Here is an interesting article written by John Anderson at the time of Crump's death.

Tom,

Thanks...terrific article.

It's very interesting how the words "constructor" and "architect" are synonymously used at that time.   As noted previously, at the time Crump and friends were initially routing the course in the spring of 1913, they were known as the "Construction Committee".
