Sinopsis
Excerpt from Freshman English and Theme-Correcting: In Harvard College
The same process applies to the renewal of the Freshman vocabulary, which is a thesaurus of colorless words and threadbare phrases. One cannot, to be sure, present to each writer a stock of forcible, vivid words, and expect him to use them henceforth. But one can point out and it is necessary to point out many times.

Excerpt from Freshman English and Theme-Correcting: In Harvard College
In English A, the Freshman course in English Composition at Harvard College, there were last year six hundred and twenty or thirty students, and eleven instructors. There are two possible reasons, then, why a review of this course in its aims, methods, and attainments, might not be of any service to students or teachers of English Composition: first, the scale on which the course is constructed is probably much larger than would be necessary in most other cases; and second, the independence of the instructors, each of whom is apparently allowed to teach according to his own judgment, would not seem to promise a generally available method. In point of fact, however, these two possibilities are slight.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a window into the lives of first-year students at Harvard College around the turn of the 20th century. Written by an English professor, the book offers a candid look at the ambitious program he developed to improve the students' writing skills.

The book provides many examples of student writing, peppered with the author's often humorous and always insightful commentary. These samples illustrate the typical errors and weaknesses of student writing, and how they can be corrected. The book offers a useful overview of the basic principles of grammar and composition, and could serve as a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.
