Book Description

Excerpt from Record of the Class of 1904: Haverford College Teen Hundred and Four. And though we ask that the rigid critic may be lenient with our inexperienced effort, we feel confident that there is upon its pages some thing expressive of Haverford life - that life, which, more or less, is a part of us all. Fil To the Haverfordian of past years, we hope it may avor of his day to the Haverfordian of the present, may it speak of a broader college influence and to the future Haverfordian, may it serve as a tie to the old College. To our lit tle group of fellows, however, it will ever serve as a hand-book of Haverford days. Fii When the cold winter nights come and the wind howls about the shut ters defying bolt and bar, when the largest log of all is placed upon the good old nrc-place and its glow falls upon a wrinkled face, then the gray-haired fathers will take down this dusty volume. Each one as he sits there, surrounded by the peace and comfort of a well-spent life, will quietly thumb its pages. Each one, to the coming generation, will relate the incidents that happened in old Barclay and Lloyd, and will chuckle with delight as he reads the old familiar names and views the boyish faces - and finally will shut the cover to, having lived once more his col lege days. As we pen this book, it is of these days that we think, - may they be lasting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
