Calvin Coolidge (born John Calvin Coolidge Jr.; /ˈkuːlɪdʒ/; July 4, 1872 – January 5, 1933) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. Coolidge's father married a Plymouth schoolteacher in 1891, and lived to the age of 80. In 1899, he declined renomination, running instead for City Solicitor, a position elected by the City Council. During his first term (1910 to 1911), he increased teachers' salaries and retired some of the city's debt while still managing to effect a slight tax decrease.
