Book Description

Excerpt from George Fitch: A Memorial But Knox College, after all, does not care to deprive any sister institution of her share in the glory of Siwash. The genius of Fitch made the atmosphere and spirit of that institution too typical and too comprehensive to be segregated on the Galesburg campus. What Knox is proud of is the fact that George Fitch is one of her sons; that by the quality of his work as a writer he won a distinct and a distinguished place in literature, a unique position among American humorists; and most of all that in his life, both public and private, he exemplified standards and' ideals which can bring only honor to the institution which had a part in the equipment and training for his work.
