Although his primary interest was always business, he took great interest in the University, giving the Jefferson Physical Laboratory which cost $115,000 and also $50,000 for a chemical laboratory for quantitative analysis in memory of his son, T. Jefferson Coolidge 2nd '84, who died in April, 1912.
Mr. Coolidge is noted for his remarkable success in conducting great business enterprises. In 1858 he was chosen president of the Boott Manufacturing Company, which owned three large cotton mills in Lawrence. After he had restored the company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to a strong financial basis...
Later he was president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, and the Boston & Lowell railroad. In addition he was a director of the Boston & Maine, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Kansas, Fort Scatt & Memphis, and several other lines.
