Excerpt from Haverford College Song BookHE rai'son d'etre of the Haverford College Song Book is briefly: the exist ence of certain material, and a desire to foster the growth of the musical Spirit by putting into permanent form the best of this material that is available. In recognition of this long-felt need, and in response to an ever growing demand, the Committee has endeavored to produce a book that will embody, as far' as possible, the spirit, life, and traditions of Haverford. In this work they have been very much hampered by the non-existence of any form or semblance of a collection of Haverford music, so that it will be impossible to avoid the criticism that such and-such good songs might have been included. The Committee relies on the Alumni and friends of the College to bring to their notice any good material that may seem to have been overlooked in this collection, so that a second edition may be, if it is deemed desirable, even more representative of the past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
