Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georgetown University in the District of Columbia, 1789-1907, Vol. 1: Its Founders, Benefactors, Officers, Instructors and Alumni After some hesitation I consented to do so, although, had I realized the enormous amount of labor or fully appreciated my own inability for the work, I should have hesitated longer before consenting. I have devoted much time and hard labor to this work, not un willingly, as it has been a labor of love; and I recognize perhaps more than anyone else, its shortcomings. The field is so large, the amount of material is so great, that much more time than has been at my command is necessary for the writing of a complete history of Georgetown University in all its details; while polish and ele gance of diction have been impossible.
