A.C. COOLIDGE SUBJECT OF STUDY BY LORD AND BROTHER OF LIBRARIAN

A book commemorating the varied activities and scholarly character of one of Harvard's most distinguished graduates, Archibald Cary Coolidge '87, is shortly to make its appearance here.

Harold Jefferson Coolidge '92, assistant curator of mammals, and Robert Howard Lord '06, have cooperated in gathering letters and stories from all over the world to put into this memoir of Harvard's great professor. One of the authors is a younger brother of A. C. Coolidge while the other, Lord, was a much younger colleague of his in the History department of the College. Through persistent research and untiring efforts they have succeeded in gathering much of interest out of the voluminous correspondence of the famous librarian and peace worker.

While most of the book is devoted to the absorbing letters of Coolidge to the many famous men with whom he came in contact through his college and government work, the first eight chapters are devoted to the biography of the man. From the time he graduated in 1887 until his position on Hoover's postwar famine relief expedition "Archy" Coolidge was a true public figure.
