Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical Catalog of the Matriculates of Haverford College, Together With Lists of the Members of the College Faculty and the Managers, Officers and Recipients of Honorary Degrees, 1833-1922 In the Spring of 1900 was published the first edition of this Catalog. It was the result of six years of work on the part of an Alumni Committee, of which George Gluyas Mercer, '77, was Chairman, and which included Charles Roberts, '64, Edward Y. Hartshorne, '81, Barker Newhall, '87, and Franklin B. Kirkbride, '89. This Committee was fortunate in securing the services of Professor Allen Clapp Thomas, '65, as Editor, and the accuracy and completeness of the original edition were largely due to his painstaking research. From the publication of the first catalog up to the time of his death, Professor Thomas carefully set down in the margins of the book such changes as came to his attention, and this annotated copy has been of great assistance to the present Committee. The College Records and Alumni Notes from the files of the Haverford News and the Haverfordian have given much information, and the Endowment Fund Campaign, which brought a great majority of the Alumni into close communication with the College, opened a rich source of new material. Questionnaires covering all essential biographical details were returned by over 1450 matriculates during 1920, and in addition, a good deal of information was obtained about men who had died since graduation. When all this information had been collated and put in the form adopted for the present edition, to each living matriculate was mailed a typewritten copy of his own history for corrections or additions. The present volume embodies the result of these inquiries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
When local author Dane Starbuck set out several years ago to write the biography of Pierre Goodrich, scion of one of Indiana's most prominent twentieth-century families, he soon discovered that it was impossible to really understand Pierre Goodrich without also closely examining his family. Starbuck's years of research culminated in The Goodriches: An American Family, now available from Liberty Fund. This work is a revealing window into the founding ideals of both Indiana and our country, and how our founders meant these ideals to be lived. The Goodriches: An American Family begins with the birth of James P. Goodrich in 1864 and continues through the death of his son Pierre F. Goodrich in 1973. As the story of two fascinating and fiercely individualistic men, it is compelling reading, but as author Dane Starbuck says in the preface, ''the later chapters of this book are as much a social commentary on American life in the twentieth century as parts of a biography of two accomplished men." In his foreword to The Goodriches: An American Family, James M. Buchanan, Nobel laureate in economics and celebrated Liberty Fund author, says, "The Indiana Goodriches are an American family whose leading members, James and Pierre, helped to shape the American century. . . . This biography makes us recognize what is missing from the millennial setting in which we find ourselves. We have lost the 'idea of America, ' both as a motivation for action and as a source of emotional self-confidence. We have lost that which the Goodriches possessed." What did the Goodrich family "possess" which made them so unique? A belief in the power of knowledge, the importance of education, and a strong work ethic combined to imbue the Goodrich family with a distinctive sense of civic duty. James Goodrich served as governor of Indiana from 1917 to 1921 and as adviser to Presidents Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. During his eulogy of James Goodrich, the Reverend Gustav Papperman explained, "The Governor felt that he had been given talents that were a trust, that he was to administer them faithfully. . . ." According to author Dane Starbuck, "Education was a large part of the Goodriches' work ethos. . . . The family viewed education as a process by virtue of which the individual remained informed, made better business decisions, learned the importance of citizenship, and was given an opportunity for individual self-improvement. Therefore, work and education became the centerpieces of the Goodrich family's ethical and practical life." In later years, Pierre Goodrich, successful businessman and entrepreneur, would set aside a portion of his estate to found Liberty Fund because he believed that the principles of liberty on which our nation was founded need to be constantly kept before the public.

Book Description
"This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
