GRADUATES IN CONGRESS.
Few Senators and Representatives Are
3. Graduates.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, was
graduated from Harvard College in
1916, and his associate in the senate
from Massachusetts, Henry Cabot .
Lodge, was graduated from the same
institution in 1871. Other senator's who
attended Harvard are Pasco, Of Flor
ida; Wolcott, of Colorado, and Chand-
Ter, OF New Hampshire-five in all. In
the house there is one Harvard man in
the Illinois delegation, three in the
/ Massachusetts, delegation, two in the
New York delegation, and one from
Rhode Island-seven in all. Yale Col
lege is not represented among the SEN
ators from Connecticut, but there is
one Yale man in the senate from Idaho
and another from Nevada. The third
is George P. Wetmore, of Rhode Island.
In the house there are two Yale men
from Connecticut, one from Nevada,
one from New Jersey, one from New
YORK, and two from Pennsylvania
seven in all. Senator Gray, of Della
ware, is a Princeton man, as is Sen
ator Cameron, of Pennsylvania. There
are TWO Princeton men in the house
delegatlon from New Jersey, one from
New York, and one from North Caro-
INA. Columbia College has a meager
representation in the Fifty-fourth con-
gress-no Columbia man in the senate,
and only three in the house, two from
New York and one from New Jersey.
Bowdoln College is represented by Sen
ator Frye in the senate and Speaker
Reed in the house, both Maine men.
Senator Proctor, of Vermont was edu-
Gated at Dartmouth, and among the
other Dartmouth men in congress are
Mr.. Dlngley, of Maine, lately Repub-
llcan leader on the floor of the house,
two Massachusetts representatives, one
member of the New Hampshire delega-
ton, and one New York man-six in all.
Union College has two representatives
In New York's delegation in the house.
One Ohio representative, Southland, of
the Toledo district, was educated at
Cornell California delegation, one in
the Missouri. There is one Hamilton
College man in the delegation, and one
In the New York delegation-the rep
resentative of the Utica district. Ga
lusha A. Grow, the oldest of the rep
resentat1ves in congress, was educated
lat Amherst, as were two representa-
:tives of Massachusetts,. One New York
congressman was educated at Williams
College, and so was one Pennsylvania
congressman. The oldest of the SEN
ators, Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, who is
30, was not educated in any colleges,
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, the
youngest of the senators Che is 33), was
graduated from the University of North
Carolina eleven years ago. The pros
portion of college-bred congressman is
largest in the eastern and the extreme
far western states. It must seem sur
prising to many persons that of three
Yale men, for instance, in the senate,
two should come from such distant
states as Idaho and Nebraska. Among
the congressman from the southern
states are many representatives edu-:
Gated in the minor colleges of that sec
ton, and the peculiar distinction of
having every one of its representatives
in both houses a college man is enjoy.
ed by one state only, Virginia. The
California statesmen and the Texas
statesmen are nearly all of them grad
yates Of common schools, and college
degrees and university honors are rare
among them. The besetting and per-
picking question, What is the differ
ence between a college and univer-
sity?" accounts to some degree, per-
haps, for the impracticability of any
correct summary of college men in con.
