AT HEAD OF CLASS James A. Patten Made High Record at N. U. Preparatory Academy Northwestern university students curious about the scholastic days of the late James A. Patten found the fol- lowing information which was pub- lished in the "Daily Northwestern": "The late James A. Patten was never charged with being a bookworm, but a musty old record of the Preparatory school of Northwestern university for the year 1867-68, unearthed yesterday, reveals that in his youth the financier had a distinct leaning toward the scholastic life. "In his class of twenty-six students, young James A. Patten stood at the head, this old record book shows. He was never quite able to lead the class in Greek, but in the first and third terms. only one man stood ahead of him in this subject. In Latin he stood first in the first term, and in mathematics he led the class by a wide margin in the second term. His record for the year placed him ahead of all the rest. " "This record is in keeping with many investigations that have been made in re- cent years,' said President Walter Dill Scott. 'Those students who in their school days established for themselves a high standard of achievement sustained the standard throughout their professional or business careers.' " "'It was the ambition of the youthful James A. Patten to be graduated from the collegiate department of Northwest- ern university, but because of lack of financial support he was compelled to abandon this desire. It is not strange that in the intervening years he felt great sympathy for college students who have been compelled to earn their way through college." " Mrs. Jack Leimert (Virginia Hed- rick) formerly of Kenilworth, will have an article in the Metropolitan section of the Chicago Tribune, about Kenil- worth, Sunday, December 23, or the Sunday following. This will be the first of a series that she has written, and those that will follow will be about other north shore suburbs in- cluding Wilmette. Ar rinil, WZ ; i. VW We believe Do you?
