Life
Train was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was politician and lawyer Charles Russell Train and his
mother, Sara Maria Cheney. Train graduated BA from Harvard University in 1896 and LLB from Harvard
Law School in 1899. [1]
In 1897, Train married Ethel Kissam and they had four children. Ethel died in 1923 and Train married Helen
Coster Gerard with whom he had one child. [1]
In January 1901, Train became assistant in the office of the New York District Attorney and in 1904 he started
his literary career with the publication of the short story "The Maximilian Diamond" in Leslie's Monthly. He
spent the next decade running the two careers in parallel. [1]
From 1915 to 1922, Train was in private practice as a lawyer with Charles Albert Perkins while continuing to
write, not just novels but advertising copy, vaudeville sketch comedy, poetry and journalism. In 1919, he
created the popular character of Mr. Ephraim Tutt, a wiley old lawyer who supported the common man and
always had a trick up his sleeve to right the law's injustices. [1] He also coauthored two science fiction novels
with eminent physicist Robert W. Wood. [2] After 1922, Train devoted himself to writing, [1]

ARTHUR C. TRAIN DISCUSSES
"HARVARD INDIFFERENCE"
Says University Is a New England College, Which, While It
Draws Students From All Over World, Is Still Dominated By
New England Influence
By Arthur C. Train (SPECIAL ARTICLE FOR THE CRIMSON)
Mr. Train is a well-known author and lawyer of New York City. Among his works are "The
Prisoner at the Bar" and "True Stories of Crime". In an episode of his popular "Tutt and Mr.
Tutt" stories in the Saturday Evening Post, Mr. Train has dealt with the affairs of a young
Harvard "prig"; and in reply to an inquiry as to why the terms "Harvard", "snobbishness",
and "indifference" are, to many, synonymous, he sent the following article.
I
beg
to acknowledge your courteous letter in which you ask me to express an opinion as the causes of
what you evidently think is a rather general belief that a Harvard education tends to make a man a
snob. The quickest and best way to answer your question is to say simply that I neither think it does
nor do I think that there is any such general belief. I know nothing of the alleged "hostility" to
Harvard either in the west or elsewhere to which the editorial from the CRIMSON, which you SO
kindly enclose, refers, and I am disinclined to concede that it exists.
That Harvard offers to the student less opportunity for what is commonly called "social life" in a
narrow sense is obviously true. The hilarious mutual congratulation growing out of the coincidence
that youths, seeking a classic education, buy soda water at the same drug store, and listen to the same
lectures on architecture or biology, is less obstreperous than elsewhere. So far as I am aware, there is
little, if any, of the kind of college life typified by the guitar with the blue ribbon and the felt flag
bearing the name of Alma Mater in large white letters. Neither is there any such at Oxford,
Cambridge or the Sorbonne.
Students in preparatory schools who are looking forward to four careless years of rollicking good
fellowship based on the fact that they are approximately of the same age and let loose upon the town
for the first time should seek a college where the majority of undergraduates are sufficiently immature
to want it.
Great Educational Opportunity
There is no college where the unknown boy from the smaller town, who has no conspicuous or
particularly attractive qualities of mind or body, can get more education in its best sense and less
recognition of the kind called "social" than at Harvard. If he has quality, every door is open to him

ARTHUR TRAIN (1875-1945)
American lawyer, criminologist, novelist, short story
writer, and creator of lawyer-detective Ephraim Tutt.
Born in Boston, the son of Sarah M. (Cheney)
and Charles Russell Train, attorney general of Mas-
sachusetts for seventeen years, Train graduated from
Harvard University and Harvard Law School and
then was a lawyer and assistant district attorney. In
1897 he married Ethel Kissam; they had a son and
three daughters. His first wife died in 1923. He mar-
ried Helen C. Gerard in 1926; they had a son.
Train sold his first story in 1904 and produced
al most 300 stories and books thereafter. In his auto-
biography, My Day in Court (1939), he wrote: "I
enjoy the dubious distinction of being known among
lawyers as a writer, and among writers as a lawyer."
Members of both professions, he good-humoredly
lamented, treated him with condescension.
Although Train's best-known work is about Mr.
Tutt, he also wrote some of the first books about true
crime in America, nonmystery novels, science fic-
tion, and mystery fiction not involving Tutt, notably
his first book, McAllister and His Double (1905), a
collection of short stories featuring "Fatty" Welch
(alias Wilkins) and introducing the scientific detec-
tive Monsieur Donaque; The Confessions of Artemus
Quibble (1911), a series of connected episodes about
a New York shyster lawyer; and Manhattan Murder
(1936), a fast-paced novel about organized crime.
