 William C. Whitney entered Yale college in 1859, after having been graduated from Williston seminary, Easthampton, Massachusetts.  At Yale he had for a classmate William G. Sumner, since well known as a writer and teacher upon economic subjects.  The two divided the prize for English essays, and Mr. Whitney delivered the class oration on being graduated.  Leaving the Harvard Law school in 1865 he went to New York City and continued the study of the law in the office of Abraham R. Lawrence, now a justice of the supreme court of that state.
-It was but a short time after his admission to the bar that he attracted considerable attention by his stanchness to his clients.  Nothing could swerve him from what he believed to be his duty to them.  This characteristic was indicated in several instances. One of them was that in which Charles H. Sweetser, a classmate of Mr. Whitney, was concerned.  Sweetser founded and edited the Evening Gazette.  He sold out a half interest in his property, and then, losing control of it, he started the Evening Mail.  His former partner in the Evening Gazette preferred a criminal charge against him.  The partner had the support of many influential men, and Sweetser found it impossible on that account to secure the services of any of the lawyers of prominence.  He went to Mr. Whitney, who upon hearing his tale, offered to take charge of his case, notwithstanding that such action involved the possible unfriendliness of certain men with whom, as was quite natural, it was desirable that he should stand well.  Perhaps if had lost his case the unfriendliness would have been his.  It is easy to pass by on the other side of a man who is unsuccessful.  But he conducted the matter so skillfully that the charge against Sweetser was dismissed. And when Charles Reade sued Sweetser for libel because of unfavorable criticisms of the novel "Griffith Gaunt," Mr. Whitney again defended him successfully.  So much publicity attached to these two cases - and so far as Mr. Whitney was concerned the sort of publicity that is beneficial - that his professional position became equal to those in the foremost ranks.

 Mr. Whitney soon showed that he had inherited his father's taste for politics. Young, handsome and ardent, he naturally took the lead among his companions.  As early as 1871, in company with Peter B. Olney, Henry Havemeyer, Herbert O. Thompson, William A. Pelton, Edward L. Parris, Thomas Cooper Campbell, William C. Wickham, and others of the same sort - courageous, independent, and resourceful - Mr. Whitney established the Young Men's Democratic club of New York.  This club from its very foundation took its stand in behalf of honest government and reform, and aided materially in rescuing the city from the clutches of the Tweed ring.  Its members soon attracted the attention of Mr. Tilden, and Mr. Whitney and others became famous as his "boys."  Mr. Whitney took and active part in the campaign which resulted in the election of Mr. Tilden as governor and William C. Wickham as mayor.  The Young Men's Democratic club gave a reception to Gov. Tilden in 1874 and Mr. Whitney was one of the principal speakers.  He protested against the continuance of an inflated money policy, and made a plea for "hard money."  In the light of current events it is not inappropriate to give a brief extract, from this speech made almost a generation ago.  He said:

 In 1894 Mr. Whitney, on his return from Europe, was met by a delegation from the Democratic state convention, then in session at Saratoga, and unanimously tendered the nomination for governor of New York.  He most respectfully declined the honor, though strongly urged by the representative men and journals of the party throughout the state.  In company with his daughter he soon left for the continent, and at this time, June, 1895, has just returned from Europe.
-Mrs. Flora Payne Whitney was the daughter of Henry B. Payne, of Cleveland, recently United States senator from Ohio.  She was the youngest of the family.  While a very young girl she showed a great fondness for books.  She had tutors at home and attended the best schools of New York, afterward devoting a year to study in Europe.  She was an enthusiastic student, and devoted herself to sciences and languages with great fidelity.  On her return home her father offered her a brilliant social introduction in either Cleveland or New York, but she chose instead a course of several years of scientific study at Cambridge under the personal instruction of Prof. Louis Agassiz.  During her residence in Europe the young girl was in constant correspondence with her father.  Her letters to him cover a large range of topics. He regarded them as worthy of publication, but it was without her knowledge that the volume was issued.  Soon after the completion of her scientific course at Cambridge, while yet scarcely out of her teens, she married William C. Whitney, then a young lawyer.  That was about twenty years ago.  Her life since, until her death, was devoted to her husband and her children, but she found time to make and to hold a leading place in society in New York and Washington, and to establish a local reputation as a linguist, as an authority in archaeology and as a judge and critic of literature.  Her career as one of the leaders of society in New York began in 1879.  At that time Mrs. Frederick Stearnes announced that her large residence at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street was for sale, and Colorado. Oliver H. Payne, Mrs. Whitney's brother, bought it for his sister.  The Whitneys then began to entertain, and were soon after recognized as social leaders.  When Mr. Whitney became secretary of the navy in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, Mrs. Whitney  made their home in Washington second only to the White House in social importance.  They occupied the old Frelinghuysen house on I street, transforming it into one of the most luxurious homes in Washington.  Ex-Senator Payne, Mrs. Whitney's father is still living.  When Mrs. Whitney's first child was born he gave the young mother $1,000000.  Colorado. Oliver H. Payne, her brother, is also a millionaire.  Resided 57th St. and 5th Ave., New York, NY.

 | '''Henry Payne Whitney''';  "Like father, like son," has been exemplified in the course of Harry Payne Whitney, son of Hon. William C. Whitney.  During his three years at Yale Harry Whitney has made a brilliant record, socially and politically.  Although he is the son of a millionaire, and one of the most prominent statesmen in America, young Whitney is as popular and unassuming a man as there is on the campus.  He has a liberal allowance, but makes no show of spending it, and in this has always shown the true "Yale spirit."  His rooms in Lyceum, one of the "old brick row" buildings, are comfortable and well located, that is all.  He prepared for college at Groton, Massachusetts, and will graduate from Yale next year.  He was on the sophomore german and junior promenade committees and lead the junior german last winter with his sister, Miss Pauline Whitney, who had recently made her debut in New York society.  Whitney was also floor manager of the junior "prom."  This shows his ability as a society leader, but that doesn't make a popular Yale man alone, or the New Haven college would not be the manly place it is said to be.  Whitney is not a hard student, but he has the reputation of being the brightest man in his class, and wears the coveted Phi Beta Kappa key, which is bestowed on the highest stand men, after the scholarship is computed on the first three years' work.  He is also an editor of the Yale Daily News, a position which requires six months of hustling competition to obtain.  Whitney is a member of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity. These social honors which have been named in connection with Yale men are not of importance in themselves, except that they are all awarded by popular vote, and show how a man is estmated by 250 of his fellows.  Harry Whitney is one of the best polo players in the country, and has played on the Newport team for several summers.  He has just returned to college after a two-months' absence owing to his mother's death last winter.
