From the Epitome: Yearbook 1926 Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA

La Grange, 111.
"Billy" "Otto"
C.E.; Scimitar; Scabbard and Blade;

BILL comes from that place where men are men and women are scarce. Somehow Bill heard of Lehigh and left his beloved West to pursue a course of learning at this University. His natural brilliancy in studies has given him spare time to carry on an extended acquaintance among the society of Bethlehem; and his gifts along these lines have made him a fixture at every social function of the University.

Besides being a man admired by the fairer sex, Bill is noted as one of the best golfers in college. Let some of these braggarts play golf with Bill just once - they will never boast again!

Bill is so fortunate or unfortunate as to return to Lehigh for a fifth year. The men who graduate this year sincerely wish that his personality might be among those who don the cap and gown this June, and they realize that there will be a gap that only Bill can fill.
