[++] "These two volumes . bring to a close a reference work in eight volumes on California literature . A 'Bibliography of California literature; fiction, poetry, drama' . was brought out in 1938, and 'Criticism of California literature, a digest and bibliography' . released in 1940."--Foreword, v. 1. [++] CONDITION: ex-library copy, with imprinted call number on spine and rubber stamped at top and bottom of textblock; paper browning but still very good. The good news here is the the binding is super strong, with reinforced hinges for continued and unworried use. There is also little bowing to volume 2 (as you can see in the pic). The net result is reflected in the price making this a "scholar's copy"--highly usable but not necessarily pretty, and a lot more affordable than other choices.

Half leather. Condición: Very Good. A complete run of the 'Crimson' -- volume 52, issues 1-108 -- September 24 1907 through February 8, 1908. Contemporary dark brown half morocco over marbled boards. Minor scuffing and rubbing to the binding, but a clean and soundly bound run of Harvard's daily newspaper of record. The paper, founded in 1873, flourished at the beginning of the 20th century with the commission of its own building in 1915, located at 14 Plympton Street in Cambridge, which remains the paper's headquarters, and its purchase of Harvard Illustrated Magazine and the establishment of an editorial board in 1911. Former editors include two U.S. presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, and many journalists, government officials, and academics. The Crimson gave full coverage to all the Harvard sports teams, not least the Football squad. At the head of the issue of November 9, 1907 -- there is a large halftone photograph of the football team of the Carlyle Indian School, against whom Harvard was to play later that day. A walk-on student who had become a Carlyle starter just a couple weeks before this November match is visible in the photograph -- Jim Thorpe. The contest at Harvard before a crowd of 30,000 (according to the New York Times) was pivotal. Harvard had won all seven of its previous games and had earned a national reputation. Carlyle was coming off its only loss of the season -- a season in which they probably should have been National Champions. Carlyle defeated the University of Pennsylvania decisively, 26-6, two weeks before. [Penn finished their 1907 season with an 111 record and claimed the 1907 national championship. Penn outscored their opponents 256 to 40 in 1907; no other team dealt them a significant challenge, much less a loss by twenty points]. This 1907 season saw Carlyle change the very nature of the game of football. "Pop" Warner had returned to Carlyle as football coach for the first time since 1903 -- he credited two factors with the "new" football with which Carlyle was thrilling the world of sports -- unprecidented speed, and skillful execution of the long, forward pass. So, for Carlyle, their 23-15 defeat of Harvard marked a return to winning ways for that successful team. For Harvard, the pivot was in the opposite direction, as Carlyle delivered the first of three losses in a row with which the Crimson season concluded after a promising beginning of seven wins in a row. There is full coverage of the game on three pages of the issue dated 11 November -- along with an unusual graphic chart of field positions of the combatant teams during the first and the second half. (The New York Times saw fit to publish their own long account of this game, but they did not include the interesting graphic attempt to represent the game as it was played. T. S. Eliot was a sophmore at Harvard in the academic year 1907-8. Indeed, he published a poem and three stories in a Harvard publication -- but, as one might expect, this was the Harvard"Avocate" rather than this volume of the 'Crimson.' All the ads are included in the back pages of these issues -- (including a repeating ad extolling the "Marvellously Grand Vintage" 1900 of the Moet et Chandon "White Label." The importer recommends this bottle as "The Champagne of the Twentieth Century" -- citing the 1900 vintage as the best since 1884). The first leaf has a minor vertical crease, which does not affect the large half-tone photograph of the "New" Weld Boathouse. The article states that this now-famous structure was "substantially complete" and was to open, "soon." A fascinating volume whose size and weight may require extra shipping charges.
