LT. COL. TUTTLE LEAVES STUDIES

Because he likes "to work with men and to watch organizations grow," Lt. Col. A.L. Tuttle, USA, Retired, quit Harvard recently to accept an appointment at Father Flanagan's Boys' Town, at Omaha, Nebraska, where he will head a military training unit. Registered as a first-term Freshman, Lt. Col. Tuttle was at 60 the oldest undergraduate at Harvard.

While he hopes eventually to win a degree, the widower (he has several children) is not concerned with the loss of academic credit that acceptance of the appointment will involve. By studying 60 hours a week on his three courses. Philosophy Aa, English 1a, and Government 4a, Lt. Col. Tuttle has "gained something that he would not sell for $10,000." His previous formal education was stopped before high school, but he has "read a lot in Greek drama, Roman drama, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and the Bible, with a few detective novels thrown in."

In the Army for 35 years, Lt. Col. Tuttle served as professor of military science and tactics at the University of Puerto Rico, Syracuse University, the University of Akron, and other schools.
