Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Orations Addresses and Speeches of Chauncey M. Depew, Vol. 4 Senator Depew served as president of the Union League Club of New York City for seven years, none of his predecessors or successors having served for so many years as president of this organization. It was Senator Depew´s custom, once a year, at the annual meeting, to deliver an address, which, under his treatment, became a political review of the year, not only of important events in the United States, but throughout the world. The earliest of these addresses was, I think, the first formal annual review made before the members of any club in New York City, and probably in the United States. These addresses, read by anyone who desires to obtain a consecutive history of great world events for the period during which Senator Depew was president of the Union League Club, will gratify that desire. They constitute a most important and valuable historical service. Senator Depew was not, in the ordinary meaning of the term, a club man; but he was called upon by various organizations of this kind from time to time to deliver addresses, until at last he became recognized by the more important clubs of the United States as an especial exponent of the opportunities and meaning of club life. The addresses were, of course, varied as the occasion demanded. For a number of years, it was the custom of the Montauk Club of Brooklyn - a custom which will not be discontinued as long as Senator Depew lives - to receive him as its guest of honor, upon his birthday. His addresses upon these occasions have been of more than local club interest. They have attracted attention all over the United States, and have been invariably published practically in full. As a member of the Transportation Club, for years its president, Senator Depew has delivered addresses upon economic questions, which have attracted wide attention.
