Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The College Warden
The following narrative was undertaken in order to record a life which was full of stimulus to all, and especially the youth who came in contact with it. The attempt is made to draw the picture from an intimate companion's standpoint, for such was the writer. If the filial affection show too markedly, it will be pardoned, when the intent of the author, to share a glorious example vouchsafed him, is known. This brief sketch is submitted under the title which appeared most suited to its bearer. He lost his personal identity in the exercise of his office. Biographical detail is omitted as much as possible, that alone being introduced which appeared to have a direct bearing on the character picture in hand.
