    Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1984 Vol, 36

    TRANSACTIONS OF SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES 1984 VOL, 36 SKETCHES OF EARLY NORTH AMERICAN ACTUARIES E. J. MOORHEAD ABSTRACT This paper undertakes to give dossiers of essentially all the actuaries who entered our profession in Canada or the United States up to about 1872. It includes those who died or left our profession before the Actuarial Society of America was formed in April 1889, and those who, in due course, became Fellows of that Society when or after it came into being. The paper also mentions some of the conditions under which the Actuarial Society was organized, and suggests that a yet fuller story of how our prede- cessors coped with circumstances and events of more than a century ago would be a desirable record to document. Felix qui potuit return cognoscere causas.---Virgil (Happy is he who has been able to search out the causes of things.) INTRODUCTION Those who consider it important that a profession understand its own beginnings will agree that this paper should have been written at least sixty years ago -- early enough so that the facts would have been readily obtain- able, yet late enough so that actions taken, or not taken, might be viewed dispassionately. Those who regard the lessons of the past to be worth study- ing will wish, as this chronicler does, to see more done than has here been undertaken by way of placing on record the major events and the turning points of the stormy period in which our pioneers lived. It may yet be possible -- perhaps as preparation for our centenary -- to set forth appraisals of how our professional ancestors tackled such thorny problems as gross versus net premium valuations, tontine dividend systems, and sharing dis- coveries and ideas in an era of widespread mistrust.

  • The Great Warden and His College

    The Great Warden and His College

    CHAPTER Ill The Great Warden and His College Robert Brinckerhoff Fairbairn was Warden of St. Stephen's College for 36 years - from 1862 until 1898, a year before his death at age 81. He was styled the ''Great Warden''. by Thomas Richey, one of his predecessors, and that designation has continued throughout all of the College's history. The present-day college still gains a sense of Fairbairn's appearance and presence from the bronze bust of him which is above the mantel in the Presidents' Room of Kline Commons, and from the oil portrait hanging over the fireplace in the foyer of the President's office. In appearance Fairbairn was of slightly less than middle height, round, ruddy and of a stern visage. This sternness, however, was more that of dignity than of hardness. He was tender hearted and had delicate regard for the feelings and wishes of others. He was as devout as he was just, and abounded with kindness, self~sacrificing generosity, and refinement. 1 He was born in Greenwich Village, New York City, in 1818. His father, a Scotchman, was a modestly circumstanced book publisher and his mother a native of Poughkeepsie. After ordinary schooling and special training in the Mechanics school, he worked for three years in a book and stationery store, and then at the age of 16, decided to prepare himself for the ministry of the Episcopal Church. He started at Bristol College in Pennsylvania, and upon the demise of that institution he went on to Washington College (now Trinity) in Hartford, graduating with a bachelor of arts in 1840 at age 22.

Latiing, of New York. The Rev. John Jones was, as his name imphes, of Welsh extraction. The families in Wales bearing his patronymic, however, are so numerous that an attempt to trace his pedigree from any published records would seem to be a task almost impossible. He is stated to have been " Edu- cated and regularly ordained as a preacher of the Gospel in England," where he married and had several children. What is said, in some ac- counts, of his being identical with the " Johannes Jones " son of William Jones, of Abergavenny in Monmouth, matriculated at Jesus College, Cam- bridge, April 30th, 1624, at the age of 17, is now admitted to be entirely erroneous. As appears from the interesting autobiography of Rev. Thomas She; .re,. he came a fellow passenger with him in the ship Defence from London^j landing at Boston 3d Oct., 1635. Although neither his name nor that Shepard appears in the Custom House list of passengers of the vessel, ye this list contains the names of Sarah Jones aged 34, Sarah Jones, 15^ John II, Ruth 7, Theophihis 3, Rebecca 2, and Elizabeth 6 months, un-j" doubtedly his wife and children.
  • Bard College

    Bard College

    ! BARD COLLEGE Founded in 1860, in New York’s Hudson River Valley, Bard College is a liberal arts school that has consistently reinvented itself. Founded as St. Stephens College to prepare men for the seminary, the school became a secular undergraduate division of Columbia University, then all-male, in 1928. Six years later, the College was renamed Bard College, to honor St. Stephens founder, John Bard. In 1944, Bard went co-ed and ended its association with Columbia. Bard also become a haven for scholars who had managed to flee from war-torn European nations during and after World War II. Today, while it is primarily a 2,000 undergraduate college, Bard also operates an Early College (Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington, Massachusetts; four Early College high schools (in Manhattan, Queens, New Orleans, Newark, NJ, Cleveland, OH); two music schools (the Conservatory in New York State and the Longy School in Cambridge, MA) as well as several undergraduate and graduate programs abroad. Bard also operates a degree-granting program for inmates in New York State prisons that became a story on 60 Minutes. Bard’s president, Leon Botstein, a highly-accomplished classical musician, was the youngest college president in the United States when he was appointed in 1975 at the age of 28. Forty years later, he is the longest-serving college president working at the same school. Bard loses just over ten percent of a freshman class each year and has a higher attrition rate than other selective liberal arts colleges. The four-year graduation rate for the class that entered in 2009 was 60 percent, according to College Results Online.

I dedicate this compilation to the spirit of freedom, civil and ecclesiastical, born in the sturdy, courageous Scots, who, like the "eagles of their craigs," were keen- sighted, strong and fearless. The spirit of democracy which at that distant time protested against autocracy of church and state, having the courage of its convic- tion, tried to find freedom in Ireland, and later found it in the United States. Many of these men as "younger sons" left home, friends and comforts to stand for what is shaking the whole world today (a hundred and fifty years later) to its foundation. Here this strong offspring of liberty today stands ready to help the Old World take its stand for the same r great principle—like David, having not the armor of Saul, but coming in the name of the Lord God of Israel, not to kill, but to protect the great brotherhood of man. PREFACE. I have never worshiped ancestors and think the old saying is often true: "Ancestry is like the potato—the best part under the ground." I am too democratic to wish to tack on to royalty, except royalty of character.
