"What follows was written as a memorial Minute on the life and services of Samuel Eliot Morison, for presentation to the Faculty of Arts and Acisnces of Harvard University. Such memorial Minutes are expected to be brief-- 1000 words, more or less. But when I attempted to sketch Morison's career and his services to his alma mater, I found it impossible to confine myself to that limit. The Minute that was eventually submitted was longer than it should have been, but it was still much reduced from what I originally wrote, and it is that full version that appears below."
