He attended public schools and then went to Dartmouth College, where he became editor of the Dartmouth _Jack-O-Lantern_.

After he graduated he became a contributor to the magazine The Judge, and began to sign his work as "Dr. Seuss."

He published humorous articles and illustrations in _The Judge_, _The Saturday Evening Post
