CLARENDON. Va, June 25.-Proud-

he has just received for athletic achieve
ments So years ago, while student ct
Massachusetts, Agriculture College
Henry Bell Simpson, 10, sits in his
boathouSe, which he conducts on this
side of the Potomac within eyesight OF
the Key Bridge, reliving in memory
exciting events of bygone college days
One of Mr.. Simpsons letters was
awarded for the glory he brought to M
A. G. as q member of the college base
ball team and the other for his work
scored decisive victory over Harvard
and Brown in one of the most thrilling
races ever rowed on the Connecticut
River. Sharing with Mr.. Simpson in
this latter and belated honor is George
Leonard of Springfield, Mass They are
the only two surviving members of that
famous crew, which, 1t is said, made
the college renowned in the early days
Of its history.
Crews Lighter In Old Days.
In those days, according to Mr.. Simp-
son, who despite his advanced age can
be frequently seen rowing his boat about
the upper Potomac with as much ease
and grace as he did in II, crews were
much lighter than they are today, the
average weight of his outfit being LAG
pounds, and they were composed Of six
men instead of eight as Is the fashion OF
today.
Soon after the crew Of which Mr..
Simpson was a member won its signal
victory and upset the predictions of all
the experts, rowing was discontinued as
q sport at the college because. of the
distance of the school from the Con-
necticut River, which handicapped prac-
tice. In those days the awarding of
letters to athletes was not the vogue.
The athletic authorities at the col
lege at recent meeting decided that
no athletes were more deserving of
recognition than members of the III
crew, who startled the country by de-
feating two of the greatest college crews
of the East, They therefore agreed that
varsity certificates, corresponding to the
varsity letter now given to all "Aggie''
students who distinguish themselves on
teams OF their alma mater, should be
awarded to the two survivors of the
crew.
Text Of Certificate.
The crew certificate forwarded to Mr..
Simpson reads: This is to certify that
Henry Bell Simpson has been q member
Of the crew of the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural College and is entitled to wear
an M on his cap and sweater" It is
believed that Messrs. Simpson and
Leonard are the oldest living letter men
on the alumni list of the college
After being graduated from Massa-
chusetts "Aggie" Mr.. Simpson became
free lancer in the insurance busi-
ness, which he continued to follow until
about IL years ago when the urge to
be near the water, which he says never
left him since his crew days, took COM
plete possession of him, resulting in the
building of the boathouse which he now
occupied alone as home and where he
conducts small business. He married
at an early age, his wife dying about
two years ago. He has no children.
