Grant and afterward was minister to
Austria and to Russia.
william II. Taft was born In Cincin-
natl Sept Is. 1857. He grew up in his
native city and was prepared for col

was highly educated woman. 1t is
said that the Taft family always made
a speciality of education. The judge
and his wife determined that all their
children should receive the best seho-

lam was diligent student who mas
tered his studies by dint Of hard dig
ging. He entered Yale in 1874 and was
graduated four years later with second
honors In a class of 121 members. In
college he was known as a clean.
manly youth, always ready, to take
part In athletics. but never neglecting
his studies for sport. Classmates de-
clare that Bill Taft was the most
popular fellow In the class of 1878.
The young man returned to Cincin-
natl with his diploma and passed
through law school. In 1880 he was
admitted to the bar. While waiting for
clients he worked as court reporter
on the Cincinnati Times and later on
the Cincinnati Commercial. The prose
cutting attorney met the young lawyer
reporter and took such fancy to him
that he appointed Taft his assistant.
That was in 1881. Not long afterward
the young man was appointed collector
