in the law
school, of studious habits and leading
a very safe and sane existence. Un
like a large number of his friends IL
the university, he Is without the lux
ury of a motorcar. but he is charged
with the extravaganza Of using soaI
that costs $3.50 box Of three cakes.
The prince of the blood is Jaisin
Gaekwar, son of the king Of Barods
and one of the most interesting per
sonalities in the student roll. To hi
intimates he is known as Jake" ant

Philadelphia, Harvard's star secon'

Another Of Westmorely's richest resi-
dents is Pierre Abreu, freshman
son of Mrs. Rosilia Abreu of Palan
tino, Havana, Cuba, and Of New Yorl
and Paris also. Abreu enjoys an in

Gently added to his comfort and en-
joyment by the purchase Of a $500
automobile. Then there is J. Franci
Flanagan, son Of the Boston stock
broker, who holds the college recor
by owning eight motorcars of variou
types. He worries along on $4,000
year. His father also has the automc
bile mania and owns the largest garag
in New England as well as the fines
private swimming pool.
