Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Harvard Advocate: 1906 1916; The Fifty Year Book In 1876, in 1886, in 1896, and in 1906, like books were printed. The first was supervised by Charles Eliot Norton; the last by Thomas Tileston Baldwin, the best friend of the Advocate. It is a comfort that the compiler of this book has assisted in making the selections for five books. If one seeks a monument to the little old paper, let him look about in the list of young writers, and see how many of them became famous. No well of English undefiled is wasted, no matter how small its output. Chumming with such fellow´s is the charm of four years at Harvard. To have lived with fifty boards of editors through the last half century has been a privilege! Frederick W. Loring, Advocate ´70, wrote: "Dear friend, pray God preserve our youth, And grant that we may e´er remember. "In years to come, we´ll form new ties, Yet leave the old unbroken, When to our children´s lips arise The words that we before have spoken. "Nor need we ever fear to see Death come, this knot to sever; A college friendship! It shall be For life, dear comrade, and forever." Frequently sons of old editors have become editors in their turn. Three generations of editors in the same family may shortly be the rule. In the words of Roosevelt, Advocate ´80, in this book, "Let us not be unprepared." Let us dedicate this book: To the Third Generation of Advocate Editors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
