Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War Against Germany As in the two preceding volumes of this series, the memoirs are placed in the chronological sequence of the deaths of those who form their subjects. The second volume dealt with the Harvard participants in the war against Germany, fifty-one in number, who died within a year of the entrance of the United States into that war. In this volume another arbitrary period is fixed, and the seventy-five Harvard men who died between April 7 and August 4, 1918 - a memorable war anniversary - are commemorated. This volume bears a further resemblance to its predecessors in that the memoirs vary considerably in length and fullness; and again this is due solely to the wide variation in the extent and character of the material which, with an equal expenditure of effort in all instances, I have been able to secure. As the third volume comes to completion, and brings the total number of finished memoirs to one hundred and fifty-six I am confronted with the fact that nearly two hundred and twenty more remain to be written. I had hoped to carry the task single-handed to the end, for there is no work of commemoration in which one could engage with greater satisfaction. But in fairness both to Harvard and to its sons, the dead and the living, the work should be continued with more rapidity than a single biographer, with other demands upon his time, can possibly hope to achieve.
