continuing his college career or Of
getting only IS a week with board and

Runners Up" For Winpenny.
While it is generally conceded that
Winpenny is the richest man in the
university, he Is run good second by
William Aston Drayton, relative Of
John Jacob Aston. Drayton, mem
Der Of the exclusive Union club Of
| New York. has private fortune es-
timated at from $S.O0O,0O0 to $4,000
GOO, from which he has an allowance
Of $4,000 year during his college
days. He has decided penchant for
automobile rides, which are said to
cost him about 5000 a month, and a
pretty taste in seascapes, with which
the walls of his apartment are cover
ed. Many of the pictures he acquired
in Europe last summer when he and
a party of friends crossed the ocean
in forty-five foot sloop.
Drayton lives at Randolph Hall,
where he has as neighbors Henry
Cary Morgan and j. s. Morgan, Jr,
both relatives Of J. Pierpont Morgan;
Morgan Belmont, son Of August Bel
mont; William Glover Rueter Of the
brewery family of that name; Doug
las Lawson. son of Tom Lawson, and
John Angus Milholland, brother Of
Miss Inez Milholland. the militant suf-
fragette of Vassar.
In Russell Hall there is Herbert
WeitZel Of Detroit, who is on footing
with Winpenny and Drayton as re-
CARDS his allowance, which is sos, 900.
Weitzel has planned n European au-
tomobile trip for this summer and has
already engaged passage on the liver
mia for himself and two automobiles
Geoff Biddle Of Philadelphia, brother
Of Tony Biddle, the society boxer, and
himself no mean exponent Of the man
ly art, also lives in Russell.
While there are not quite so many
rich men in Claverley as in the other
dormitories along the Gold Coast"
that hall has the distinction Of shelter
ing Kermit Roosevelt. son Of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. Kermit probably
has a smaller income than any man in
the four exclusive halls, but what he
lacks in money he makes up in popu-
larity.
"Gold Coasters Advantages.
1t is the general belief of the public
that all Harvard students eat together
in Memorial Hall, or Randolph, but this
is not so as regards the Coast resi-
dents. In each Of the four exclusive
dormitories named there are large din
ing rooms where the men have their
meals or else enjoy something brought
in from expensive caterers in the Sc
clusion of their own apartments. All
the dormitories have swimming pools.
Comfortable lounging rooms are fur
nished with luxurious divans and easy
chairs, while potted plants and palms,
pictures, etc, lend an air of luxury.
Another advantage enjoyed by the
Gold Coasters" is that in each dor
mitory are located tutors, some of
them former instructors in the univer-
sity. who have a wonderful way of
forecasting just about what questions
will be asked at the midyear and final
examinations. Their services come
high. but they can start on man only
two or three weeks before exams"
and pull him through with passable
marks, so they are indispensable.
In the night life Of Boston the "Gold
Coasters" cut quite swath. The the.
nters and the more exclusive restau-
rants know them. and it is even whis-
pered that the temples Of the goddess
Of chance are not unacquainted with
some OF them.
