Charles Herbert Levermore

At the latter institution he became friends with a young Thomas Woodrow Wilson, both being fellow members of the Glee Club.

Adelphi's main administrative building, Levermore Hall, is named after him[3] and the university's flagship global honors program also bears his name – the Levermore Global scholars Program.

[4] In 1924, Levermore attempted to mobilize support for the League of Nations, conceived by his former classmate, President Woodrow Wilson.

Levermore was awarded the American Peace Award, created the year before by Edward Bok, for "the best practicable plan by which the United States may co-operate with other nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the world."

This plan would have had the United States enter the League of Nations under special status.
