- catalog abstract "This collection contains five handwritten copies of graduate John Davis's Harvard Commencement poem delivered on July 18, 1781. The copies do not have transcription dates, but were probably made between 1782 and 1785, and may have been created due to the poem's popularity among students or as a class assignment. The poem was delivered by Davis as part of the Commencement exercises on July 18, 1781, during the College's first public Commencement since the Revolutionary War interrupted the annual tradition in 1773. The poem imitates a classical style popular among Harvard Commencement poems of the late 18th century but is unusual in its focus on the Revolutionary War. The poem references Harvard leaders John Wadsworth, Andrew Eliot, John Winthrop, and Samuel Williams.".
