Excerpt from The Old Guard: And Other Addresses

He was born in Elm Street, New York, on May 8, 1841. Two years earlier his father had been called to minister to the then Elm Street Synagogue, and thus in close proximity to the house of God began his education. It was a modest, reverent home in which he was reared - the eldest son receiving the fullest measure of pa rental guidance. His useful life, his ster ling character, his chivalrous devotion to Israel, were the fruits of that training. His studious ways and love of learning made the task of acquisition easy. At school he was a lad who was equally bril liant in every line, and at the New York University, which he entered in 1855, he maintained his standard of excellence, graduating as valedictorian, and securing a similar honor in i8oi, when he graduated from the Law School.
