Additional Details

Geisel was a member of the Dartmouth class of 1925. While there, he was Editor-in-Chief, wrote, and drew cartoons for the College's humor magazine, The Jack o' Lantern. Geisel invented the pseudonym "Seuss" after he was removed from his editorship for hosting an unauthorized party. He still contributed to the magazine but signed his middle name, Seuss, instead.
