A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The gathering of material for this history of Philo has been a work of love. The time taken in preparation has been long but none of it has been wasted. As the sources of material were located and the material itself was obtained the plans for the book grew. Difficulties have been riumerous and oftentimes almost insurmountable. The lapse of time since the founding of Philo seventy-four years and the fact that no attempt to keep track of former members has hitherto been made, rendered the task of gathering reliable information very tedious. Especially difficult it was to obtain information concerning those members who attended college before 1850. Many of these joined the rush to California in the later forties; many occupy unmarked graves on the field of battle; many joined the great army of pioneers who settled up the western wilderness and were lost even to their own families. It can readily be understood, then, what obstacles the editors encountered in obtaining information concerning such men, two or three scores of years after their disappearance. So, after all, this work is far from complete. Our only plea is that we have done the best that we could under the circumstances. The assistance of other Philos and friends of Philo helped to smooth out the rough places and make the way easy. The abundant material gathered by Mr. E. C. Chamberlin forms the basis of this work. The editors have followed out in the main the plans he formulated. We also wish to make special acknowledgment of the invaluable aid rendered us by Mr. William A. Kelsoe, Exchange Editor of the St. Louis Post-D ispatch, and Col. H. C. Fike, of Warrensburg, Mo.
