1924. Illustrated. From the Preface: The Life of Henry Fowle Durant, presented on this the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Wellesley College, needs no excuse. In the half-century of its existence Wellesley has become a great shining light, set high on our New England coast. One can neither ignore nor forget it. Still less can we, who walk in that light, ignore or forget the man who with infinite pains and at heroic sacrifice of self kindled that beacon. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Henry Fowle Durant died for Wellesley. Those who knew him in the flesh cry aloud to the oncoming generations to remember this well.
