Amherst '95
President Coolidge is a graduate of Amherst College, class of 1895. Among his classmates are Herbert L. Pratt, President of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey; and Dwight W. Morrow, one of the ablest of the J. P. Morgan & Co. partners. This is a rare record for any one college class.
It is indeed difficult to name, offhand, another college class to equal Amherst '95. The obvious comparison is Princeton '79, whose membership includes Woodrow Wilson, Mahlon Pitney (former Justice of the United States Supreme Court), Cyrus H. McCormick (head of the International Harvester Co.), Robert Bridges (editor of Scribner's Magazine), Cleveland H. Dodge (major capitalist and philanthropist).
