After spending a year in a "regular" Navy, "Art" came to Brown to give "he-man" atmosphere to the Brown "dry-land-Navy" of 1918. Being a restless individual and craving excitement, he got himself a berth on the Varsity and proceeded to assist them in defeating Harvard and Dartmouth. Things were too quiet for him on the campus, following the Armistice, so he plunged into the outer circles of darkness. He returned to the regions of light in 1920 and assisted the Freshman football squad to pile up victories. Injuries prevented his having a promising career in athletics in 1921 and 1922. A versatile athlete and a "regular" fellow, we have no fears concerning the outcome of your battle with the world. All we hold is well wishes. Be good, "Art".
