...grandson of the old transatlantic cableman, Cyrus W. Field, sharp-eyed Mr. Lindley has been a member of the Stock Exchange since 1902, a governor since 1916. In the 77th Division he served as an infantry captain in the War. Exchange members first chose him to be their disciplinarian in 1930, learned to like his strictness better than SEC spankings. When the nominating committee failed to rename him for governor last year he ran independently, easily...
...next setback as a disciplinarian was in the Government mental hospital at Buffalo. w?here he was transferred as an attendant. Promoted to mess manager, he once kept the kitchen gang overtime to rewash greasy dishes. In playful revenge they dropped a blanket over his head, pounded him with a plank. The officer whom he asked to arrest them replied: "It will do you good, this is America." After delivering a strait-jacketed Negro to Mississippi authorities, he was picked to attend Officers' Training School in Georgia, where for the first time he found things a little more suggestive...
Catholics last week predicted that the red hat of a cardinal awaits Archbishop Mooney if the U. S. gets its fifth Prince of the Church in time. Tall, lofty of brow, matter-of-fact, he is a shrewd master of church and business law, a rigid disciplinarian who will take no back talk from any Father Coughlin.

Artist Duncan, who lives in San Francisco, is far from unknown to western advertisers. A director of the potent McCann-Erickson Advertising Agency, he is a strict office disciplinarian, a busy executive, and though he has finished no commercial drawings for 20 years, he still makes layouts and rough sketches for Del Monte Peaches and Standard Oil of California. For five years he served with Herbert Hoover on the San Francisco Art Commission, has exhibited frequently in West Coast shows...
...bishop of Buffalo, where he sold Liberty Bonds, built schools and churches, liquidated a $1,100,000 debt on a new cathedral. In 1918 he became Archbishop of Philadelphia where ever since the name of "Dockerty" (as many of his flock pronounce it) has been a potent one. Strictest disciplinarian of the four U. S. Cardinals, he rules his clergy with an iron hand, insists on punctuality, obedience, deference. To a young shipboard visitor on his recent trip he growled: "Boy, take off your cap!" Philadelphia newspapers know better than to print anything the Archbishop might take offense...
