THREE BROTHERS DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI
AMONG THE ALUMNI attending the 100 th . anniversary celebration, on Oct. 2 and 3, of the founding of Kappa Kappa Kappa Society were three brothers of a distinguished New England family, the Coxes —Guy W. '93, Louis S. '96, and Channing H. 'oi.
The life of each of the three men, orig- inally of Manchester, N. H., forms a not- able record of achievement.
The first member of the family to attend Dartmouth was Guy Cox, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1893. Following this, he attended Boston University Law School and, in 1896, graduated magna cum laude. A long career in law, politics, and civic af- fairs followed, culminating, in 1936, with his election to the presidency of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, in Boston, of which he had been vice presi- dent and general counsel for some 12 years previous. His other posts in public life in- clude service on the Boston Common Council; in the Massachusetts legislature; as chairman of the Special Tax Commis- sion of Massachusetts, in 1907; as a mem- ber of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention, 1917-19; and as a Sinking Fund commissioner of Boston since 1929.
The second brother, Louis Sherburne Cox, like his older brother, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth—in 1896. Still following in the footsteps of his pred- ecessor, he took his LL.B. magna cumlaude from Boston University Law School in 1899. He engaged in private law practice in Lawrence, Mass., from 1900 to 1918, when he became a Justice in the Massachu- setts Superior Court. In 1937 he was ap- pointed to his present position as Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massa- chusetts. Like the rest of the Cox family, he has had his share in politics, serving on the Republican State Committee, in the State Senate, and as District Attorney for the eastern Massachusetts district until his ap- pointment to the Supreme Court.
Charming H. Cox graduated from Dart- mouth in 1901, and took his LL. B. from Harvard in 1904. He has been even more prominent than his brothers in political and civic affairs of Massachusetts. He served in the state House of Represent- atives from 1910 to 1918 (he was Speaker, 1915-18), and in 1919 was elected Lieuten- ant Governor. From 1921 to 1924 he served as governor, and since then he has twice been chairman of the Massachusetts dele- gation to the National Republican Con- vention—in 1924 and 1928. In 1933 he ac- cepted the appointment of President of the Old Colony Trust Company of Boston. He is on the board of several of Boston's lead- ing philanthropic organizations, is a di- rector of several firms and the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and is a trustee of such institutions as the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank, Wheaton College, Boston University, Boston Publishing Company, and the New England Conservatory of Music.
FAMOUS MEMBERS OF KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA Among alumni attending the recent centennial celebration of the Society were Louis S.Cox '96, Channing H. Cox '01, and Guy W. Cox '93, three brothers prominent in publiclife. Channing Cox served as toastmaster at the Centennial Banquet.
