A controversy in the correspondence columns of tho Times, London, has proved almost beyond doubt that Mr. George Harper, of Christchurch, is the oldest living old boy of Eton College, England’s most famous public school. Mr. Harper celebrated his 93rd birthday last April and is at least a year older than any other old Etonian. Mr. Harper is a member of the Old Eton Association and his name appears in tho lists of the association with the dates 1555 to 1577 beside it. There is no other member of the association listed who was at the college before that time.
