Harvard student Sterner driven from campus by mental strain
Ira Isbon Sterner of Keller's Church Pennsylvania, a Harvard second year mathematics student, was forced to leave the college in a broken mind after weeks of 12 to 15 hour study days. He lived frugally on 12 cents daily, adhered to vegetarian meals, and faced fears of conspiracies. Despite the physician's denial of insanity, Sterner's ambition overwhelmed his health and future plans.
