A contemporary speaks of the late
Jacob l.. Greene, for many years pre-
sident of the Connecticut Mutual Life
insurance management in these days
in his principles and practices for life
insurance management i nthese days
of "honest graft" and frenzied finance.
This win make those acquainted with
the life insurance history of the coun-
try smile, and the pOlicy-holders of the
Connecticut Mutual, who were paying
premiums during most of the years of
Greene's presidency will wonder why,
if he was such an ideal president, their
dividends were not larger.
The tradition is that Greene became
president by reason of the fact that
he was a clerk whose employment gave
him knowledge of the names and adj
dresses of the policy holders of the
company. With this knowledge, he,
clandestinely, so far as his employers
were concerned set about getting prox-
les of policy holders, until finally he
got enough to be able at a SHINY at
tended annual meeting to vote out the
men who had built the company up,
and vote himself in as president. This
coup was in it's time as great a sensa-
ton in the insurance world as the
present Equitable squabble has been
in its time. 1t destroyed confidence to
a large extent in the Connecticut Mu-
tual, and that company suffered ter
ribly in loss Of policy holders.
During the years when Henry B.
Hyde and James M. Alexander were
building up the Equitable, w. II. Beers
the New York Life and Richard Nc
Curdy the Mutual Life of New York,
Jacob L. Greene was spending the
money of the Connecticut Mutual, hum
dreds of thousands of dollars of it, in
fighting the improvements in life in
surance, and the liberallzing tendencies
