Trinity Sketches

Trinity Sketches presents a fascinating glimpse into student life at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, during the late 19th century. Culled from the pages of "The Trinity Tablet", the college's literary magazine, these essays, observations, and humorous anecdotes offer a unique window into the concerns, pastimes, and intellectual pursuits of young men on the cusp of a rapidly changing world.

Authored by George William Ellis and DeForest Hicks, these selections capture the spirit of a bygone era, showcasing the literary talents and social commentary of students grappling with questions of identity, tradition, and progress. From lighthearted reflections on campus life to more serious explorations of contemporary issues, Trinity Sketches provides valuable insights into the social and cultural landscape of late 19th-century America. This collection will appeal to historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in the rich history of American higher education.
