(Charles Tarker IJaugha P TLo .HARLES PARKER VAUGHAN was born in Portland, Maine. February 17th, 1867. % He received his education in the public schools of Peabody and later at Phil- lips Academy. Andover. where he remained until 1887, when he came out to assist in a business his father had begun through his invention of a machine for leather working. After his father ' s death, in 1892. he and his two brothers continued and developed the business into the largest leather working machinery industry extant. In 1898 Mr. Vaughan married Fannie Winthrop Thomas, of Peabody. and with his bride sailed for Frankfurt. Germany, to exploit the machinery business in Europe. There, through the United States Consul General at Frankfurt, he was appointed Deputy Consul General by the Honorable David Jayne Hill, then Assistant Secretary of State. After getting the European business well established, he returned to America in the fall of 1900. The next year he and his brother. Ira, sold their interest in the Vaughan Machine Company, only to buy, in 1902, a half interest in the leather concern, Duncan, Hood li Co., Inc., of Philadelphia. A year later, being invited to the staff of Colonel Fitz. Mr. Vaughan began a term of service with the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, from which he retired, in 1913, with the rank of captain and paymaster. Soon after he and his family took residence in Philadelphia, he again went to Frank- furt, Germany, in the interests of the leather business, and remained there with his family until the fall of 1913. During the World War. Mr. Vaughan was active in the many war loan cam- paigns, serving as chairman of group 19. which raised 3 1 7 ' J of its quota in the Victory Loan campaign. After the war he served as director of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce for many years, being elected president three consecutive years (the limit under their by-laws), in 1923-1924-1925; and is at present a vice-president and chairman of the legislative committee. Mr. Vaughan is. in addition, active as vice-president of the Manufacturers ' Club. Philadelphia, and vice-president of the Union League, Philadelphia. The following tribute is from President Emory W. Hunt: Charles P. Vaughan has been a member of the Bucknell Board of Trustees since 19 20. Without previous relation to the institution as student or otherwise, he has manifested an interest not surpassed by any of its alumni or older friends. His gifts, first to the Stadium fund and later to the Endowment, were made, not when these campaigns were assured of success, but at their very beginning, and gave to them an impulse which had a very important bearing upon the result. No man since the days of William Bucknell has made as large gifts of cash to the College as has Mr. Vaughan. unless the General Education Board be counted as an individual. In permanent recognition of his generous interest, the Board designated the professor of Economics the Charles P. Vaughan Professor. And Mr. Vaughan has given not only money but time, thought, and wise counsel. As chairman of the Stadium Commission he enabled us to bring that enter- prise to a successful completion. His artistic taste is represented in important features of the new dormitory for women and also in the Mathewson Memorial Gateway.
