3lnsepi] Buffington |BT|UI)GE J()3eph Buffington was born at Kittanning, Pennsyl- vania, fifty-seven years ago. Here he received his early education; later he attended Trinity College at Hartford, Conn., where he graduated in 1875. For three years he continued the study of law at his home. He was admitted to the bar in 1878. In 1885 he married Mary Alice Simon ton of Enimitsburg, Maryland. He practiced law until 1898 when he was appointed United States District Judge of the Western District of Pennsylvania by President Harrison. In lflOfi In was appointed United States Circuit Judge of the Third Circuit comprising Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, by President Roosevelt. Judge Buffington has been a member of the Board of Trustees ever since the Carnegie Technical Schools came into existence, and in this connection takes a deep personal interest in the affairs of our Alma Mater. As a man Judge Buffington typifies that which is most noble and admirable. In manner quiet, yet tactful; gentle, yet precise in speech; dignified, yet with a sense of humor; these faculties have endeared him to all of his friends and acquaintances. By nature studious and observant, through his own college experience a friend of higher education he is now, as over, a staunch believer in the ability of American Youth to “make genul,” the proof of which his own life affords an illustrious example. 8
