Paul A. Hodgson
Paul A. Hodgson (November 19, 1891 - October 7, 1955) was a West Point graduate who served in World War I and World War II. While at West Point, he roomed with the future President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
==Military==
Hodgson was born in Latham, Kansas. In 1911 he received the appointment to West Point Military Academy from the eighth Congressional district of Kansas. Throughout his four years at West Point he distinguished himself in academics and graduated eighteenth in the 164 member class of 1915 ("the class the stars fell on").〔United States Military Academy. ''The Register of Graduates and Former Cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point: 2004''. Connecticut. Elm Press. 2004. pg. 2:61〕 He was a star football player on the first undefeated Army team of 1914. He also participated on the varsity baseball and basketball teams and broke the then existing Academy records for the high jump and broad jump. Injuries, however, kept both him and his roommate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, from achieving greater fame in athletics.
Following West Point, Hodgson attended Army Engineer school in Washington, D.C.. In World War I he joined the 11th Division with the 211th Engineers but not soon enough to travel overseas. Tours on the West Coast and Washington, D. C. followed by graduation from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth seemed to be preparing him for new opportunities. Illness struck him in 1941 and, after several months in Fitzsimmons General Hospital, Hodgson was discharged because of arthritis, a disease which afflicted him since his West Point days.
