Excerpt from Anniversary Papers by Colleagues and Pupils of George Lyman Kittredge: Presented on the Completion of His Twenty-Fifth Year of Teaching in Harvard University; June, 1913 To provide for the expenses of publication a subscription was raised among nearly three hundred of Professor Kittredge's friends, with the understanding that any surplus should be set apart as a book fund for the University Library, the income to be expended under his direction. But the publishing house of Messrs. Ginn and Company, wishing to have a share in the tribute, generously offered to bear the entire cost of publication; so that the whole sum sub scribed, after the payment of a few incidental expenses, will become available for the Library. A special bookplate to be used for works purchased from the fund has been designed by Mr. Pierre La Rose. It is now the privilege of the authors and editors of these papers to offer them to Professor Kittredge in the name of the many men who delight to honor him.
