Excerpt from The Palm, 1932, Vol. 52They have three children - Mary, now a senior in an eastern institution, Forbes in high school, and Thomas William, aged thirteen, alias Tom my the most charming, unselfish, talented and lovable namesake a man ever had.Brother Scott was Executive Secre tary of Alpha Tau Omega from 1918 to 1925, he has been connected with the palm in one capacity or another since 1909. He left the University of Illinois in 1925 to become chief editor for D. C. Heath Company - a posi tion which requires training, judg ment, and the unusual executive ability which is his in large part.I can best illustrate the strength of his character I think, by one incident. Fifteen years ago, or so, he had a severe and what all of his friends thought would be a fatal illness. Dur ing months of suffering and helpless ness, through sheer courage and opti mism he fought his way back to health and strength. Without a mur mur of discontent, without a com plaint of any sort, he did almost the impossible. No one could have been with him during those months of trial without being revitalized by his courage, by his cheerfulness in the face of almost certain death, by his total forgetfulness of self, by his de termination to conquer, as he did. It is a picture which I shall never for get, a lesson which has helped me often to fight against failure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
