Historian [[George E. Mowry]] argues that:

<blockquote>Henry Cabot Lodge was one of the best informed statesmen of his time, he was an excellent parliamentarian, and he brought to bear on foreign questions a mind that was at once razor sharp and devoid of much of the moral cant that was so typical of the age. ... [Yet] Lodge never made the contributions he should have made, largely because of Lodge the person. He was opportunistic, selfish, jealous, condescending, supercilious, and could never resist calling his opponent's spade a dirty shovel. Small wonder that except for Roosevelt and Root, most of his colleagues of both parties disliked him, and many distrusted him.<ref>George E. Mowry, "Politicking in Acid," ''The Saturday Review'' October 3, 1953, p. 30</ref></blockquote>

Lodge served on the Board of Regents of the [[Smithsonian Institution]] for many years. His first appointment was in 1890, as a Member of the House of Representatives, and he served until his election as a senator in 1893. He was reappointed to the Board in 1905 and served until he died in 1924. The other Regents considered Lodge to be a "distinguished colleague, whose keen, constructive interest in the affairs of the Institution led him to place his broad knowledge and large experience at its service at all times."<ref>{{citation | title = PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION AT A SPECIAL MEETING HELD JUNE 3, 1924. | date = June 3, 1924 | publisher = Smithsonian Institution | location = Washington, D.C. | page = 632 | url = https://transcription.si.edu/transcribe/11810/SIA-SIA_000001_BORMTG_1920-1931_188 | access-date = January 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130013755/https://transcription.si.edu/transcribe/11810/SIA-SIA_000001_BORMTG_1920-1931_188 | archive-date = January 30, 2018 | url-status = live }}</ref>
