Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hosea Ballou, 2d, D.D., First President of Tufts College: His Origin, Life, and Letters Estimates of Dr. Ballou´s character, ability, and work, and the popular demand for such rare wit as was his, it has long been felt should prompt a competent hand to write, in permanent form, the story of his life. Such a hand would have been Thomas Starr Kings, or Edwin H. Chapin´s, but both are vanished, and a memoir planned thirty years ago - to the deep regret of many - was never written. With extreme reluctance, I undertook, nearly a year ago, the difficult task of preparing this centennial memorial, as an avocation, in the midst of exacting and engrossing duties. May it help to make us duly grateful for the work Dr. Ballou did so well, and prove interesting and profitable to the reader! I take pleasure in acknowledging courtesies extended to me by the following, namely: the officers of Harvard University and of Tufts College, in granting access to manuscript records; the lamented Lucius R. Paige, D.D., in granting access to valuable files, and for interesting recollections; the venerable Thomas J. Sawyer, D.D. in the use of Dr. Bailouts letters to him; Prof. Charles H. Leonard, D.D., and Prof. W. R. Shipman, D.D., for helpful suggestions; the Universalist Publishing House, for access to its files and for the use of three steel plates; the Class of 1897 in Tufts College, for the use of two half-tone plates; Mr. J.M. Usher, for the use of a half-tone plate; and several archivists and others whose names will appear in their proper places, respectively, in the following pages.
