Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Yale Life: Being Selections, Humorous and Descriptive, From the and Newspapers This little volume owes its publication to a vacation which the editor recently passed at New Haven. The interest of the subject had been, however, held in mind for some time, and the resolve made to offer the results of the study to the public, if circumstances should permit. The attempt to illustrate the social life of a college by means of short, crisp articles, the work of undergraduate authors, writing in full accord with the spirit of their times, is, so far as the writer can learn, entirely unique, in this country. In some memorial volumes, such as the "Harvard Book" and the "Yale Book," certain phases of undergraduate life, particularly athletics, have been fully and well summarized, from the standpoint of the contributor who takes a retrospective view of their development. "Verses from the Harvard Advocate" and Yale "Elm Leaves" do justice to the creditable productions in rhyme which have emanated from each of these historic institutions. In the dainty little volume of Professor Henry A. Beers, modestly entitled "Odds and Ends," may be found many a reflected sunbeam of our academic life.
