Overview
Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) was an American statesman, a Republican politician, and noted historian. In 1872 he graduated from Harvard College. After travelling through Europe, Lodge returned to Harvard where he became the first student of Harvard University to graduate with a Ph. D. in History. He wrote his dissertation on the ancient Germanic origins of Anglo-Saxon government. Throughout his career, Lodge would be a vocal proponent of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. Lodge represented his home state in the United States House of Representatives from 1887 to 1893 and in the Senate from 1893 to 1924. He was one of four Republicans to rotate in the office of Senate President pro tempore from 1911-1913, holding the seat for just one day. He was also a vocal supporter of immigration restrictions, arguing on behalf of literacy tests for incoming immigrants, appealing to fears that unskilled foreign labor was undermining the standard of living for American workers. His works include: Daniel Webster (1883), George Washington (1888), Hero Tales From American History (with Theodore Roosevelt) (1895) and The Best of the Worldas Classics, Restricted to Prose (10 volumes, 1909).
