Excerpt from Sixty Years of Saint Lawrence The formulation of the general plan of the book, the gathering of a large part of the material and the group ing of it in chapters according to the original design, was mainly the work of Professor Hardie. When this stage had been reached a long halt followed. The subscriptions were not yet adequate, no definite arrangements had been made for publication, there was still much labor to be performed in preparing the copy; no one had courage to proceed. Finally, in the fall of 1914, at the joint sug gestion of Professors Gaines and Hardie, the class of 1916, which was then planning to issue an annual of the usual ephemeral type, decided in lieu of that to complete and publish this far more valuable and lasting memorial; and in commemoration of their graduation date in the sixtieth year since the founding of the University, they chose as the title Sixty 1 ears of St. Lawrence. Great credit is due to the business manager, Mr. G. A. Manley, who secured the necessary number of subscriptions and made admi rable arrangements for publication by one of the best book-publishing firms in the country, and to Mr. Malcolm Black, chief Of the editorial staff, who zealously collabo rated with Professor Gaines in the heavy task of complet ing the copy and following it through the press-work.
