Harvard Classics

 

Born out of a discussion on "a good undergraduate education," the most comprehensive and well-researched anthology of all time comprises both the 50-volume “5-foot shelf of books” and the 20-volume Shelf of Fiction. Together they cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject through the twentieth century. Notes.

Edited by

Charles William Eliot

1834–1926, American educator and president of Harvard, b. Boston, grad. Harvard, 1853. In 1854 he was appointed tutor in mathematics at Harvard and in 1858 became assistant professor of mathematics and chemistry. In 1863, Eliot went abroad for two years' study, returning to become professor of chemistry at the new Massachusetts Institute of Technology.… Under Eliot's 40-year administration, Harvard developed from a small college with attached professional schools into a great modern university.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia , Sixth Edition.
