Page "Scofield Thayer" Paragraph 2

Thayer entered Harvard University in 1913.

His Harvard years would prove formative ; during them Thayer would serve on the staff of the Harvard Monthly.

During these years Thayer would also meet many other young poets and authors, including E. E. Cummings, Alan Seeger, Lincoln MacVeagh, and Gilbert Seldes.

A large dormitory for freshmen at Harvard, in which E. E. Cummings once roomed ( room 306 ), is named after the Thayer family.

After Harvard, he went to Oxford at the same time as T. S. Eliot.
