        History

        Len Harris, as he was known, joined the Institute in Long Acre days and came to the Poly with Robert Mitchell and many others when Mr. Quintin Hogg transferred the Institute to Regent Street. At this time, Len Harris became Mr. Hogg's Private Secretary, and remained so until on the departure of Sydney Axford the office of Secretary and Clerk to the Governors fell vacant and Mr. Hogg sacrificed his own personal comfort for the benefit of the Institute, and Len was appointed to that position. He devoted all his energies, heart and soul, to the interests of the Poly, took part in its games, and distinguished himself at Football, Rowing, and in the Gymnasium. This continued until the time for superannuation arrived in 1929. In the July number of the Magazine for that year is a
        report of Len Harris's achievements, and in the December number an account of the Presentation made to him.
