BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. was the 30th President of the United States, from 1923–1929. Coolidge began his political career as a Republican lawyer in Massachusetts. Coolidge attended Black River Academy and then Amherst College, after which he moved to Northampton, Massachusetts and apprenticed with Hammond & Field, a local law firm; he was admitted to the bar in 1897. In 1898, he opened his own practice in Northampton where he practiced transactional law. In 1896, Coolidge became involved in the local campaign for presidential candidate William McKinley, and due to his work on that campaign he was selected to be a member of the Republican City Committee in 1897. In 1898, he was elected to City Council in Northampton; in 1901 and 1902 he was elected City Solicitor. Later in 1903, he served as Clerk of Courts. In 1905, Coolidge was elected to a two year term, 1906 to 1907, in the State House of Representatives of Massachusetts and was reelected for the 1908-1909 term. At the end of this term, he returned to Northampton and was elected Mayor, in which position he served two terms. In 1911, Coolidge was elected State Senator for Hampshire County, Massachusetts. After a successful four years, he ran successfully for the position of Lieutenant Governor of State Library of Massachusetts – Special Collections Department Guide to Ms. Coll. 19 – Calvin Coolidge Collection Page 2 of 9 Massachusetts. He held this position until 1918, at which point he ran for, and was elected, Governor of Massachusetts. Coolidge’s conduct during the Boston Police Strike of 1919 brought him national attention and gave him a respected reputation. This reputation led to his election to Vice President of the United States in 1920. When President Warren G. Harding died suddenly in 1923, Coolidge succeeded to the presidency and finished Harding’s term with much success. He ran for President in the following election and won. Coolidge was a well-liked president, and he left the office still in favor with the American people. Coolidge died in 1929, one year after finishing his term as President of the United States.

  • Autobiography-Of-Calvin-Coolidge
    The History Public Schools Don’t Teach James Madison wrote that “a people who mean to be their own governors must be armed with the power that knowledge gives”. In “Democracy in America” Alexis de Tocqueville noted that Americans of his day were far more knowledgeable about government and the issues of the day than their counterparts in Europe. Tocqueville wrote “every citizen receives the elementary notions of human knowledge; he is taught, moreover, the doctrines and the evidences of his religion, the history of his country, and the leading features of its Constitution”. The founders knew that only an educated populace, jealous of their rights, would be strong enough to resist the usurpation of their liberties by government. Today many people know nothing of our true history, or the source of our rights. The mission of The Federalist Project is to get people the history public schools don’t teach to motivate them to push back at the erosion of our liberties and restore constitutionally limited small government. What we do: Use social media to better educate Americans on: Our true American History, and what the public schools left out. What History tells us about current events.

  • Chairman's Report Annual Meeting August 1, 2015
    Chairman’s Report Annual Meeting August 1, 2015 1 Report of the Chairman to the Members, Annual Meeting 2015 I was perfectly certain that I was traveling out of the darkness into the light. – Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge President Calvin Coolidge, the President to whose service the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation dedicates itself, understood the value of independence. When, as a young boy, Coolidge got the opportunity to attend Black River Academy in Ludlow, Vermont, the Coolidges did not hesitate. On a cold morning Coolidge’s father drove the boy in a sleigh to Ludlow. Though anxious, Coolidge was excited. It was not just education that awaited him, but the chance to set his own course in life. At the Coolidge Foundation we believe that every young person needs the chance to set his own course. In the past three years our debate program has helped nearly 1000 young people set their own course by offering them the chance to train in two areas they will need for meaningful independence: public speaking (style) and policy (substance) knowledge. There are many debate tournaments across America. Even if you haven’t participated in a debate you may have noticed the hopeful white tents on the Notch hillside throughout the summer. Those are debate chambers for our teens. Coolidge debate tournaments are special for four reasons. The first is that the New England community participates in them as judges. Among the many judges who have come back to serve more than one year are Terry Gulick and Professors Anne Buttimer and David Orrick of Norwich University.

  • Calvin Coolidge a Tale of Two Coolidges
    Calvin Coolidge A tale of two Coolidges EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Listen to Presidential at http://wapo.st/presidential This transcript was run through an automated transcription service and then lightly edited for clarity. There may be typos or small discrepancies from the podcast audio. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: Calvin Coolidge was born on the Fourth of July, 1872, in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. He died in 1933, just a few years after leaving the presidency. And he's buried on top of a hill in his small hometown near the Green Mountains. His body rests silently beside many others in his family, including his 16-year-old son who died in the White House. WILLIAM JENNEY: This is William Jenney, the regional administrator with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation. And we are standing in front of President Coolidge's gravesite here at the Plymouth Notch cemetery. It is a very simple grave site. It's on a steep hill. This land was too steep to farm, so they put it to another practical use. Notice on the gravestone itself, it says his name with his birth and death dates, but nothing else to indicate anything special other than the presidential seal at the top. Some people are surprised to see such a simple gravesite for a president. But it's very appropriate for him. He did say in his autobiography that, 'We draw our presidents from the people. I came from them. I wished to be one of them again.' LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: For this episode, I have a special tour guide. So, with me in the studio is Steve Pearlstein.

PRESIDENTIAL DISABILITY AND THE TWENTY- FIFTH AMENDMENT: THE DIFFICULTIES POSED BY PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESS Robert E. Gilbert* INTRODUCTION History tells us that Presidents do more than win nominations and elections. They even do more than govern. They also do many of the same things that non-presidents do. They are energized and they become weary, they succeed and they fail, they rejoice and they mourn, they become sick and they die. The Framers of the Constitution surely knew that the latter would be the case. All of them lived in states that had governors, and some of those governors had gotten sick and had died. So they realized only too well that the same fate would befall Presidents. After deciding that the United States would have a President, and only one President, and after deciding how the President would be elected and some of the powers he would be given, the Framers turned their attention to the problems of presidential disability, death, and succession—but they did so toward the end of the Constitutional Convention, when they were tired and anxious to go home.

  • Calvin Coolidge's Tragic Presidency
    Journal of American Studies, 39 (2005), 1, 87–109 f 2005 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0021875805009266 Printed in the United Kingdom Calvin Coolidge’s Tragic Presidency: the Political Effects of Bereavement and Depression ROBERT E. GILBERT Biographers commonly describe Calvin Coolidge as having had a sound, comfortable, supportive upbringing. Fuess writes, for example, that Coolidge’s early life was ‘‘simple, wholesome and unfurtive.’’ White and McCoy point out that the Coolidges were ‘‘aristocrats’’ and that Calvin was ‘‘a young prince’’ who was ‘‘brought up in as much luxury as could be ex- pected in Plymouth township.’’1 However, a close analysis suggests strongly that the childhood years of Calvin Coolidge were marked by great sadness and dislocation. He was an extraordinarily shy boy who had few friends and often was lonely. His father, John Coolidge, was frequently absent from the household, either because of his service in the Vermont state legislature or his various business activities. As Lynch and Kilmartin point out, a father who is physically or emotionally missing from his son’s life leaves scars on the boy’s psychological development.2 John Coolidge’s frequent absences likely created some sense of aban- donment in his son and contributed to feelings of social alienation.3 They also may have contributed to Calvin’s deep shyness since boys who have infrequent contact with their male parent are likely to have less outgoing Robert E.
