Preface

a

Tuts volume is designed as a sequel to my ‘ Harvard Reminiscences.” The men whom it commemorates were either benefactors of the College, or members of one or more of its boards of government or instruction. I knew them all, most of them with a greater or less degree of intimacy. My object has been, not to give complete biographical sketches, but rather to put on record my own personal knowledge and recollections of men most of whom held and deserved a large place in the public regard ; all, in my own reverent and loving memory.

I have added, in an Appendix, brief sketches of the first two Presidents of the College, who, as edueated in the mother country, are not included in Mr. Sibley’s ‘“ Harvard Graduates.”

A. P. PEABODY.

May 1, 1890.
