Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a reflective look back at the authorâs experiences as a freshman in Harvard College in 1884.

While primarily a nostalgic look back at the authorâs time at the university, the book also provides an interesting historical look at the culture, customs, and day-to-day activities of Harvard in the 1880s. The authorâs descriptions of both the faculty and student body provide a rich tapestry of characters that bring the era to life. Whether the reader is an alumnus, a student of history, or simply a lover of old tales well-told, they will find an abundance to enjoy in this book.
