A Dartmouth Book of Remembrance: Pen and Camera Sketches of Hanover and the College Before the Centennial and After (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from A Dartmouth Book of Remembrance: Pen and Camera Sketches of Hanover and the College Before the Centennial and AfterIn January, 1904, two illustrated lectures were given by five of Hanover's long time citizens upon "Hanover Forty Years Ago." The room was crowded and the interest great. The lectures were afterwards printed in pamphlet form from shorthand notes and are a mine or perhaps better a potato patch of homely items from which every citizen might dig nourishment. But the pamphlet is out of print; college matters were not the primary object of the lectures; different people remember different things; some gleanings remain. And if excuse is needed for trying to take advantage of these facts, the sad knowledge of the passing of many of multiple memories and picturesque vocabularies without leaving any record is an incentive to lesser ones to do what they can or to try to do what they can't.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
