Lowell had been elected class poet and scheduled to read his composition on "Class Day" in July, 1838. However, he was suspended from Harvard due to his neglect of studies and general obstreperousness and was consequentially unable to perform this office. Instead, his classmates subscribed for the printing of the poem and it was ready by August of 1838, for commencement. The front wrapper is inscribed by one of Lowell's classmates. Within just a decade, he would be one of the most distinguished and influential men of letters of letters of his time. BAL 13036.
