Excerpt from Semicentennial Publications The Semicentennial Publications of The University of California are offered as an expression of some of the more notable scholarly and literary work of the University. Part of these publications represent important current activities in various departments; others are distinctly monographic in character, and are the results of long-continued investigations which have been carried to conclusions within the semicentenary year. Work on some contributions was necessarily suspended by reason of war conditions, but all the publications included in the following pages are either completed or nearing completion. These publications, of course, do not include the whole of the scholarly work of the University within the last years of the fifty-year period, for the University has also continued to issue its regular series and memoirs, while members of its Faculty have published text-books and other works not falling within the scope of the University's established series.

Excerpt from Semi-Centennial of the Litchfield Historical and Antiquarian Society The Litchfield Historical and Antiquarian Society is the successor of a Society of earlier date. The original Society was the result of a meeting held in the old Mansion House, which stood where Phelps Block now stands. This, meeting, held January 4,1856, was called by a circular signed by several citizens of Litchfield and addressed to the different towns in the county. As the result of this meeting people came together on the thirtieth of January and organized the "Litchfield County Historical and Antiquarian Society." Occasional meetings were held for a few years and officers were elected, and then came a long period in which no meetings were held. The last meeting was held on the twenty-first of September, 1892, and a vote was then passed making over to any local Society, when established, the exhibits and property which the original Society had acquired. On the third of August, 1893, a meeting was held in the Town Hall at which the present Society was organized. For a number of years the property inherited from the County Society, and that which the Society acquired, was housed in the building on South Street formerly used as a store by Mr. Silas N. Bronson. It was felt that this was a very unsafe place for keeping valuable relics. It was therefore a great relief when, through the generosity of Mr. John Arcut Vanderpoel, a room in the new fireproof Noyes Memorial Building, erected by him in pious memory of his grandmother, Mrs. William Curtis Noyes, was offered for our use.

Excerpt from Semi-Centennial Reminiscences and Historical Addresses, 1837-1887 It was nearly night when we reached Putnamville, about twenty hours from Indianapolis. My first inquiry of Mr. Townsend, the tavern keeper, was for a conveyance to Greencastle. He informed me there was none, but if I would wait till Sunday morning he would take me in his two-horse wood wagon for two dollars. I could have walked, and would, but I was no elephant, I could not carry my trunk. From supper to bed time I was entertained by Mr. Townsend with dolorous lamenta tions because the proposed university had been located at Greencastle, instead of Putnamville. Greencastle was an out-of-the-way town any how, away off the National road; no stage ran through it or to it how could it everamount to any thing, not being on the National road? Here, said he, we have a stage each way every day, and he continued, in this strain with short intervals, for sleeping, until about ten o'clock, Sunday, when he landed me at Lynch's tavern, on the east side of the square, and I was at Greencastle, lacking about two hours of four days from Brookville, one hundred and ten miles away.

Excerpt from Semi-Centennial History of the Patrons of Husbandry A number of books have been published dealing with the founding and early history of the Grange, and what they called the Granger Movement, all of which have been more or less helpful in preparing this history. My trouble has not been to find material, but to determine what to use of the material at hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Celebration of the Semicentennial Anniversary of the Act of Emancipation The negroes of this country are very much interested in having this opportunity to show to the people of the United States just what progress they have made in the 50 years of their freedom, and it seemed to me to be becoming that the Nation itself should become an instrumentality in enabling the negroes to make this display. The enactment of the law which is pending before this committee would appropriate to that end, to be expended Under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury and under such rules and regulations as might be formulated by the Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Francis. The question has been raised here that this commit tee has no authority to make any appropriation whatever.

Excerpt from An Ode on the Semi-Centennial of Franklin and Marshall College Now, on this memorable day, Within this fertile garden of the land Blessed with perennial streams, Swatara, Octoraro, and Pequea, And hundred brooklets clear as they With which the region teems; Rich with alluvial valleys, that the hand Sprung from the German, honorably tills, And where the cattle on a thousand hills.
