[Morison's] volume is rich in details as to the customs and manners of three centuries. Precise and luminous strokes tell the story of commencement and Class Day, with punches and without; of institute and Hasty Pudding; of porcellian and A.D. and Pi Eta and D.U.; of Navy Club and Med. Fac.; of boating and baseball and football. Always the dominant influence has been of Bostonian wealth and family; but, even in the most puritanical times it has been high spirited.Morison, Samuel Eliot is the author of 'Three Centuries of Harvard 1636-1936', published 1986 under ISBN 9780674888913 and ISBN 067488891X.
