TO MY

ALMA MATER,

HAVERFORD COLLEGE,

IN REMEMBRANCE OF

THE WARM FRIENDSHIPS FORMED THERE,

THE MANY JOYOUS DAYS SPENT THERE,

AND,

ABOVE ALL,

THE LITERARY ASPIRATIONS WHICH SHE KINDLED AND FOSTERED, WHICH HAVE SHED A GLADDENED LIGHT OVER THE YEARS

SINCE I LEFT HER HALLOWED PRECINCTS,

THIS VOLUME IS

AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED.
