Custard, Harry Lewis, 1893-1966.

Harry Lewis Custard (1893-1966) was an American author, philosopher, and educator.

He was able, however, to finish school while in the service and graduated in 1920. He went on to attend Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration from 1920-1922. He later taught at Lehigh University and Simmons College after which he worked for the federal government. With his wife, Edith May, he authored The Unity of Knowledge and the Organization of Thought (1940).
