CHARLES SIDNEY GUTTING Judge Cutting, the President of the Trustees of the Institute, is one of the most eminent lawyers and most valued citizens of the city of Chicago. He is sixty-eight years old, but has far more vigor than most men of fifty. His erect and commanding presence is well known to the students of the In- stitute, for h e has often found time in his exceedingly busy life to come and address them. He is the best all-round speaker in Chicago, equally notable for his wisdom and for his wit. No other man sizes up a situation so quickly or adapts himself to it so perfectly ; be the occasion a mere social gathering or an hour requiring a solemn restatement of the ideals of the Republic. He is a Vermont boy by birth, and in talking to young men he renews his manly New England youth but he has been identified with Chicago for more than forty years. For fifteen years he was the judge of the Probate Court, suc- ceeding in that office the late Judge Christian Kohlsaat, whom he later suc- ceeded as President of the Trustees. He returned to the practice of the law about nine years ago, and is today the senior member of Cutting, Moore and Sidley. Five
