THE PASSING A CENTURY fr 'fffff' 1 P I 1 fl . , 1 , We dedicate the 1951 Gold to the century-old spirit of Beloit College, symbolic in Julius A. Truesdell, the oldest living graduate. Mr. Truesdell is not only the oldest living graduate, but one of the most distinguished. He was born in Waukegan, Ill., February 7, 1854, and was educa- ted in the district school at Afton and at Beloit High School. T ruesdell was a Beloit College graduate in 1877 and in 1881 he was married to Cornelia Riggs of the famous missionary family. He soon launched himself into a distinguished career in jour- nalism, including the managing editorship of the St. Paul Dispatch, and many years in Washing- ton as correspondent for the New York Times, the Philadelphia Ledger, and the New York Even- ing Sun. He was a reporter on the Beloit Free Press from 1874 to 1880, and was editor of the Beloit Out- look in 1880 and 1881. These newspapers are no longer in existence. He became managing editor of the St.PaulDispatch and from 1882 to 1887 was Washington correspondent for the old St. Paul Pioneer Press. In 1894 he became Washington correspondent for the New York Sun and from 1899 to 1918 was Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia Ledger and the New York Times. From 1918 to 1921 he was chief of the Washington bureau of the New York Journal of Com- merce, retiring in 1921. In 1924 he returned to Washington as personal secretary to Robert LaFol- lette, Sr., during the latter's presidential campaign. In addition to being co-author of a biography of Samuel J. Tilden, Truesdelledited an illustrated directory of Congress in 1888, reported to have been the first book set by the Merganthaler type- setting machine. lVIr. Truesdell now lives on a farm, Skyfield, in Bluemont, Virginia. He more than anyone else is emblematic of the passing of a century for Beloit College. His eminent career should sewe as an inspiration to the graduating class of 1951. His long and full life represents the solid past of Beloit College and her hope for an even greater future. His career and life together represent more than just the accomplishments of one man, they represent the great contribution that pri- vate educational institutions such as Beloit College have made to the progress and welfare of America. 4
