  • Part Xiv: 1 915-1928
    PART XIV: 1 915-1928 For many years one of Keene's most famous institutions, and among the most renowned in New England, was the Cheshire House. The fine art of good plain food, established by host Morgan J. Sher- man in the 1880's, was carried on by Judson A. Reynolds after the turn of the century. Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone were among the celebrities who enjoyed the matchless fare of this Keene hotel. Another patron of the hotel was President Cal- vin Coolidge who, with his party, passed through the city on July 1, 1925. To the rear of the massive mahogany desk of the hotel was the maroon-tinted dining room where sturdy square tables, the sheen of soft linen, and heavy china set the scene of an older, more leisurely life with its solid, substantial New England fare. The traffic along Main Street and the noise of the Square were forgotten here, where steaming dishes and the clatter of heavy silver created an oasis from a hectic world. The menu over the years reflected the uncompromising appre- ciation of quality: tomato juice, cherrystone clams, choice of cold tomato bouillon, beef broth or vegetable soup to begin a meal, and no less than 25 various fish dishes. While the art of cooking fish was highly refined, New England boiled dinner, corned beef and cabbage, boiled calf's head with brain sauce, sirloin steak smothered in onions, or roast native veal with dressing proved adventures in good eating. The breakfast menu, described by the New Yorker magazine as the longest in the world, offered a variety of standard fare plus venison, pickled pigs' feet, and duck.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rhea Lesage June 11, 2018 [email protected] Nikos Gatsos archive at Harvard Library sheds light on Greek cultural history Harvard Library has acquired the archive of influential Greek poet and lyricist Nikos Gatsos (1911-1992), preserving his life’s work for future generations of researchers Key Points: • Manuscripts, personal correspondence, music, notebooks, photographs, and more from the avant-garde twentieth century writer will be made available to scholars around the world • The collection spans the humanities—from literature to music, social commentary to cultural history, philosophy to folklore CAMBRIDGE, MA—The archive of Greek poet and lyricist Nikos Gatsos has found a permanent home at Harvard Library. The acquisition is a key addition to the Library’s collections in Greek literature and civilization and will be made available to students and scholars around the world. Nikos Gatsos (1911-1992) had a profound influence on the post-war generation of Greek poets. Writing of both loss and hope, Gatsos’s unique blend of surrealism, symbolism and folk song created intense admiration and assured his place alongside his friends, Nobel laureates Odysseas Elytis and George Seferis, as one of the great twentieth-century Greek poets. The poet at 28 years old, Panagiotis Roilos, George Seferis Professor of Modern Greek 1939-40 Studies and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard, strongly encouraged the Library to acquire the archive. “Nikos Gatsos was one of the most prominent figures of the European avant-garde. His long poem Amorgos, which was published in 1943, during the occupation of Greece by the Germans and their allies, was almost instantly hailed by both critics and poets as an emblematic work of Greek surrealism.” Roilos continued, “The Gatsos archive will be a major addition to Harvard's archives on European modernism and of course to its unique collection on Greek literature and culture.
