Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Yale Life and Men 1845-1899 The story of the years which is presented on the following pages has, like all records of personal memories, its starting-point and, in large measure, its movement in the sphere of individual experience. If, as a consequence of this fact, a certain prominence appears at times to be given to its author which, in a volume of a different order, would not be manifest, and which, had it seemed practicable at the outset, he would have gladly avoided, he can only ask indulgence of his readers, requesting them to turn their thought, as far as may be, from himself and to center it wholly upon the life of the University and the men who are described. For the graduates of Yale, whether of the earlier or the later time, the writer hopes that the story may have an interest because it tells somewhat of the growth and progress, during the half-century just ended, of the institution which they love. For others, who as friends of the University are ever ready to rejoice in its well-being, he trusts that the book will carry in itself a pleasant record of the past and a happy prophecy of the future; - while to all, wherever they may be, who prize the privilege of the higher education, its pages, if they chance to read them, cannot fail, as he thinks, to bring some word of encouragement that the blessings attendant upon this privilege will hereafter be yet greater and more widely extended.
