Excerpt from A College Fetich: An Address Delivered Before the Harvard Chapter of the Fraternity of the Phi Beta Kappa, in Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, June 28, 1883 I AM here to-day for a purpose. After no little hesitation I accepted the invitation to address your Society, simply because I had something which I much wanted to say; and this seemed to me the best possible place, and this the most appropriate occasion, for saying it. My message, if such I may venture to call it, is in nowise sensational. On the con trary, it partakes, i fear, rather of the commonplace. Such being the case, I shall give it the most direct utterance of which I am capable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
