Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Haverford College: For the First Sixty Years of Its Existence; Prepared by a Committee of the Alumni Association To Him be the glory forever! we bear To the Lord of the harvest our wheat with the tare; What we lack in our work may He find in our will, And winnow in mercy our good from the ill. - Whittier. In the year 1877 the Alumni Association of Haverford College adopted a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of five members, "with full power to procure the preparation and publication of a descriptive and illustrated history of the College from its beginning as a School to the present time, as speedily as practicable." This committee consisted of Benjamin V. Marsh, Charles E. Pratt, Charles Roberts, Francis B. Gummere and Howard Comfort. They set to work in earnest, held frequent meetings and accumulated much valuable material; they asked a graduate of the College to undertake the work of editing, and obtained his consent. A visit to Europe in pursuit of health compelled the latter to abandon the work when very little had been actually written; and the committee, in their report to the Alumni in the following year, "doubt whether enough suitable material can be obtained to make a volume of much size," and ask to be discharged. They were, however, continued, nine other names added to the committee, and the editorship was in that year placed in the hands of another Alumnus, who "kindly undertook the labor of compiling the work."
