for the family farm and store were
not over-productive and money in j
the Coolidge family was scarce.
In 1891, however, though con- i
siderably older than the average I
freshman because scanty mean- had j
prevented him leaving home, he en
tered Amherst. •
Prize Winner.
There, in his senior year, he won ;
a gold medal offered for the best I
essay on the principles of the Revo
lutionary war, the cn-npetition be
ing open to the undergraduates of
all American colleges. In 1895 he
was graduated with high honors.
In 1897 he was admitted to the
Massachusetts bar and began the
practice of law at Northampton.
Following two terms as mayor of
that city, two as city solicitor, two
in the state legislature, fourin the
senate, three as lieutenant gover
nor and two as governor, his pol
tical star shot into the national
constellation.
In person, Coolildge typifies the
New England gentleman. He has
probably never slapped a man on
the back. He is quiet to the
point of taciturnity in his speech
and possesses a twinkling eye and
a mouth and chin that, with all his
kindly smile, are as firm and in-
| flexible as Plymouth Rock itself.
In 1906, he married Miss Grace
Goodhue, then a teacher in the
I Clarke school, Northampton. Two
sons have been born to them. At
the time of his election as vice
president, the couple lived in a mod
est home at Northampton for which
they paid $32 a month rental.
He is said to own no real estate,
and has never owned an automo
bile. • r
