Chauncey M. Depew's Tribute to the
Founder of a Great Fortune.
THE VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY I
Receives Nashville's aift to the Institution
Endowed by the Eminent Financier
Who Added $80,000,000 to His
Fortune After His 70th
Year.
Nashville. " Tenri., Oct. 12. An Im
mense and enthusiastic audience pack
ed the) Auditorium at the exposition
yesterday noon to listen to the speeches
attending the presentation of the life
size statue of Commodore Vanderbllt
to Vanderbllt unlterslty. This statue,
which has been one of the notable fig
ures on the exposition grounds, la the
gift of citixens of Nashville to the
university.
John Vv. Thomas, president o tho
centennial exposition, presided, and in
a felicitous address presented tho
statue to tho university. Chancellor
Klrkland, of the university, made
the address acknowledging the bequest,
and President Thomas then Introduced
Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, amid cheers
and college yells.
Dr. Depew's address was an exhaust
ive and eloquent review of the life and
business methods of the founder of the
Vanderbllt millons, and he was fre
quently interrupted by enthusiastic ap
plause. He said in part:
Commodore Vanderbllt is a conspicuous
example of the product and possibilities
ot our free and elastic conditions. His
father was a small farmer with a large
COMMODORE VANDEItlllliT.
family, and. it became nccessnry for tho
son to look out for himself when very
young. Ho had little education, but a
marvolously clear head and sound Judg
ment. At 1C, borrowing $100 from his
mothor, ho began the battlo of life, and
ho died the richest man in tho world, with
tho ronutatlon of having made more
money than was over before accumulated
In a Blngle life. Ho had an exhaustless
capital ot courago and common sense.
His motto was simple and straight for.
ward, like every act in the wonderful
drama of which ho was the chief actor.
"What othor men have done I can do"
was the mainspring of his exertions.
For C8 yoars Commodore Vanderbllt was
In perpetual wnrfaro. Ho neither asked
nor cave quarter. The samo country,
tho same laws, tho same open avenues,
the same opportunities which no had uo
foro him, wero equally before every other
man. The keenest competition and tho
earnest rivalry of able and ambitious
opponents met him at every step in his
career. Wary adversaries were watching
for weakness in his schemes or a failure
of his planB. Each day renewed nn old
fight or began a new one. Ho was often
checked, sometimes forced to retreat and
take another position, but ha was never
defeated. Ho ultimately remained roaster
PC the Held.
Wo must estimate tho enroor and worlf
of Cornelius Vanderbllt upon the prlncl.
pies which are common to very lew. its
was much more than a mero money mak
er. He delighted in money making, but,
like all masterful men, he loved power.
He said to me, "I sometimes do a fool
ish thing, knowing it is foolish, just to
prove that I can make even a foolish
movement successful." He invested his
S100 In a llttlo sailboat, or perlagua, to
parry passengers between Staten Island
and New York on a farslghted judgment
that thorp WA3 .a public demand for better
service betweon these points. Old and
experienced masters pf transportation
had controlled the steamboat truffle of th9
Hudson river and Long Island for years,
but in a short time, though he had less
capital, he drove them off these waters.
Ho saw far In advance of his time the
results which could be obtained from
ocean steamers. There were prosperous
lines plying between New York and the
isthmus of Panama and the Isthmus and
the Pacific ports. Their managers were
conservative, old fashioned, old fogy and
rich, They molted with amusement and
amazement at this adventurer in their
domain who singly and sjpne Coldly chal
lenged their supremacy, Thirty years
afterward I heard an old merchant la.
menttng that the commodore forced his
company to sell out to him Its Atlantic
line and pay him two-thirds the profits
on the Pacific to keep off that ocean.
His entry Into the railway world was
the result of the same foresight and wis
dom. Ills mind was like a rifle barrel.
It carried thought straight to the mark.
It was difficult to Induce him to take up
n subject, but when he did nothing could
divert him from it until a decision was
reaohed. He never doubted that verdlot
or revealed it. but acted upon It with
lightning lljte rtpldlty. He thus found
millions where others had lost them.
The commodore made pp bin mind that
railway transportation was to be the
leading business of the future, that there
was no limit to Its expansion, and that
under business management and with
business methods railroad stocks were
the best Investment In the country. He
knew that railway obaos was his oppor
tunity. Tho stocK ot tho ilarlem ran
road was a football In Wall street at
from IS to ?5 a share. It found In the man
of steamboats and steamships Its regen
erator.
Wall street believed the tS.000,000 the
commodore had spent on the road thrown
away. It gave the company new oars
and locomotives, a safe and stable way
and regular and rapid train service. The
Hudson lllver and Harlem rouds both
ran from New York to Albany. The first,
which had not known of the existence
of the latter, now felt the effects of Its
keen and dangerous rivalry. In less than
two years the stockholders ot the Hudson
lino were begging him to take their road.
This he did at about ISO a share. Hail
way traffic had found a new and original
roaster. Quicker time and better faellt
tliw attracted passengers ajjd, freight
from the West to tne Mtismtic scaitoaro,
from the southern routes and ports to
New York. The public received better
service at lower rates ana New York a
new impetus in Its trade.
In the old days of leadership In flnannce
ana speculation Wall street always had a
recognised king. He had a large follow
lng, and his sway was dally disputed.
After Innumerable victories and tho ruin
of thousands of Individuals and combina
tions he was dethroned and bankrupted
in some wild panic. His successor would
take the perilous place, to pursue the
same career and meet a like fate. Hut
in Mr. Vanderbllt this center of the risks
and values of the contlnont found a mas
ter whoso resources were great and whose
Judgment was unerring. It was equally
dangerous to follow or fight him on ac
count of the rapidity with which he
changed his policy as he saw before others
did tho gathering storm or the rainbow
of prosperity. "Wall street owes me 11,
000,000 a year," I heard him say. and until
the last he collected that, and In some
years many millions.
