Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harvard College, Class of 1885: Secretary´s Report No; III, 1892 To The Class of Eighty-five: Again it becomes the pleasant duty of your secretary to spread before you his triennial collection of personal sketches and a general history of the class for the past three years. This period has been of much moment to Eighty-five, the professional men have followed their business brethren in settling down into their places for their chosen life-work, and now at the end of seven years since graduation the real life of the class takes shape and it is possible at last to know where to put a finger on the great part of us. We are still young; to most the greater part of life is still before us. Ours is the vigor, the spirit, and the ability to accomplish, - of the young horse, fresh broken to harness. The playful friskiness of South and of the untamed colt is gone, but the strength of the man is now in us. We are anxious to do much, to be much to the world, and, as we feel for the first time our new responsibilities and the worlds formalities, like the horses harness upon us, we are apt to be impatient of their restraint, and to cast longing glances backward at the old freedom of college days and life together in Cambridge. But such glances are but momentary; our faces are really to the front. The restraints, the burdens, are soon as natural as the old freedom, and he who bursts the bonds, be he not a Pegasus soaring above earthly things, is but a mad runaway who wrecks his burden and destroys himself. May our records be free from such! The necrology to be told is the sad part of the secretary´s duty in class reports. Well-known faces have been taken from us in these three short years, and the class misses Allen, Bridge Briggs, Hobbs, W. W. Smith, and Tylor among the graduates, and Corey, Frye, Richards, and Urner among the non-graduates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
