Life of Albert Sidney Johnston, -
published by the Appletons in 1878.
In 1880 Col. Johnston accepted the
preside ncy of the Louisiana university
at Bat On Rouge, and in the three years
during which he held this position he
thoroughly reorgsnized the Institution
and left it in prosperous condition.
In 1888, when Paul Tulane of Prince
ton, N. j. former resident OF New
Orleans, made to Louisiana his gen
erous offer to endow university, Col
Johnston was invited to organize and
take charge of the institution. To
this great work he devoted the re-
mainder of his life with success
which has few parallels in the history
of most Institutions. In addition he
organized the Sophie Newcombe
Memorial college, an institution for
girls, endowed by Mrs. Warren New
combe, which is part. though under
separate management of Tulane uni
versity.
Col. Johnston has made many con-
tributions to literature, both in prose
and verse, together with lectures and
addresses before colleges and various
literary and other associations.

| mously of the opinion that the emergency

| could best be met by Mr.. Cassatt, and that
| gentleman. after some hesitation, conclud-
ed to accept the responsibility.
Mr.. Cassatt, like the late Mr. Thomson,
/ has been connected with the company
since his boyhoo1 and has a thorough
! knowledge of the road, its resources and
business
| In 1882 he resigned as first vice president
of the company, but subsequently in

affairs of the company, occupying, In fact
| er behind the throne" 1t is no disparage-
ment of Mr.. Thomson's ability or power to
say that Mr.. Cassatts authority in the man
agement of the road was equal to that of
the late president, that in view of this
fact, Mr.. Cassatt is no stranger to the du-
ties that he will be called upon to perform
in his new position. Mr.. Cassatt is, per-
haps, the best-known railroad man in the
country. and he will undoubtedly be lead
er in trunk line councils.
Alexander Johnston Cassatt was born in
Pittsburg, December 8, 1859. His father.
Robert S. Cassatt, was for a number of
years closely identified with the financial
and industrial interests of western Pennsyl-
Vania, and was the first mayor of Allegheny
City. A. J. Cassatt received his primary
education in the schools of Pittsburg, took
liberal course in the famous University of
Heidelberg, in Germany and in 1859 grad
uated as civil engineer from the RensSe-
l.
1861 he settled in Philadelphia, and was APP
pointed a rodman the Philadelphia di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad. Two
years later he was made assistant
gineer and in 1854, when the Pennsylvania
railroad assumed control of the Philadel-
phia and Erie road. Mr.. Cass1tt was trans
ferred to Remove Pa, and appointed resi-
dent engineer of the middle division. Later
he was made assistant general sunerfnt"n-
dent of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad
In 1866 Mr.. Cassatt was transferred to
WIlliamsport, with the title of Superinten-
dent of motive power and m acflinery of the
Philadelphia and Erie railroad, AMI in 1861
he was appointed to the like position on
the Pennsylvania railroad, with headIuar-
ters at Altoona. In 1870 he made gen.
eral superintendent. and in 1871, when the
Pennsylvania railroad leased the United
Railroads of New Jersey, he was appointed
general manager of all the Pennsylvania
lines. After the death of j. Edgar Thorn
son a reorga niZation of the higher officials
became necessary, and in 1874 Mr. Cassatt
was advanced to the position OF third vice
president, which Office he held until 1850,
when, upon the retirement of President
Scott and the accession to the presidency Of
Mr.. Roberts, he became first vice president.
In September, 1852 he resigned this office
