THE PENNILESS
MILLIONAIRE
PASSES AWAY
RUSSELL H. CONWELL, WHO
GAVE AS HE EARNED, DIES
SATURDAY AT PHILA.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 7.—
Russell H. Conwell died Saturday
following a long illness.
Transformation of wealth, estimat
ed at $8,000,000 reaped from his lec
tures, into education for the needy
hut ambitious, caused the Rev. Dtr.
Russell Herman Conwell to become
known as “the Penniless Millionaire.”
He gave as he earned, keeping for
himself only his actual expenses.
Thus through his varied career from
•farm boy to college president, he
•was best known as a philanthropist,
lecturer and clergyman. But these
were far from being the only activi
ties with which he had been associ
ated, for in turn, he had lived the
life of a soldier, newspaper man, war
correspondent, author, immigration
agent, lawyer and traveler.
It was his desire to help struggling
young students, men and women,
which led him to found Temple Uni
versity, Philadelphia, which under
his presidency grew from modest be
ginnings tb a school with an enroll
ment of many thousands. He also
founded the Samaritan and Garret
son hospitals and the Baptist tem
ple in Philadelphia.
Dr. Conwell’s great popularity was
gained as a lecturer, for in that ca
pacity he appeared not only before
thousands in the United States, but
thruout the civilized wordld. He
dwelt upon many topics in his 54
years on the platform, but his “Acres
of Diamonds” was the outstanding
theme and was delivered for the
600th time in 1921. And from this
lecture alone he earned approximately
$4,000,000.
Born in South Worthington, Mass.,
Feb. 15, 1843, he was educated at
Wilbraham Acaademy and Yale. En
listing in the Civil war as captain
in the 46th Massachussets infantry,
he rose to the rank of colonel and
was wounded. After the war he
practiced law and founded a newspa
per in Minnesota.
As a newspaper man he was cor
respondent for the New York Trib
une during the Franco-Prussian war,
obtaining interviews with Bismarck
and Emperor William I. Later he
made a world tour as a newspaper
correspondent.
Entering the ministry in 1879, his
first charge was at Lexington, Mass.,
where he remained for several years
before moving to Philadelphia.
