the love of many men and started his career as a speaker and poetry en- thusiast. From 1905 to the present day he has taught and studied at the Harvard Summer School for Coaches. Urged by his old Pennington friend, Mr. Eugene G. Grace, he came to Lehigh in 1910, first as football coach and the next year as Physical Di- rector. He is full of the Lehigh Spirit. Each man is his friend. It is people who count with him, and especially college boys. The happie.st night of his life wc.s the night of the last Lafayette smoker, when the Ford sedan was given to him by the undergraduate body of Lehigh. He said, It wasn ' t the gift, but when, and how I got it — just before the La- fayette game, after a hard season, with knockers plentiful, and best of all a gift of the boys — His Boys. That Ford is priceless and means more than any other car in the world to him. The signatures of most of the men in college, following the testimonial that went with them is a tribute which time cannot erase. Bosey is altogether simple and playful, interest ed in common things and common people. He has never lost the boy ' s point of view, as his Sand Letters will agree. This plan for the children to see the games free he started because he will never forget how he longed to watch the games at the Athletic Field in Philadelphia. Never having the price of a ticket, Bosey considered himself lucky if he found a crack in the fence big enough to see through. His personality is an influential one and full of stimulating ideals. His chief desire is to give happiness to others and to help each man to develop his own personality to the utmost. Perhaps there is no better way of showing how the students of Lehigh University feel towards their Bosey than the testimonial given to Prof. Reiter at the time of the presentation of the Ford sedan at the last Lafay- ette smoker. This communication reads as follows : To Bosey Reiter: The students of Lehigh University take this occasion to express their personal admiration, love and regard for him as a man ; furthermore, to assure him their solid support in his attitude toward the athletic policies of this University. We feel that he has done every thing possible to make and keep Lehigh athletics clean and spoi ' tsmanlike. This man who, with the deepest honesty and finest sympathy, has aided so many others to climb the hills of college life, we hope will find service and enjoyment in this aid to climb the hills that lie in his daily path.

ohiarb volauii eiter iff OUR years before the Centennial Exhibit of 1876 at Philadel- phia, Howard Roland Reiter (Bosey) was born in that city; but he remembers distinctly some large pink pop-corn balls that he saw at the Fair and longed to possess, and the fear he felt when passing some Indians who were playing a game similar to lacrosse. His early years were strenuous ones. He was extremely diligent and worked hard and long, especially in the summer vacations. Realizing that he wasn t getting the education he wanted and inspired by a Methodist minister, he decided to go to Pennington Seminary in 1890. This was a co-ed school but bashful Bosey — so bashful that he would walk far out of his way rather than speak to a girl he knew — soon passed notes in the sugar bowl, across the table to the girls he most admired. The charming female society soon made even the ever-present PRUNES a joy. Here he began baseball and football, starting the habit of exercise and play which has made up such a large part of his life. From Pennington he entered Princeton in 1894 although his prowess as a school boy athlete made him sought after by other universities. Those were the Hero Days. He was on the championship football teams of 1894, 1896, 1898, and 1899. He was on his class baseball team and was the col- lege champion wrestler of his weight. He was a member of Clio Hall — a literary society — and of Cottage Club. These were the big full days of his life. He did much outside work to make both ends meet, and during his whole course at Princeton, never received a cent from home, but instead helped two brothers in prep school. One story he tells is of his struggle with Latin — evidently most of the class had trouble with it — for when the professor assigned the twenty-fourth book of Quintus Curtius, for which there was no trot, Bosey ' s clever room-mate was persuaded to make a translation of it in advance, Bosey would mimeograph it and take it to the other members of the class. President Patton ' s son was one of the regular recipients and one morning early, when Bosey was cau- tiously putting his copy under the door. President Patton appeared, and with a twinkle in his eve. said Is this the ' Dailv Princetonian, ' Mr. Reiter? After graduation, in 1898, Bosey stayed at college two years more and received his M. A. degree in Philosophy and Psychology. Having the Princeton habit, he was not ready to leave yet, and went through the The- ological School. During his summers he worked as a life guard on the Jersey coast, making many thrilling rescues. Here he developed his body by swimming and rowing almost to perfection, and here, too, he began to fish, which has been the Ruling Passion with him ever since. At Wesleyan College in 1904 he coached football. He was the first coach to teach the overhand spiral pass, suggested to him by seeing Pierce of Carlisle throw an underhand one. The next year he was Physical Director and Coach. He won and lo.st games, as all coaches do, but gained
