The GrälilLOld T ttö
The birth of the New Year of 1926 was cele
brated by three r markable old men, all safely
past the Ninetieth milestone aria all apparently nt
not only for another year but (or the poesibility of
making the century grade. As the year draws Io
its dose but one of them is left, Ch$rl?s W- ^lipt,
the educator, and Joseph tiuriiey Cannon, the elddr
statesman, have slipped quietly* into the abyss of
eternity. Only Chauncey Depew, big business execu
tive; quondam politician and noted wit, survives.
It is interesting if not significant to note that
the two who first answered the summons of death
had terinihated their cireere in active life and wer©
lining in retirement .The third, member of the trio
nominally ah least still carries oh. Although He
long ago gave uj> affcer-dihner speaking, a field in
which he reigned supreme,, he is to be found, daily
in his offiqj exercising the functions of chairman
of the board of the New York Central railroad and
still sits on the directorates of numerous corpora
tions. We faiicy that he takes it a, little easy in
the world of affairs, but still it is something that he
finds it copsisfent with his physical welfare to
appear daily, in the market place. •
We think of the members or this trio.todhy as
the grand oTd men of" our generation. They were as
a matter of fact unusually active and able men.
They flowered early and held the bloom of their
public usefulness through much longer periods than
is customarily given to men of promipance. . Cannon
was a state’s attorney of Illinois at 25 and a con
gressman at 37. Depew was a New York assembly
man at 27, secretary of state of New York at 29 and
in demand as an able railroad attorney at 32. Eliot
was an assistant professor of mathematics and
chemistry ¡at 24 ana president ot Harvard at 35. ,
