Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Washington and the University of Pennsylvania Upon a wall in the Library of the University of Pennsylvania there hangs a photograph of the diploma given to George Washington in 1783 when he was made a Doctor of Laws. For some strange reason nothing has ever been written about this important event or of Washington´s connection with the University. Few know how intimate this was and no doubt believe the honour conferred upon so great a man was perfunctory and the natural outcome of hero-worship. It will be interesting, therefore, to see how well he knew the institution and its men, and how both entered into his career. The minutes of the Board of Trustees are distressingly meager at this time, which may be proof of their dignity or that the times were too crowded with events of national importance to elaborate upon their own affairs. Indeed the sessions of the University were frequently interrupted during this troublesome period. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
