plea fact due to his unconquer-
able modesty and his incessant
shrinking from any form OF per-
Sonal publicity.
Yet, to those who know him
best, he is one of the most human
of human beings. A man whose
life is the symbol of honor, gen.
crosby, sterling citizenship, and
unflinching courage.
Born in Cleveland, he came to
New York when he was 10, with
John D., senior, his father, who
to him has always been the per
feet parent, and between the
shrewd and kindly old gentleman
and the master of Rockefeller Gen.
ter there has always existed an
affection and devotion that Is
rare in human society.
One of the younger Rocketel-
ler's most vivid recollectionS OF
his boyhood days in New York is
the mental picture of his father,
wearing a silk hat, skating ener-
getically around the private rink
of the still-standing brownstone
Rockefeller home in East Fifty
fourth Street, before setting out
for the old Standard OIL Build
ing at 26 Broadway.
John D. Rockefeller is a man
of medium height, solidly built,
with square shoulders and a body
that is always in hard, athletic
trim-the body Of a man OF 40.
His hair is white now. His face
is smooth-shaven, with square
Jaws, strong chin and firm mouth.
His eyes, blue-gray, are ordinarily
mild in expression, but can be-
come very keen and even hard,
on occasion.
HATES INJUSTICE
Rockefeller has a passion for
detail. Every foot of steel and
pound of Indiana limestone that
went into his dream city Of Rookie
Teller Center had his personal at
tention, although he studiously
refrained from the slightest inter
ference with the architects once
the plans were settled on.
For all his millions, he Is prob

He is extremely dignified, and
it is impossible to imagine one Of
