Century Memorial
After graduation from Columbia Law School Robert Chetwood Beatty served for five years as junior assistant to the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York in charge of grading damage claims and then settled down to the general practice of the law. After forty years he retired. Centurions recall his erect, stocky frame and especially a quiet reserve which made him that highly welcome figure in any group, a discriminating listener. Years passed over him lightly; no one could have suspected his seventy years. His regular visits to the clubhouse in the late afternoon, between office and home, placed him in an old tradition of the Century.
