BUSINESS LEADER WADE 6. U, REGENT George McNeir, Native of D. C., Is Appointed by University. A native Washingtonian, George Mc- | Neir, chairman of the board of direc- tors of one of the largest carpet manu- facturing concerns of New York, who rose from a humble page in the United States Senate to become one of the leading figures in industrial life, is one | of the new regents of Georgetown Uni- | versity, whose election was announced In recognition of his ability, George- town University conferred upon Mr. | McNeir in 1921 the degree of doctor nfi lews. His appointment to the govern- ing board of the university is a !ul’lher‘ testimonial to his career. ‘The story of Mr. McNeir’s rise in the | business world is an example of the success of others who have abandone Government careers to make a wa: for themselves in professional and business life. Born Here in 1860. | Born in Washington in 1860, Mr. Mc- | Neir became a page in the Senate at the age of 10. After four years' service he was prometed to chief of pages and performed those duties for an additional four vears. Then he was made assist- ant librarian of Congress and later post- master of the House of Representatives. In all, he spent 13 years at the Capitol, during which time he attended night classes at Georgetown Law School, from which he graduated with the degrees | of bachelor and master of laws in 1881 | and 1882. | During these years at the Capitol. in the midst of the reconstruction period, Mr. McNeir observed activities of the legislators when the latter were bring- ing order out of chaos through the ad- ministrative functions of Congress. Be- | sides this personal contact with eco- | nomic solutions and the business and social training he was receiving, Mr. McNeir was pursuing his studies in law Leaving Washington in 1883, he prac- | ticed law in the West for some years and then launched into a business ca- reer in New York. In the carpet industry, in which he has been engaged for the last 35 years, his abilities are illustrated by advance- | ment of his mills. Due Here Saturday. With James A. Farrell of New York, president of the United States Steel Corporation, who also is a member of the Georgetown board of regents, Mr. McNeir will come to Washington Satur- day to attend the inaugural ceremonies for Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., president-elect of Georgetown. The other newly elected regents are John Hughes Cassidy of Waterbury, Conn., attorney and president of the Georgetown Club of Waterbury, and Raymond H. Reiss of New York, a graduate of the college, class of 1919, and perhaps the youngest man ever made a regent at the Hfllwr. Mr, Cas- sidy is a graduate of the class of 1897. | POSTMASTERS RECEIVE GEMS FROM PLANE WRECK% Few More Diamonds Recovered | After Mail Pilot Crashes. ‘Warrants Prepared. By the Associated Press.
