John White Hallowell (December 24, 1878 – January 5, 1927) was an American football player and businessman. He played college football at Harvard University and was a consensus All-American at the end position in 1900.
Harvard
Hallowell attended preparatory school at the Hopkinson School. He enrolled at Harvard University as part of the Class of 1901.[1] He played college football for the Harvard Crimson football team from 1898 to 1900. He was a consensus All-American in both 1898 and 1900 while playing at the end position for the Harvard Crimson football team.[2] He was a hurdler and captain of the track team and president of the Associated Harvard Clubs while attending Harvard.[3][1] At Harvard, he was also a member of the Porcelian Club, the Delta Phi Club, the Hasty Pudding, the Dickey, and the Institute of 1770.[1]
Later years
After graduating from Harvard in 1901, Hallowell was a businessman with the firm of Stone & Webster in Boston. During and after World War I, he served as an assistant to Herbert Hoover in the United States Food Administration in Belgium and other parts of Europe.[3][4][5] In 1918, Hallowell was decorated by King Albert of Belgium of his efforts during the war.[6]
Hallowell died in January 1927 from typhoid fever.[3][7] Hallowell's funeral was attended by Hoover, members of the Harvard Corporation and members of the Harvard overseers.[8] After his death, The Harvard Crimson paid tribute to Hallowell: "Very rarely men arise with the genius for distinguished public service untouched by the ambition for public recognition. Such a man was John White Hallowell '01. His death in the very midst of manifold activities in the service of Harvard and the nation is a great personal loss. It is, however, the peculiar good fortune of humanity that the work and influence of a man blessed with purity of motives, strength of purpose, and clarity of vision, remain and grow stronger after he has passed away."[9] He is buried in the Milton cemetery.
