Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vassar
An absence of due praise to individuals dear to memory will be felt by some readers. It has been a matter of self-denial on the part of the authors to refrain from the tributes that come spontaneously in thought of benefactors, colleagues, and alumnae, but discrimination would be an ungrateful task, and it has seemed best to follow a uniform policy of reticence regarding the living. Of even the dead it must be said that discrimination is ungrateful and many a one who is less known to fame has given a service as praise worthy as the most renowned.
The difficulty of writing the history of the College during one 's own administration will be appreciated by everyone. I can only hope that the record will seem impersonal and fair, and as free from bias as we have tried to make it. Had the period not covered so large a part of the history of Vassar, it might have been omitted. J. M. T.
