About this Item
Description:
A photocopy of the typescript of the untitled speech Carver gave when he received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree at the University of Hartford. The typescript differs from the published version in paragraphing and in the deletion of one 17-word clause, which has been circled in ink on the photocopy -- thus providing an earlier view of the text of the speech than that which was published in the program of the Commencement (a copy of which is included here). The typescript is near fine; the program is fine. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. Seller Inventory # 004067

19pp. Typed, with significant pencil crossouts and additions. 4to. In 1966, the year of his daughter's graduation from Chatham University, Robert McNamara -- then serving as Secretary of Defense in the midst of Vietnam -- was asked to deliver the commencement address. The speech examined the role of protest in history and the effects of technological and social change. Although heavily criticized at the time for his role in esclating the Vietnam war, McNamara had already begun questioning the increased engagement and by the November 1967 would resign as Secretary. It was not until the release of the Pentagon Papers which detailed his own internal investigation of the war that his objections were fully understood. 19pp. Typed, with significant pencil crossouts and additions. 4to.
