d- Dr. Russell H. Conwell H. CONWELL was born on February 15, 1843, among the hills ern Massachusetts. Having come from poor parents, it was neccs' him to work his way through school. taught music, waited on tables, did all sorts of things to carry through Wilbraham Academy and Yale University. The Civil War, however, interrupted his college course, he volunteering and serving until the end. In camp he read law, and after the war he returned to Albany Law School. While at this school he worked as a reporter for a few' New York newspapers until he received his diploma allowing him to practice law. He had the gift of oratory and the young lawyer began to make speeches and deliver lectures.

Many people benefited by this lecture, which in itself is a homespun common sense story. How much money he gave can never be calculated, but it is a known fact that he died poor, leaving only a few thousand dollars.
