EMINENT TWINS TODAY 



If there were any theory that identical twins, starting from only half a cell, are lacking 

 in mental or physical vigor, the record of the GrosVenor twins would shatter it. They both, as 

 students at Amherst College, divided highest honors in the class room and on the tennis 

 field, and one, as builder and director of the National Geographic Society, and the other 

 as Assistant Attorney General and partner in one of the most important law firms in 

 America, have demonstrated their abilities as leaders. 



During their whole lives they have never varied more than a pound in weight. In college 

 their grades never varied more than one-tenth of one per cent. Their tailor says that one 

 of the twins has a short left arm and the other a short right arm. Although absolutely 

 dependent upon glasses, each can wear the other's. 



Their illnesses have often coincided. They have always been devoted friends, and fre- 

 quently their letters cross. Most of their tastes are similar, but they never agreed when it 

 came to girls. (Fig. 3.)
