Century Memorial
Frederick Guion Ireland graduated from Harvard in 1868, and three years later from the Columbia Law School. Having practiced law for a while, he formed a class of boys to fit for college, and conducted it for more than twenty years. In 1896 he was appointed, on competitive examination, chief Civil Service Examiner for the City of New York, a position which his thorough education and abundant knowledge enabled him to fill efficiently to the time of his death. The application of the merit system to the complex organization of this city owes much of its success to him.
