yond this. and something that he
he had drawn to himself q truly re-
markable power of friends and friend
ships, extending to every part of the
nation and beyond It,

mated a philosophy of life and affairs

sponded rapidly to treatment.
Mr.. Marshall was the first vice pres
ident since John c. Calhoun to sue
coed himself in office. While vice
president, he was remembered chiefly
for the fairness of his rulings and the
bitterness of the rebukes he admin
istered to senators who took them
selves too seriously. The most cele-
brated Of all these occasions was a
certain day of high-flying oratory and
hombastic cavil in the senate. when
nearly every member was proposing
panaceas for the postwar health of
the country. The vice president broke
in with:
what the country really needs is a
good five-cent cigar"

Wabash college
He was born in North Manchester.
Ind, in 1854. Following graduation
from Wabash he read law and was
admitted to the bar in Columbia City,
Ind, at the age of twenty-one years.
In 1908 he was elected governor of
Indiana and in 1912 and 1916 he was
chosen vice president.
Doctor Marshall was a Presbyterian,
an active thirty-third degree Mason.
a member of Phi Gamma Delta and
Phi Beta Kappa fraternities and held
honorary degrees of doctor of laws from
several colleges and universities.
