...frail wife who has borne him seven sons; and learned with the knowledge of an explorer in Peru and of a onetime (1909-24) professor at Yale University. He is human enough to set above his mantle framed letters from various "celebrities." Of recent years he has made a sound, tenacious success in politics.
