Decennial Record Of The Class Of 1897 PDF Download

Excerpt from Decennial Record of the Class of 1897, Amherst College As Freshmen we used to boast that Amherst is the most beautiful place on earth, though probably few of us really thought so. To the returning alumnus, however, this is a cold fact upon which he may enthuse without restraint. By Amherst, be it said, is not meant the Central Vermont Railroad with its level track stretching away toward Belchertown, nor yet that adjacent hat factory offending in turn each of the five senses. Passing these, we of '97 went first to Headquarters, registered and secured one of the cots, supplied by the ever thoughtful Emmie, in case we should want to sleep. Then we strolled out on the lawn and watched Miner Crary, Jack Carnell or some other born day - laborer decorating the house and grounds with '97, the purple and white, and countless Japanese lanterns. It occurred to us that it was dear old Richie's house we were occupying and we missed him, missed his smile of recognition and welcome. But Richie lives. If each of us could have told what he remembers of Richie, there would have been another volume of the Decennial Book and well worth the printing. Richie called a fellow up one day and said, Yes, that's correctly translated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
