Knapp, engineer and owner of the Williams Bridge Company, and scion of the old Knapp family of Syracuse, Philip bad fits every want fulfilled as a youth, spending his boyhood in the fashionable section of Syracuse. Entering North High School at Syracuse, his brilliance as a student was soon observed by his teachers. He was always at the head of his classes, yet he never studied. His in- tellect was of the keenest, and he had no difficulty in adapting himself to the higher courses in the school. School mates of Knapp remember him as something of a dreamer, be- ing quiet and reserved. He was not on friendly terms with many of his schoolmates. Leaving high school he entered Syracuse University for a time, and Inter went to Cornell where in con- trast to his brilliant record in high school came reports that he was not \a very good student.\ His first escapade took place while he was at Cornell. He was reported missing by his instructors, without Katherine Knapp, sister of Philip Knox Knapp, for whom a country- PETTED BOY AND BRILLIANT PUPIL, HIS OLD FRIENDS RECALL Carried Silver Plate in Head After Operation Due to Blow Received in South America - Figured in Odd Occurences is now on.

He was gone for three weeks and quietly returned to his home here and offered no ex- planation, While he was at home, he report- ed to police one morning early that burglars attempted to breaks into his home and that he emptied a gun at them. Police found marks on the de { the Knapp home, but noth- Hig was missing. A short time later he reported auto thieves attempted to take his father's cars from the family garage and that one of them struck him on the head. The cars were not molested, police learned, but Knapp did have a crack on the head. Knapp remained about Syracuse for some time, and his friends say he acted queerly In 1920, Knapp, looking for adven. ture, enlisted in the U. 8. Navy. While in South America a party of sailors landed and got into a fight with natives and Knapp received a severe blow on the head. This is be- lieved to have affected him, He wite discharged from the navy, returned to Syracuse and underwent an operation by Dr. Frederick S. Flaherty, foremost surgeon in Syra- cuse. This operation lifted his skull and a silver plate was placed in his head.
