U of Chicago High School Knew Loeb as Young Freshman
Nineteen years ago Richard Loeb appeared in the University of Chicago High School Freshman class as an unusually young student. Professors George Lasher and Harry F. Scott recall him as not brilliant but capable, normal in every way, and socially distant due to a superior demeanor. Loeb finished high school by age 13 or 14. Robert Loeb, a cousin, was later in Lasher’s English class. Nathan Leopold was not yet enrolled at that time.
