Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Made to Order: Short Stories From a College Course
The gems of narrative here presented to the public were polished, all within a period of a few months, for the greater lustre of one of the courses in English Composition in Harvard College. They were modestly intended for none but class-room readers - that is, a privileged audience of about a hundred; but the instructor, feeling that even for his own sake the brilliancy of his pupils should not be hidden under a bushel, has urged them to overcome their bash fulness and offer their productions to a larger circle. In so doing, he has been encouraged by the friendly assistance of the publisher, Mr. Lloyd Adams Noble, late a member of the course for which the gifted authors wrote; and also by the kindly interest of several other graduates of Harvard - Mr. Charles Copeland of Wilmington, Delaware, Mr. Robert Wheaton Cones, Mr. Douglas Crocker, Mr. August E. Lewis, Mr. William Rhinelander Stewart, Jr., and Mr. Sumner Welles - all, needless to say, gentlemen of the very finest literary taste.
