Another book - Twenty-fifth anniversary report, 1894-1919 by Harvard College, pages 459 - 461. Downloaded from Google books.

URL: http://books.google.com/books?id=IOsnAAAAYAAJ&printsec=toc&ie=ISO-8859-1&output=html

If downloaded in PDF format, see pages 634 - 638. This is a biography, written in first person, so very likely by Waters himself, with good biographical information up through 1919, with two pictures, one from around graduation; the other probably closer to 1919. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicelth (talk • contribs) 01:41, 12 July 2009 (UTC) --Alicelth (talk) 03:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
