Henry Cabot Lodge (May 12, 1850 – November 9, 1924) was an
American statesman, a Republican politician, and a noted
historian.
Lodge was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of John Lodge
and Anna Cabot. His great-grandfather was former Senator George
Cabot. Lodge grew up on Boston's Beacon Hill after spending part of
his childhood in Nahant, Massachusetts. In 1872 he graduated from
Harvard College. At Harvard he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity (Alpha chapter) and the Porcellian Club. He also was a
member of the Hasty Pudding Club and took part in an early show.
After traveling through Europe, Lodge returned to Harvard where he
became the first student of Harvard University to graduate with a
Ph.D. in History. His teacher and mentor during his graduate
studies was Henry Adams; Lodge would maintain a lifelong friendship
with Adams. Lodge 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 served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
Lodge represented his home state in the United States House of
Representatives from 1887 to 1893 and in the Senate from 1893 to
1924.
Lodge died in 1924 of stroke at the age of 74. He was interred
in the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
