BYRD PRAISES HARVARD MAN FOR WORK IN POLAR FLIGHT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The parents of Joe de Ganahl '25, who was with the Byrd expedition to the North Pole this spring, have just received a cablegram from Commander Byrd congratulating them on the put which Ganahl played in the successful attempt to fly over the Pole. The cablegram, which was sent declining the offer of Mr. and Mrs. Ganahl to Commander Byrd to land at their decks on the return to England, stated--"Your son was splendid throughout the expedition, Congratulations."

Ganahl was prominent in undergraduate affairs while at the University. He was an assistant managing editor of the CRIMSON and member of the Senior Album Committee last year. Following his graduation he spent a short time in post graduate work at Yale before joining the Byrd expedition. Commander Byrd has often spoken at the Harvard Union, prophesying the eventual success of attempts to fly across the North Pole.
