"Crimson" alumni include Presidents John F. Kennedy of the Class of 1940 (who served as a business editor) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (who served as president of the newspaper), Class of 1904. Writer Cleveland Amory was president of "The Crimson;" when Katharine Hepburn's mother asked him what he planned to do after college, he says he replied teasingly that "once you had been president of "The Harvard Crimson" in your senior year at Harvard there was very little, in after life, for you."
