Excerpt from Sketches of Yale College: With Numerous Anecdotes, and Embellished With More Than Thirty Engravings

Sketches of Philosophy, and Sketches of History, and it is full time the public should have Sketches of Yale and although it might he wished that the crayon was in the hands of an abler artist, who could portray more vividly the scenes of College life, yet, as no one seems disposed to select this subject for his pencil, the author hopes that his humble efforts will not be utterly in vain. If these Sketches shall be the means of making the public more generally acquainted with the early history and present condition of this venerable University, - if they shall awaken in the breasts of any of her gra duates pleasing memories of his Alma Mater’ and send a gush of warm blood to his heart, as he recalls those joyous happy days of College life, - his wishes will be fully gratified.
