Excerpt from Princeton Sesquicentennial Celebration: 1746-1896 Harper, copies of the letters and telegrams of formal con gratulation, and a historical Sketch prepared by Professor De Witt. The entire volume has been in the editorial charge of Professor West. In the printing and illustration of the book we have been greatly helped throughout by the careful supervision and good judgment of Mr. Charles Scribner and Mr. Arthur H. Scribner, alumni of the university. By reason of their rich coloring and ornamentation, many of the congratulatory letters could not be reproduced with exactness in print. However, the letters have been printed in plain black, but with as much general resemblance to their originals as types would secure. To give an example of their artistic beauty, one of the finest, the letter of the University of Bologna, has been reproduced in facsimile ona reduced scale. The other illustrations are almost entirely views of buildings or scenes connected with the celebration and portraits of the twelve Presidents of Princeton. The chairman of the Sesquicentennial Celebration, Mr. Charles E. Green, died in Princeton on December 23, 1897. His sudden and unexpected death, after a life of labor and love freely given to Princeton, and his unremitting efforts in behalf of the celebration, make the insertion of his portrait in this book exceptionally appropriate.
