Hoover was born on New Year's Day 1895 in Washington, D.C., to Anna Marie Scheitlin, who was descended from a line of Swiss mercenaries, and Dickerson Naylor Hoover, Sr., of English and German ancestry, and grew up in the Eastern Market. Annie's uncle had been the Swiss honorary consul general to the U.S. Hoover worked at the Library of Congress during college[5] and also became a member of Kappa Alpha Order (Alpha Nu 1914). In 1917 Hoover obtained a law degree from The George Washington University. While a law student, Hoover became interested in the career of Anthony Comstock, the New York City U.S. Postal Inspector, who waged prolonged campaigns against fraud and vice (including pornography and information on birth control) a generation earlier.
