Leaving college in 1903, I sailed for England and spent the summer a la hobo in England, Scotland and Wales. In the autumn I retired to Groton School, Groton, Mass., where, for two years, I lived the life of a rustic schoolmaster, spending most of my time being a boy again with the boys. For a good time it was, almost equal to Princeton. The summer of 1905 I spent abroad a la automobile, my expenses being paid. For the three years, 1905-08, I became a Harvard man, while studying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Philology. During this time I filled several minor offices in that University-studied the question of solidarity vs. individuality, and became more than ever convinced that, however good Harvard is for the graduate student, the Princeton college idea is the best. In June, 1908, Harvard bestowed on me the degree of Ph.D. and shipped me abroad for one year as Hooper Travelling Fellow, the highest Fellowship in the gift of the University. It is my privilege to study English influences on Scandinavian Literature in the middle ages. I shall spend the year in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway; my address is Den Danske Landmandsbank, Copenhagen, Denmark. I long to see a Princeton face, but it is unlikely. I enclose the biography of D. Miner Rogers, who may be in Turkey by this time. Wishing you all success, Howard, and sending my best regards to all the fellows when you see them, Sincerely yours, Henry Goddard Leach. Arthur C.
