Irving

Sands Olds (1887–1963) was

an American lawyer and philanthropist. He served

as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of U.S. Steel,

and was partner at White & Case. Irving

Sands Olds was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, the

only child of Clark and Livia Elizabeth Olds. Clark was an attorney, and Irving grew up in a wealthy household. Irving

attended Yale University for

his undergraduate degree, and graduated with a B.A. in 1907. He then continued

on to receive a law degree from Harvard in 1910. Upon his graduation, Olds took a

position as a law clerk for Chief Justice of

the United States Supreme

Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. In

1911, he joined the law firm White & Case. In 1917, Olds became a partner, and remained

as such until his death. That same year, he married Evelyn Foster daughter

of Pell William Foster (1862 – 1947)[3] founder of Foster Wheeler Corporation and Anne

Williams; and, granddaughter of William Foster Jr., president of the first

elevated railroad company in New York. The two did not have children. In 1915,

Olds was hired as counsel by J.P. Morgan & Co after World War I had broken out in Europe. In this capacity,

he advised the bank's export deportment which oversaw purchases made on behalf

of the British and French war effort. Following the United States' entry into the war, he served in 1918 as

an assistant to Morgan partner, Edward R. Stettinius,

during the latter's tenure as surveyor general of supplies for the U.S. War Department.  After

a stint in France opening White & Case's Paris office after

the First World War, Olds returned to the United States and became

involved dealings between his firm and the United

States Steel Corporation. In 1936, Olds was elected to the

corporation's Board of Directors, and in

1940, upon the departure of Edward Stettinius Jr., he

was made chairman and chief executive officer. He ran U.S. Steel for twelve

years, through the rest of the Second World

War, and into the Atomic Age.
