EDITOR'S SUPPLEMENT
Although no follow-up inquiry has been made since the year 1927,
a few items gleaned from clippings found in the author's files
are relevant. These are newspaper accounts, chiefly in connection
with E's being ordained as deacon, and later elevated to the
Protestant Episcopal priesthood. These articles recite that E--
Received his B.A. at the age of 15 years.
Received his M.A. degree the following year.
Was ordained deacon on December 21, 1929, at the age of 21.
Received his Ph.D. the following year at the age of 22.
Also received the degree Bachelor of Sacred Theology, in June, 1929.
Was elevated to the priesthood in the Protestant Episcopal Church
at the age of 24 (June 19, 1932) at a special ordination service
at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City.
As a graduate student too young for the priesthood, he had held a
fellowship in the General Theological Seminary, teaching Greek
and history.
There is also an announcement of his marriage in September, 1939.
