NORTHEAST HARBOR Me., Aug. 24. (/P)— Dr.
Charles William Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard,
died at his summer home here. He had been in ill health
since early summer.
Among educators Dr. Eliot, for over 40 years presi
dent of Harvard University and president emeritus until
his death, held a world wide reputation as a grand old
man of their profession, but his prominence extended so
far beyond educational circles that he was often spoken
of here and abroad as “America's first citizen." He was
identified with practically every economic or social ques
tion brought forward in the past 30 years—writing and
speaking so fearlessly that he was the center of as many
storms of controversy and violent personal attacks as
though he held public office.
During the war, Dr. Eliot wrote numerous articles
and made many addresses in behalf of the Allies. He main
tained that “the hope of the world lies in complete cooper
ation between the British Empire and the United States
of America, the two great sections of the English-speak
ing people." Six months after Germany invaded Belgium,
in an article entitled “Roads to Peace," he deplored the
failure of what he termed “institutional Christianity" to
avert the conflict.
Despite his more than 87 years, in
a speech in# Boston on Oct. 19, 1920,
during the Presidential campaign, he
vigorously defended the League of
Nations against the criticisms of 31
eminent Republicans. In addition to
being president emeritus of Harvard,
Dr. Eliot until 1917 was a correspond
ing member of the Academy of Moral
and Political Sciences of the Institute
of France, the British Academy, a
fellow of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, a member of the
American Philosophical Society, the
Massachusetts Historical Society, hon
orary president of the National Con
servation Association and a member
of the General Education Board, the
Rockefeller Foundation and the In
ternational Health Board. Some of
his newer books included “The Happy
Life,” “The Durable Satisfactions of
Life,” “The Road Toward Peace” and
“John Gilley.”
Chosen to the presidency at Har
vard in his 35th year, he was the
youngest college president in the
country. He had, when he resigned in
his 75th year, held the office longer
than the combined terms of his five
