Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Agricultural Papers of George Washington We regret exceedingly to be obliged to announce the death of Professor Walter Edmund Brooke which took place on October 2, 1918, while his book was in the process of publication. The compilation of this volume, however, was entirely his own work and was, in fact, the last thing he did, for the sole purpose of elevating and dignifying agriculture by showing the intelligent interest and application of what were in George Washington´s time only the crude principles of what is now modern and scientific agriculture. We feel sure that the readers of this volume will be interested in the following brief biography. Any one who had the pleasure of knowing Professor Brooke will need no eulogy of his splendid achievements. Walter Edwin Brooke was born April 16, 1885, at Plymouth, Indiana, where he spent his boyhood days. Coming to Salt Lake with his parents, he entered upon his educational career in the Salt Lake public schools and graduated from the high school in 1904. After two years spent at Armour Institute of Technology at Chicago, he entered Yale. It was here that his widely known interest in young men and their problems was cultivated. During his five years at Yale he became very deeply interested in the welfare of his companions. Realizing that there lacked much to interest and hold young men when not at study or recitation, he made bold to approach certain of the faculty on the subject and asked to be permitted to try out a scheme to hold them under the influence of good teachers and companions.
