Читать книгу College Days - Стивен Ликок - Страница 3

Table of Contents

I present this little book to such of the public as care to read it, without apology. The “pieces” that are included in it appeared in bygone years in the Toronto Varsity, the McGill Outlook, the Harvard Advocate, the Princeton Tiger and other journals of the same uncommercial and ideal character. The responsibility for their existence rests with the brilliant and uncalculating young men who are editors of such publications.

I am aware that some of these sketches and verses are local and topical in their nature. But I have lived and breathed so long in a college atmosphere that I am convinced that all colleges are in a measure alike, and that what is said of one is true of all.

Many of the men whose names appear here in print are now numbered with the majority. I trust that it is no violation of good taste to leave any mention of them unaltered from what it was. I have no other intention than to honour their memory.
