| Resumo |
This hardcover modern binding contains a twenty-page manuscript copy of the salutatory address given by Elisha Cooke at the 1697 Harvard College Commencement. The text includes edits and struck-through words. A one-page copy of the first page of the oration signed by Thomas Banister and William Phips is at the end of the volume. The document was removed from the College Papers Volume I, document 46 and bound in a modern binding. The address was printed in the Harvard Library Bulletin, October 1980. Elisha Cooke (1678-1737), a physician and politician, was born on December 20, 1678 in Boston, Mass. He received an AB from Harvard in 1697 and an AM in 1700. In 1714, Cooke was elected to the Massachusetts General Court and served in various state offices; in 1720 he was chosen Speaker of the House. Cooke studied medicine and assumed control of the medical practice of his father Elisha Cooke (Harvard AB 1657) upon his death in 1715. Cooke remained active in politics throughout his life, and died on August 24, 1737. |
