Excerpt from Yale YesterdaysClarence Deming was known to many but under stood by few. This was not due to any reserve, either of manner or of expression, on his part. As a jour malist he was obliged constantly to come into contact with all sorts and conditions of men. Through his writings he was known to many who had never seen him. If, nevertheless, comparatively few really under stood the nature and character of the man, the cause lay, not in any concealment on his part, but rather in an altogether exceptional frankness and honesty. His scorn of appearances and of conventions was so great that appearances Often did him injustice. In an age which attaches such value to the label as to throw about it the protection Of the law, he was willing to go without any label, rather than wear one that he might not merit. Few knew that words which sounded blunt voiced a disposition kindly and gentle, as well as an honesty Of purpose so courageous, that it was indifferent to the impression produced on others. His courage was especially conspicuous when, as Often happened, he was engaged in fighting some political or moral wrong. Then the recording journalist was con verted into the reforming citizen, and he would keep up the fight regardless of the prejudice or indifference Of those who should have helped him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
