...twenty-six years, 1893-1919, with the utmost punctuality, assiduity, and devotion, and with high intelligence. Why was he chosen a member of the Corporation? Not because he was a successful banker and broker of State Street. Far from it. He was chosen because he was as fine an exemplar of the patriotic citizen-soldier as there was in the country or the world; because he gave the University two great gifts, one the Soldiers Field, on which he hoped that manly sports of many kinds would be generously cultivated through long generations of Harvard youth, and on which...
