Miraculously builded in our hearts: a Dartmouth reader
Edward Connery Lathem and David M. Shribman
About the Book
This Reader, addressed particularly to Dartmouth graduates, students, and friends, will also appeal to others interested in the history of higher education in America. "While preparing this volume," the editors write, "we developed fresh appreciation for that peculiar slice of humankind known as the men and women of Dartmouth, who in Hanover learn to analyze the verse of Milton, explore fluid dynamics, wrestle with Lu Xun, confront Aquinas, discover radiogenic isotope geochemistry, climb Moosilauke, build their own kayaks, sharpen an ax with a dual-grip handstone, and slip across a snowy campus on cross-country skis to an early morning class on Flaubert."
