Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Days With Uncle Sam Just fourteen years ago in that fateful year 1905 while I was attending one of the F. A. classes of the Rajshahi College there came to read with us a young man with among others one marked peculiarity, which I still remember, namely that his hairs were too stiff to bend down no matter how much he would try. He always looked the rough, though reliable, product of the country and we all liked him. We liked him all the more because he was poor, very poor, with as great an eagerness for learning. He used to manage his expenses at first by private tuition and very soon afterwards came to live with us in the house of my father, the Hon´ble Babu Kishori Mohan Chaudburi, Pleader, Rajshahi, (now a member of the Bengal Legislative Council). Later on we happened to be members of a Debating Club where his straightforwardness, liberalism and originality charmed me and brought us closer. Some five months after the F. A. Examination and the immediate parting that followed, I found him one day selling newspapers as a newsboy in one of the streets of Calcutta. With simple dhuti and chadar and the bare-feet he hardly looked like the man who had ever been to college. My admiration and sympathy, no doubt, increased a good deal and I brought him to my mess.
