Kappa honorary scholarship so- ciety, but when he was graduated in 1897 he stood midway between hte middle and the top of his class. It was during those college days that he met and won Abby Ald- rich, daughter of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Ald- rich, 8 naughty Mark Hanna henchman of high tariff and big business attachments, insisted on a fashionable wedding with 1000 guests and kings ransom in presents. The shy, youthful Rockefeller no doubt shrark from the, ordeal, but insisted on mo wine" rule at the wedding break fast and on the choice of the aging Congregational minister who had married his father and mother 35 years before.
 i; "Home and Family" People
 The pair were well mated and always congenial. Despite the baronial surroundings in which she had been reared, Miss Aldrich was also a serious minded young woman who cared little for "so- ciety" as much, an ideal partner for the kind of life Rockefeller visioned for himself. They remain so today. and they have well car ried forward the example set by the elder John D of being nome and family" people.
 Destined, as the only son, to in evitable administration of the huge fortune of his father, Rocke- feller entered the offices at 26 Broadway. He did not start out like so many rich mems sons ito work his way up from the bot tom." He did not have any spe- cific job or title. It was simply understood that, he was his fa- ther's son, and that some day all these complex affairs would be his to administer.
 He sat in on conferences, listened to older and more expe- rienced men. He began to learn, to assume responsibilities by de- grees. The father allowed the son a rather free rein. Gradually this interest or that, this property or the other, were transferred to the son.
 Even the Sunday school class al the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church formerly taught by the father now passed on to the son, who succeeded Charles Evans Hughes as teacher. ee
 Felt Sting of Criticism
 As college youth, Rockefeller had felt the sting of the criticism of his fathers methods and career College boys discuss these matter' without gloves. As he entered business, the younger man wa keenly conscious of the cartoons and special articles, the exposure that pilloried his father as grasping octopus, bloodleS greedy monster. He always de fended his father stoutly, adn stil defends his memory. How coul' he do otherwise who remembere the skating pond at Forest HI and could only say simply, TO m he is the most loving, understand ing, inspiring father any son eve had"

It seems that Patricia Ellis,

in which he stated that if he had

very much to take her to dinner.
