    FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ESTATE PROVENANCE
    BABSON PROVENANCE
    this Loop covered Bowl was among a large collection of fine items (many dating back to the 1800s and as far back as the late 1700s)  — passed down from relatives to the estate of noted, well respected economist and wealthy philanthropist Roger Ward Babson (1875-1967).  Upon his passing, these items were inherited by his daughter Edith Low Babson Webber Mustard and later his granddaughters Camilla and Judith and grandson Roger Webber.
    Roger W. Babson was the tenth generation of a well established Gloucester Massachusetts family. Babson’s earliest American relatives to arrive in America were Isabel Babson (a midwife), who arrived with her son in Salem Mass in 1637. The following Babson generations were a lineage of farmers, merchants, midwives, religious preachers, and sea captains including Captain Charles Babson 1777-1850.
    There is much information about pioneer economist (M.I.T. GRADUATE) Roger Babson (1875-1967) on the web  (for example see Babson College Website click on”About BABSON”, click on  “est. 1919,  founded by Roger Babson”) noting his accomplishments including: founding of Babson College, MA in 1919 in , and founding of Webber College in 1927 (now Webber International University). Early in his career as an economist, Babson founded the Business Statistical Organization in 1904, selling business and investment information to companies. From 1910 to 1923, he commented on business and other matters as a regular columnist for the Saturday Evening Post. He also contributed weekly columns for the New York Times and for the newspapers owned by the Scripps Syndicate. Babson eventually formed his own syndicate, the Publishers Financial Bureau, to disseminate his writings to papers across the United States. Roger Babson earned the distinction of being the first financial forecaster to predict the stock market crash of October, 1929 (see “BABSON’S WARNING ­—INTERNATIONAL MAN” by Jeff Thomas on the web).
    Over the course of 33 years, he wrote 47 books, including his autobiography. He was 1940 candidate for US presidency for the Prohibition Party coming in third behind Franklin Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkey (it was noted in a local Wellesley Mass Column dated 1957 that Babson and his grandaughter, Camilla entertained Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at luncheon in Mr. Babson’s winter home in Mountain Lake, Fla.)  the Roosevelts and Roger and his wife Grace were dear friends.
    In 1948 he founded the Gravity Research Foundation. He felt that gravity waves should somehow be harnessed, and that this important force of nature was not being properly exploited.  Roger Babson extended his interest in the public’s welfare beyond investment counseling. He encouraged industries to develop products to improve public health and safety. Among businesses receiving Roger Babson’s approval and financial backing were select early manufacturers of sanitary paper towels and other hygienic products, fire alarm call boxes, fire sprinklers, and traffic signals.
    The one aspect of Roger Babson’s studies at M.I.T. (1895-1898) that he valued throughout his life was learning about the British scientist, mathematician, and philosopher, Isaac Newton.Roger Babson was impressed by Newton’s discoveries, especially his third law of motion--”For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” He eventually incorporated Newton’s theory into many of his personal and business endeavors.
    Another interesting note: Roger’s first wife, Grace Margaret Knight accumulated the largest collection of Newtonia (artifacts, documents and works of Sir Issac Newton, the person who most influenced the life of her husband) in the United States.
    Her collection was purchased by M.I.T. Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is now on display there.
