Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Class of Seventy-Nine, Yale College Along time ago an objurgation was launched against the Scribes, from which they have never entirely recovered. As one of them, I feel the weight of a similar judgment that is likely to be renewed by my classmates when they discover in the following pages what they look like and what they really are. It is a rare opportunity for you, gentlemen, - one that is not offered more than once in a lifetime; and if I suffer in your estimation for what I have written I suffer in company with many a good man who has gone before me. But if I have refused to extenuate I have put down naught in malice. It is the record of your own careers that speaks, not your scribe who is the vehicle of that deposition which you have put into my hands. As the Persian poet says: "The moving finger writes, and having writ Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to alter half a line. Nor all your tears wash out a word of it" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
