Lt. H. L. Whitney '20 Killed

Recent news has been received of the death of Lieutenant Holyoke Lewis Whitney '20, of Dedham. He was serving with the 109th Infantry and was killed by accident in France on November 25.

Lieutenant Whitney was twenty-one years of age and prepared at St. Mark's School, where he received his first military training. Upon entering Harvard in the fall of 1916, he immediately became prominent in athletics and played on the Freshman eleven in the Yale game. He joined the R. O. T. C. in the summer of 1917 and went to Plattsburg for further military training. Returning to College in the fall of the same year, he again took an active part in athletics and made the University eleven and the crew.

On Jan. 5, 1918, he went to the Officers' Training Camp at Camp Upton, but a few months later decided to finish his military training on the other side, and after training overseas for a time, was commissioned second lieutenant.