I had known the commodore very well
for several years, and one day he sudden
ly asked if he could retain me as attor
ney and counsel. I had been appointed
and confirmed United States minister to
Japan, a position of power and promi
nence because of the opening of that
country to civilization. "No future In
politics," he said. "Railroad's the career
for a young man now. Don't be a fool."
Ho was 72, and I was 32, and thus began
a confidential and personal relationship
which during the Intervening 31 years
has continued unbroken and unclouded
through four generations of his family.
The most extraordinary thing connected
with the career of this remarkable man
is that his best work and greatest
achievements were accomplished after he
had passed 70. He was worth about in),
000,000 when ho had rounded the Ufo line
of tho Scripture, and ho added over $80,
000.000 to it In the next 12 years. His day
began at 9 o'clock among the horses ho
loved, and then until ,2 that active brain
and unerring judgment were formulating
plans covering the continent. Ho left
business behind in tho olllco at 2, and
neither profit nor loss could tempt him
to talk about It until the next morning.
At 3 ho was spinning along behind his
trottors, seeking tho excitement of a
spurt of speed with a rival team.
Ho received dally a bushel of begging
letters. Honest men and women, frauds.
fools and cranks all needy and unable
to breast the wavos of adversity or make
their way In tho world appealed to him
Ho never answered them. "If I should
give them my wholo fortune," he said,
"one-half would go to thieves and the
other half to people whose folly and Im
providence would squander It In a week,
leaving them worse off than before"
He possessed neither sympathy nor sen
timent, but had formulated a theory of
Justice and compensation summed up In
tho phrase, Qlvo a man a chance." It
might be a very humble and a very hard
chance, but If tho man would stick and
dig and climb he was worth assisting.
As proof of tho value of this prtnclplo In
true phllanthrophy ho would point to tho
president of one of his railroads who had
started as a gateman at one of tho ferries,
Unllko most self made men, he placed
tho highest value upon a liberal education
and emphatically lamented his own lack
ot It. To Bishop MoTyelre s plain pro
scntatlon of the enormous benefit of a
university In tho south ho gavo a hos
pitable hearing, A sound education oqutps
young men for broader work and greater
usefulness. Such an Institution of learn
ing was in tho line of his motto of help
lng people to take caro of themselves.
and he endowed Vanderbllt university
with 51,000,000. If the good bishop and his
associates, foreseeing tho future, had
uemonstrated tho necosslty of a largor
Bum they would havo received It.

The Manr Issues the Officials Must
Contend Willi.
VACCINATIONS MUST BE MADE
But Night School Pupils Exempted For the
Present A Harked Deerease In the
Number of Truancy Cases.
Why Many Children
Are Absent.
Since the announcement made at the last
meeting of the local School Hoard that the
officials propose to enforce a strict observance
of the school laws as bearing upon the at
tendance and vaccination of ohlldren there
has been no little discussion among parents
as to tho extent to which the laws can be en-
foreeu. This has been eepeoially the onee
with regard to vaccination, some people
maintaining that if their children must be
vaccinated to attend ovening schools it
is going to entail loss of work by the
children at tho colllories during the devel
opment of the vaccination. It has been at
tempted in the recent past to mako clear to
those concerned that tho enforcement of that
part of the vaccination law will not be
strictly adhered to. Under authority of the
School Board Superintendent Cooper will ad
mit applicants for admission to evening
schools, whether or not thoy aro vaccinated.
In doing this tho Board does not ignore tho
law, but takes tho ground that for tho
prosent it will not enforce it, but will bo at
liborty to do so at ouy tlmo it may doem
necessary.
As to tho day schools tho policy is quite
different. All pupils must bo vaccinated.
It has beon learned that somo pcoplo who
aro opposed to vaccination will attempt to
evado tho operation by keeping tholr chil
dren home from school. In such cases, tho
school officials say, tho parents rondor them
selves Hablo to prosecution for misdemeanor
In not obeying tho compulsory education
law. A claim has been made in ono or two
instances that tho law is unconstitutional,
but the question has already been tested,
notably in tho Dauphin county courts, and
tho law has been upheld.
Superintendent Cooper and Truant Officer
Smith have been particularly active in the
enforcement of tho truancy laws and their
work is proving quito effective. The modus
operandi is as follows: A teacher issues a
notico to the effect that one of her pupils is
absent from school. This notico is handed
to tho Truant Offlcor who calls at tho pupil's
nome to ascertain tho cause of tho absence.
If it is found that tho pupil Is a truant he or
sho Is taken boforo tho superintendent. That
olllclal has a peculiar method of porsuaslon
which soldom fails lu effect. As a matter of
fact, it has not failed thus fur. Evidcnco of
this is given by a report of Truant Officer
Smith on his work of yesterday. Briefly, it
was as tollows: Absontces, 20, Truants,
nono.
In this connection thoro aro developments
which appeal to tho charitable Of the
twenty children absent from tho schools yes
terday not ono was found to bo a truant.
Many were absent on account of illness
and a largo proportion on account of
not having proper clothes or footwear. They
aro children of parents who havo not yet
succeeded in sufficiently recovering from tho
ellccts of tho hard times to be able to provide
theso necossaries of life. It is stated that
there aro several worthy families lu need of
assistance In this direction. Of course, the
law doos not recognize complaints of this
kind as a legal excuse and it can bo roadllv
understood that tho school authorities have a
very unpleasant duty to perform in somo
cases.
