Bowie '04 Knew Ability of F.D.R.

I should like to say that the CRIMSON'S worth to me included these two clear things among others: experience and friends. The necessity, as a CRIMSON candidate, to chase around the college scene and try to pick up news gave an acquaintance with Harvard facts and persons which otherwise a Freshmen would not have had. Writing articles both as a candidate and later on as a editor gave at least a little insight into the techniques of a newspaper. Added to this was the companionship with a highly congenial group of fellow editors which, nearly throughout my time on the paper and during the period of the presidency which we divided in the senior year, included Franklin D. Roosevelt. I am sure none of us them 'foresaw the world prominence to which he would rise, but looking back on those years, one cannot but remember the courageous gaiety of temperament and ability to get on with different kinds of people which were later elements in his immense achievements.
