Decennial Report; Class Of 1909 Harvard College

By: Unknown

A vivid ledger of early careers and civic life. Ten years recorded in detail. The Decennial Report of the Harvard College Class of 1909 gathers concise biographical sketches, reunion commentary and institutional notes to form a rare Harvard College alumni book: part university class reunion report, part archival roll call. It offers intimate glimpses of personal and professional trajectories after graduation, and reads like an academic yearbook collection for grown lives - a primary-source companion for anyone interested in early 20th century history or the history of higher education. Typical entries catalogue career summaries, personal milestones and classmates' recollections, supplying tone and texture rather than sweeping interpretation. Casual readers discover absorbing human detail; family historians and genealogists find a practical genealogy research resource and a source of reliable historical alumni records. Collectors and curators encounter the record as a piece of Harvard University memorabilia and as a complement to ivy league archives. Beyond its immediate utility, the report has clear historical significance: it documents social networks, local civic commitments and the shifting priorities of alumni in the years that mattered to Boston Massachusetts history and to the broader story of American higher education. Scholars of higher education history value its contemporaneous perspective; amateur historians appreciate the everyday texture of collegiate biographies 1900s, and libraries assembling academic yearbook collections find it indispensable for mapping institutional memory. Its spare, contemporary prose and candid notices make it unexpectedly readable; the volume functions as both social record and personalised ledger, with glimpses that illuminate attitudes to profession, service and family during a period of rapid change. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, the interplay of reportage and reminiscence rewards curiosity and connoisseurship, offering both readable narrative and archival depth. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
