add to cart   close window

The article focuses on George Edward Woodberry, former professor of Comparative literature in Columbia. For thousand of his former students his personality has remained as the most vital scholastic memory of their college days. A poet and a brilliant young scholar, out of Harvard with the class of 1877, he came to Columbia to teach in 1891 on the recommendation of James Russell Lowell. Everywhere the young age was full of questionings about the position of women, about the status of labor, about the validity of scores of accepted conventions and rituals, even about the very social structure itself.
