19120008106PROVIDENCE RI. Good. 1912. On offer is an interesting group of diaries and student handbooks dating from the early 20th century. Written by a student at one of America's oldest universities this is an eclectic collection of books. There are 5 altogether. The first measures 7 inches by 5 inches and contains 176 unlined undated pages. It covers the period 1912 to 1916. It is about 10% complete. The 2nd and 3rd are student handbooks measuring 6.5 inches by 3 inches containing 78 page of both diary entries and extensive information pages. The first is 100% complete while the 2nd is about 50% complete. The 4th book measures 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches and contains 22 pages. It is a pre-printed "Class Day" program. The 5th book is a 7 inch by 4 inch 10 page pre-printed "Ivy Day" program. The first book covers the 5 years 1912-1916. However there are only a few entries from 1912. The pages are neither dated or numbered. On the first page she writes that she moved from Scotland in April of 1909. The entries in the diary are very sparse - many times just a couple of words where any entries were made at all: "Went to debate with Herbert Brown at Hope. Hope lost." Feb 2 1912; "Had first game of tennis. Supper at Roots" May 17 1912; "Today we went to Concord via Lexington to have lunch with Miss Genie Barrette. We left 11:00 and arrived 12:30 fine drive In Lexington we saw the battlefield. After we had lunch we went for a drive around the town and saw all points of interest. We left Concord at 6:00 nearly loosing the car. We arrived home at 7:30. Carl came over in the evening."July 10 1912. In 1913 she is accepted at Brown University in Providence RI. Brown University is the 7th oldest university in the United States and one of the 9 that were chartered before the American Revolution. It is a private Ivy League university with a good reputation for research. Its alumni number many successful graduates in a wide range of fields. The 2nd diary details her daily routine in her first year at Brown. It is pre-printed with Brown University's seal on the cover. In it she describes her academic work friends and acquaintances and social life. The book also has an extensive information section about Brown University. "College at last! I am a really true freshman in Brown" Sept 24 1913. "This noon I walked up Creighton St. With Jesse. We took the math prize exams. . It was terrific ." Oct 11 1913. Bessie and I studied Math all morning and this afternoon had our famous math final. It was a scream." Jan 29 1914. "Ivy Day. I went in all morning. At night I went and tool Harold. We went for a long walk before and were very late in returning home." June 16 1914. The last pages record her grades for the year and the steps to the "Hesitation Waltz". The 3rd diary covers her academic year 1916-1917. Like the previous academic handbook it is preprinted with the university seal and contains an extensive information section as well as space for daily entries over the course of the academic year. As in the previous one this contains descriptions of her academic work friends and acquaintances and social life. "First morning in cap and gown" Sept 27 1916. In October she went out and secured a part-time job at Arnold Co. "Went downtown to see about a position in Arnolds. Will know later. Got position" Oct 12-3 1916. Arnold Co might likely be associated with descendents of Rhode Island's wealthiest settler family. She graduated in the spring of 1917: "Baccalaureate ." June 17 1917. The remaining 2 books are a pre-printed "Class Day" program from 1915 and a pre-printed "Ivy Day" program for 1917. Both contain details of these university events. The Class Day program has photographs of class officers as well as senior class rolls. Also included is a certificate from the Department of Public Schools Providence RI appointing her as a student teacher in the school system for September 1917. Dated June 18th she makes no reference to it in her diary. Casual research suggests that she did in fact work as a teacher in Providence but there is not conclusive evidence. No other biographical information was found. The Brown University documents provide an excellent look at what Brown felt was necessary for students to know and have at their fingertips as they followed their studies. It lists various regulations student organizations and details of campus life. For a researcher or historian of Brown University or indeed any Ivy League school it provides an excellent benchmark for comparisons a century later.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF EARLY 20TH CENTURY 1910s UNITED STATES NEW ENGLAND RHODE ISLAND RUTH YOUNG; UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN AMERICA IN 1910s BROWN UNIVERSITY; IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS; PROVIDENCE RI 1917 "IVY DAY" PROGRAM "CLASS DAY" PROGRAM AT BROWN BROWN UNIVERSITY EVENTS IN 1910S BROWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNAE EARLY FEMALE STUDENTS AT THE BROWN UNIVERSITY AMERICAN WOMEN EDUCATION IN EARLY 20TH CENTURY COLLEGE LIFE IN 1910s BROWN STUDENT DIARIES HISTORY OF WOMEN AT THE BROWN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS LIFE AT BROWN UNIVERSITY WOMEN SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

Stylistically inspired by artists as diverse as Rembrandt Goya the Cubists and the regionalists his work has geometric and expressionist tendencies that give his images universal overtones. His themes reflect his interest in the common man religion and death the love of family and friends. Fine's well-written introduction gives a brief critical overview.

1952156830Los Angeles California: Anderson & Ritchie 1952. Please keep this note; it is from T. S. Eliot First edition sole impression the poet's own copy of her book with her ownership initials pencilled on the front cover and a typed letter signed from T. S. Eliot loosely inserted. George has added her own lengthy and modest pencil gloss of Eliot's praise in the margins of the letter. Ruth George 1880-1959 was a close friend of Emily Hale T. S. Eliot's longtime muse. They both taught English at Scripps College and in 1945 Hale bequeathed a collection of T. S. Eliot materials to Scripps College's Ella Strong Denison Library in honour of her friend. The Ruth George Collection of T. S. Eliot is now housed at The Claremont Colleges Library. Eliot's letter reads: "Emily has sent me a copy of your Christmas poem with the quotation from 'East Coker' St. John of the Cross. I liked the poem very much and want to let you know that I like it. I hope you write more as charming as this! With all best wishes and most pleasant memories Yours sincerely T. S. Eliot". George humbly dismisses Eliot's compliments in the margins: "It is mild praise for Emily's sake". The Christmas poem that Eliot remarks on was evidently an early draft of "By the Way of Dispossession" subtitled "T. S. Eliot: East Coker" which appears in this book on p. 27 bearing marks where the letter was previously paperclipped. The poem does not directly quote from "East Coker" and George's note suggests that she omitted the quotation from the published version and regretted it: "I still a little wished for sic this poem was still in this book I have no other association with T. S. E - a good deal in my verses in last book and in my years of reading & teaching & study use East Coker with the quotation. I had thought of writing to ask him but failed to". George's claim to "no other association" places this early in her acquaintance with Eliot as The Ruth George collection holds another letter from him 7 April 1953 writing in thanks and in further praise of her work: "I am writing very tardily to thank you for the second volume of poems 'Is the Seed Yet in the Barn'. I have really enjoyed your poems - I am sent so many books of verse and the experience of enjoying one is very rare! - and I think you have a genuine lyric gift a musical ear and something to say". George obviously cherished Eliot's praise and has written on the envelope on a separate occasion in ink: "Please keep this note; it is from T. S. Eliot on this poem 'East Coker' sent to him by Emily Hale. Printed in 3rd book". Octavo. Title page printed in black and green. Original green cloth-backed pale green boards labels on spine and front cover printed in black and green.
