HARRY LORD WELLS We started this series of biographical sketches with proper formality, drawing on Dr. Lewis and Mr. Mowat for facts and phrases. But we have been getting more and more informal all the time, until we have arrived at the youngest member of the Board of Managers, where we aren ' t quite so afraid of failing to preserve the right decorum. Mr. Wells is the Alumni representative. The Alumni do not have the formal privilege of nominating a member of the Board, but the old boys are tickled to death to see somebody of their own age admitted to the solemn conclaves of the graybeards. Which reminds us that there isn ' t a beard in the whole distinguished bunch. Mr. Wells succeeds his father, Mr. Addison Wells. In private life — that ' s what they say about actors — Harry Lord Wells is secretary of the Wells Brothers Construction Company. So this builder has come in to help build the future Lewis Institute, and may he live to see the dreams of all the loyal Alumni come true. He has one very great advantage over all other Alumni — he married the charming daughter of Judge Kohlsaat. Helen Kohlsaat Wells is what they call persona grata to everybody. Twenty-one
