Thomas Francis Woodlock. [Born] 1866. Financial editor.
A stockbroker in London and New York, he became editor of the Wall Street Journal and for several years was a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This widely-ranging experience was conveyed in the form of ripe wisdom in his column “Thinking It Over” which he wrote for the Wall Street Journal until his death. Notre Dame University awarded him the Laetare Medal in 1926 as the outstanding Catholic layman of that year. Very learned and unobtrusively devout, he was critical of the public educational system for neglect of religion. At the Century he was both an attentive listener and a richly endowed talker—with a vestigial Irish brogue on his tongue—whose every sentence could have gone directly into print without benefit of editing. A devoted Centurion, he served on our unsung Investment Committee for ten years.
