Athletic Committee at Final Meeting Votes Eight Golf "H's" to Former Intercollegiate Champions, 1899 to 1916

If J. F. Curtis '99, returns to Cambridge this month for his twenty-fifth reunion, he will find that he has just been awarded a golf "H" by the Athletic Committee for winning the Intercollegiate Golf Championship 26 years ago.

This action was taken by the Athletic Committee at its final meeting of the year on Wednesday evening. Several months ago, the Committee had awarded a golf "H" to R. T. Jones Jr. '24, for winning this year's championship; and at the meeting on Wednesday, it voted to make the award to the eight Harvard men who had won previous championships. Of these men Mr. Curtis, who won his championship in 1898, is the eldest.

Since his graduation, Mr. Curtis has followed a successful career as a lawyer and financier. From 1909 until 1913, he served as an assistant secretary of the Treasury; and in 1914 he became counsel and deputy governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Since his retirement from public life in 1919, he has been a member of prominent private law firms in New York.

The remaining seven graduates who will receive the golf "H" for winning championships in past years are; Halstead Lindsley '02, in 1901; H. C. Egan '05, in 1902; A. L. White '06, in 1904; H. H. Wilder '09, in 1908; F. C. Davidson '13, in 1912; E. P. Allis '15, in 1914; and J. W. Hubbell '17, in 1916.
