The Life of Daniel Coit Gilman Classic Reprint by Fabian Franklin Book PDF Summary
Excerpt from The Life of Daniel Coit Gilman Emily H. Whitney and Miss Margaret D. Whitney, daugh ters of the late Prof. W. D. Whitney; and the third, giving the story of his presidency of the University of California, was contributed by Prof. William Carey Jones, of that Uni versity. The editing of these chapters, and the preparation of the remaining five, embracing Mr. Gilman's life from the time of his coming to Baltimore until its close, fell to my share. After the work was completed, and ready for the printers, came the unexpected failing of Mrs. Gilman's health, and her death after a brief period of critical illness. The ap preciation of Mr. Gilman, signed by her initials, which appears at the close of the biography, was written by her for the book, and occupies the position which had been assigned to it in the first place; the few references to her occurring in the volume have likewise been left unaltered. Her relation toward her husband was not only perfect in point of personal attachment, but included an ideal com pleteness of sympathy with him in his labors and his aspirations; and after his death devotion to his memory was the absorbing interest of her life.
