The ghost-like Harvard graduate has remained incognito to all Harvard officials, including Director of Athletics William J. Bingham '16, for over a decade. Bingham has corresponded with the unknown, philanthropist through the trust officer of the First National Bank of Boston, but has never learned the name of Harvard's great swimming patron.
