520 _a"A Williams Anthology" by Edwin P. Lehman and Julian Park is a collection of verse and prose from Williams College, compiled in the early 20th century. The anthology spans writings from 1798 to 1910, showcasing the literary contributions of students and alumni to various college periodicals over more than a century. The editors aim to highlight both the artistic merit of these works and their historical significance, providing readers with a glimpse into the evolving literary landscape of this academic institution. The opening of the anthology provides an introduction from the editors, emphasizing their conviction that the creative output of previous students deserves recognition beyond the confines of dusty library archives. They outline the book's content, explaining the selection process which prioritizes literary quality while allowing for historically significant pieces. The editors reflect on the progress of Williams College's literary culture, noting that while early works may lack the polish of later contributions, they serve to illustrate the developmental trajectory of the institution's writers. As the anthology unfolds, it includes notable pieces such as Washington Gladden's "The Mountains" and various addresses and essays reflecting a blend of patriotism, personal sentiment, and artistic expression characteristic of the era.
