Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oldest School in America
Indians who came in out of the wilderness to claim their privilege of free tuition, when Boston hardly reached as far as Winter Street. The little Puritan of the seventeenth century and the little Ration alist of the nineteenth look each other in the face, and understand each other better because they are both pupils of the Latin School. Nay, I am not sure but even more than that is true. Who can say that in the school's unity of life the boys of the centuries to be, the boys who will learn strange lessons, play strange games, and ask strange questions in the Latin School in 1985, are not in some subtle way present already as companions and as in?uences to the boys who are to-day standing on the narrow line of the present between the great expanses of the past and future.
