george bancroft.

George Bancroft was born in Massa
chusetts in the. year 1900, and edu-
eated at Harvard College, which he
entered when mere boy, and where
he was considered a prodigy. He
graduated at the unusual age of seventeen
las worthy as Wolsey of being desig-
mated "the boy-bachelor and, we are
told, his Grafton on graduating was on a
profound theme, and is said to have been
8 masterpiece of thought and eloquenee.
After leaving Harvard he went to Europe,
where he passed Eve years in travel and
in study At the principal German Univer-
sites. His course in history, philosophy,
and classical learning embraced the whole
development of ancient and modern
thought, and in each department be
showed an aptitude, as if that had been
his favorite specially. Returning to his
native land in 1922, he was made Greek
tutor in Harvard College, and performed
the duties of that Office for year. In
1929, in conjunction with DR.. ]. G. Cogs-
well, he established the celebrated Round
Hill School at Northampton, which was
great improvement on previous educa-
tional institutions in this country. He
published translation of Heeren Poll
tics of Ancient Greece" and a small
volume of original poems At this time,
too, he commenced his preparations for
the History of the United States" the
composition of which has occupied him
for nearly forty years, and is understood |
to be now completed The first volume
appeared in 1884, This work forms one
of the proudest monuments of American |
literary art. 1t is not alone as man of let |
ters that Mr.. Bancroft has won world |
wide reputation. He substantially served |
his country in important and responsible
positiens-frst as Secretary of the Navy,
in the Cabinet of President Polk, where
his high administrative powers were ad-
exercised, and subsequently,
as Minister to London from 1916 to ls4g.
His rank as an orator is high; he is an
sfective and powerful speaker. Well in
formed, logical, and earnest "he has the
sloquence which proceeds from lucid
thought and strong emotion. Always in
earnest often vehement, he appeals to the
Imagination by his impassioned rhetoric
md graphic illustrations, while he mas
ers the intellect by his power of transpa-
ent exposition and cogent argument
Not the least honorable distinction which
,rowns his name is the decision with
which he sided with the friends of the
Union during the recent terrible conflict,
n opposition to the claims of party asso-
iates and political antecedents."
