Witter Bynner the spelling of whose name I defy any one to remember, and envelopes addressed to him must be a collection of curiosities was born at Brooklyn on the tenth of August, 1881. He was graduated from Harvard in 1902, and addressed his Alma Mater in an Ode To Harvard, published in book form in 1907.
"Yes, coming!" "Here's your list. Better get your men out." There was a hurried donning of clothing, a renewed uproar. "All ready, fellows," shouted the captain. "Answer to your names: Kendall, Tucker, Browning, Stowell, Witter, Jewell, Devoe, Gale, Pearse, Mason, Foster." "There's not much use in talk," said Mills, as the babel partly died away.
The hour is late, and we had best retire. In the morning I shall ride to hear old Parson Witter, in company with the old woman and Lucy. Ride along with us, and we shall be able better to understand one another." As he spoke, Munro emerged from the cover of the tree under which their dialogue had chiefly been carried on, and reapproached the dwelling, from which they had considerably receded.
The team that journeyed to Cambridge on October 23d was made up as follows: Stone, l.e.; Tucker, l.t.; Carey, l.g.; Stowell, c.; Witter, r.g.; White, r.t.; Devoe, r.e.; Foster, q.b.; Fletcher, l.h.b.; Gale, r.h.b.; Mason, f.b. Besides these, eight substitutes went along and some thirty patriotic students followed. Among the latter was Sydney Burr and "Fan" Livingston.
Brill laughed good-naturedly but didn't look alarmed. "By the way," he said, "I saw one of your players a while ago Cowan the fellow we protested. He seemed rather sore." "Where was he?" asked Paul eagerly. "In a drug-store down there toward the next corner. Have your coaches found a good man for his place?" "Oh, yes, it wasn't hard to fill," answered Neil. "Witter's got it." "Witter?
He was glad that Paul was not to be disappointed, but it was hard to think that he was to have no part in the supreme battle for which he had worked conscientiously all the fall, and the thought of which had more than once given him courage to go on when further effort seemed impossible. "Stone, Tucker, Browning, Stowell, Witter, Carey, Devoe, Foster, Gale " "Good for you, Paul," whispered Neil.
This, without exaggeration, applicable to the profession at large, was particularly due to the individual member in question; and among the somewhat savage and always wild people whom he exhorted, Parson Witter was in many cases an object of sincere affection, and in all commanded their respect.

"There were nought about me for him to choose me. I were just well enough afore that accident, but at after I were downright plain. And there was Bessy Witter as would ha' given her eyes for him; she as is Mrs. Carson now, for she were a handsome lass, although I never could see her beauty then; and Carson warn't so much above her, as they're both above us all now."
In the end Witter proved first choice, and Hurst was comforted with the knowledge that he was practically certain to get into the game before the whistle sounded for the last time. Meanwhile Artmouth came and saw and conquered to the tune of 6-0, profiting by the news of Cowan's withdrawal and piling their backs through Witter, Hurst, and Brown, all of whom took turns at right-guard.
