Book Description
In condensing into one compact volume Mr. Irving's elaborate Life of Washington, care has been taken to retain, not only all the important facts connected with Washington's career, but also those circumstances and incidents which may be supposed to contribute to a full estimate of his character in all its aspects. Nor have any portion of the great events connected with the era in which he filled so grand and controlling a part been unduly neglected or subordinated. The work, in its present abbreviated form, still presents a continuous and complete record of American history during the period of Washington's official life. Mr. Irving's language, as a rule, has been retained; but in cases where a variation from his sentences has been necessary, in order to secure the requisite brevity, the paragraphs are enclosed in brackets.

Book Description
This well illustrated account is an intriguing tale of one hundred years of student life. It brings back the characters, the events, the fun, and the hard work; the campus in fall, winter, and spring; the hangouts, the laboratories, and classrooms; the apartments, boarding houses, dorms, fraternities, and sororities; the big dances, the pranks, and the professors. The book is fashioned from scrapbooks, oral histories, diaries, letters, newspaper stories, and the moments that have made up student life since the end of the nineteenth century.
