Copey fans all over the country have sent congratulatory messages and gifts to the self-styled "champion survivor" of the Faculty, who was 84 yesterday.

The last of Harvard's living traditions, Copey expects to be round when students return to complete their interrupted education. The College will be unchanged, he predicts, but it will not include a great many men now expecting to come back.

"A considerable number won't return, although they now think they will," he said. "It's difficult to return to academic rules, having your days planned by other people, when you've been out on your own."
