WILLIAM AvERELL HARTMAN.

no outward promise of athletic ability
Regardless of that he Immediately set
about making Il place for himself on
the freshmen crew and succeeded.
Just as he was ready for his first
boat race his physician ordered him to
give up rowing for gOod-a stunning
blow, but Hartman did not let it down
him. He began studying Craftsmanship
scientifically. with the result that at
the end of his second year he was ap-
pointed coach of the freshman crew.
When his work with that crew was
finished everybody agreed that it was
the best crew of beginners any coach
had turned out for Yale in many years.
Having easily mastered his studies,
Hartman obtained Il furlough about a
year ago and went to England to study
the stroke Of the Oxford and Cam
bridge crews, Shortly after his return
to Yale in the fall he was made head
coach of the varsity crew.
Only one other Yale man ever won
that distinction while an undergradu-
ate. He was Bob Cook, who was a
student at Yale in the seventies.
Cooks crew won.
Harriman's work as a student has
been brilliant. He has mastered his
studies and has had plenty of time left
for social duties and recreation.
His daily life at Yale is regulated by
a strict routine, and ms is n very busy
day
In the evening he studies and attends
! to his social duties. He always is
present at the rites of Skull and Bones
on Thursday and Saturday evenings
and at least one night a week he goes
to the Psi Epsilon tomb, where less
secrecy obtains than at the Skull an(
Bones quarters.
In spite of the interest Hartman
takes in the societies as features o
college life. he is not naturally sympa
thetic toward the secrecy practiced b!
the fraternities.
When Hartman leaves college b
> will Immediately take up the study o
practical subjects to fit him for hi
fathers place in the business world.
The idIeness in which many anothe
young man of wealth might choose t
enjoy himself does not appeal to Wi
liam AvereII Hartman. He not onl
: wants to work, but he wants to be

which will make his name and reputs
ton as great as those of his father.
Obstacles do not dishearten him.

This viii give all exhibitors ample time

Those who have watched the prog

far ahead of former great international
expositions. All details of the big
show have been worked out, and it is
estimated that when the buildings are
pronounced ready for occupancy at

on the fair.
BY next fall the work of construc-
ton will be at it's height. and from
then on, as the buildings are complet-
