More from George F. Hoar
His life, so far as he took part in political affairs, was devoted to objects wholly public, never personal.
He would undoubtedly have taken a very high place in the public and official life of his generation if he had found himself in accord with either of the great political parties.
Judge Hoar never doubted that the service of a clean, able, upright Circuit Court, appointed without political influence, and entirely acceptable to the public, was well worth the sacrifice.
I took a great interest in the founding of the famous Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and I was the first person named in its Act of Incorporation.
