HARWOOD R. POOL.
Mr. Harwood R. Pool, a life member of
the Ohio State Archaeo-
logical and Historical Society, died in
New York, December 30, 1903.
He was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel
Joseph Pool, and was born in
Elyria, Ohio, October 22, 1860. He went
to New York in 1868, attended
private school and later fitted for
college at Hopkins Institute, New
Haven, Connecticut. In 1877 he entered
the Ohio State University, and
was graduated therefrom on June 22,
1881, with the degree of Ph. B.
While in college he took lead in
important measures affecting college
life, and was one of the organizers of
the Greek letter society, Phi
Gamma Delta. He was one of the
organizers and first president of the
Alcyone Literary Society. He was also
one of the establishers and first
editors of the college paper, "The
Lantern." He was a splendid student,
a fine athlete, and, through his frank
and winning manner, not only
one of the leaders in all college
affairs, but a most popular man with
all classes of students. Immediately
upon his graduation from O. S. U.,
he attended the Columbia Law School,
from which he received his
diploma on June 13, 1883, as Bachelor of
Laws "cum laude," and was
admitted to practice by the Supreme
Court in 1883. He took a most active
interest in the progress and welfare of
his Alma Mater, O. S. U., and
was honored by receiving office
from the Alumni Association. He
also became prominent as an alumnus of
the Law School at Columbia
University. He was elected a member of
the Loyal Legion, New York
Commandery, of the second class, April
4, 1888. This latter order, at
a stated meeting of the commandery held
at Delmonico's, made fitting
recognition of the decease of their
honored member, the formal reso-
lution being presented by Brevet
Brigadier General Anson G. McCook.
The death of Harwood Pool in the prime
of his activity was not only
a sad blow to his innumerable friends
and associates but a decided loss
to the community and profession of which
he was so conspicuous and
valuable a member. Mr. Pool, from the
beginning of his membership in
the Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society, took deep interest
in its welfare; his removal to New York
and residence in that metropolis
seemed in no way to lessen his love for
his native state and interest in
the progress of the society which
promotes the history of the Buckeye
Commonwealth.
