Austin Devol Gates attended Marietta College and was a freshman in
the "Academy" in 1902-1903 (age 15-16). "Marietta Academy is a school
for boys and girls where Christian influences prevail, and where the
development of character is placed above all other considerations. Its
aim is to provide thorough preparation under the most favorable
conditions for the College, and to train for the most successful conduct
of every day affairs." (from
