LODGE, Henry Cabot, son of John Ellerton and Anna Cabot Lodge, was born in Boston, May 12, 1850. He availed himself of the educational advantages that surrounded him, and grad- uated at Harvard University in the class of 187 1, from the law school in 1874, and was admitted to the Suffolk county bar in 1875. In 1S75 Mr. Lodge was given the degree of Ph. D. for his thesis on the " Land Law of the Anglo-Saxons" (Boston, 1877). He was university lecturer on American History from 1876 to '79, edited the " North Ameri- can Review " in 1 S73— '76, and the " Inter- national Review " in 1879— '81.

Mr. Lodge at once took a promi- nent part in the somewhat exciting scenes in the sessions of the last Congress, and by his familiarity with the subject, earnestness of purpose, and irrefutable logic, did much to dignify and worthily illustrate the title at first intended as a slur — "the scholar in politics." In one short session he be- came a power upon the floor of the House, and to-day he most honorably represents the Commonwealth, which takes great pride in his somewhat phenomenal suc- cess and manly record. He was vice-president of the commis- sion that superintended the centennial celebration of the forming of the United States Constitution, in 1S87.
