Biographical Sketch
Henry Cabot Lodge (1902-1985) was a U.S. senator and diplomat, the son of poet George Cabot Lodge (1873-1909) and Mathilda Elizabeth Frelinghuysen Davis (d. 1960), as well as the grandson of U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924). He graduated from Harvard in 1924 and worked as a journalist until 1932. In 1926, Lodge married Emily Sears (b. 1905), and the couple had two sons: George Cabot Lodge (b. 1927) and Henry Sears Lodge (b. 1930). The Lodge family made their home in Beverly, Mass.
Lodge began his political career in 1932 with his election as a Republican state representative in Massachusetts. He was re-elected in 1934 and was subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate in 1936. Through much of his early political career, Lodge also participated actively in military maneuvers and training, and in 1942, he took a temporary leave of absence from the Senate to serve in World War II with American tank units in Libya. He was re-elected to the U.S. Senate in 1942, but resigned in 1944 to serve with the U.S. Army in Europe. After his war service, Lodge was elected once again to the Senate in 1946. In 1952, he managed Dwight D. Eisenhower's successful presidential campaign but lost his own re-election to the Senate to John F. Kennedy.
In 1953, President Eisenhower appointed Lodge ambassador to the United Nations. He served in that position until 1960, when he joined Richard Nixon's presidential campaign as his running mate for vice president. The pair lost to the Kennedy/Johnson ticket, and Lodge briefly retired from politics to serve as the Director General of the Atlantic Institute. In 1963, however, President Kennedy appointed Lodge ambassador to Vietnam, a position he kept until his resignation in 1964, in part due to Emily Sears Lodge's ill health. In 1965, President Johnson asked Lodge to return to Vietnam as ambassador, and he did so, serving in that position until 1967, after which he served as ambassador to Germany in 1968-1969. In 1969, Lodge headed the U.S. delegation to the unsuccessful Paris Peace Talks with Vietnam. From 1969 to 1977, he served occasionally as an envoy to the Vatican for Presidents Nixon and Ford.
Henry Cabot Lodge's siblings were actor and politician John Davis Lodge (1903-1985) and Helena Lodge (b. 1905), who married Edouard de Streel.
