. . . he came to St. Paul’s as a boy of sixteen, and by his hearty interest in all school matters as well as by his delight in all sports soon won a place of great influence. He entered business upon leaving the school, becoming a broker and a member of the New York Stock Exchange, keeping his membership for over fifty years and serving as a member of the Board of Governors for many of them. He lived for years at Red Bank, N. J., for true to his early training he loved the open air and all kinds of sport.
