Mortimer Leo Schiff was born on June 5, 1877, the only son of the German Jewish American banker and philanthropist Jacob Schiff and his wife Therese (née Loeb).〔He listed himself as "Mortimer Leo Schiff" in the 1917 World War I draft registration. For a 1923 passport application he listed himself as "Mortimer Loeb Schiff".〕 While he worked as a partner in the financial firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. from 1900 until his death in 1931, he also devoted much of his time to the development of scouting in America. He was a member of the World Scout Committee of the World Organization of the Scout Movement and the Nassau County (now Theodore Roosevelt) Council Executive Board. After a long tenure as vice-president of the BSA beginning in 1910,〔 〕 during which he also appeared on the cover of ''Time magazine'' on February 14, 1927,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=TIME magazine )〕 he was elected president of the organization in 1931.
