|About the Author|
Lover's Credo is the outgrowth of a lifetime's devotion to poetry and to
humanistic philosophy and ideals. Corliss Lamont was steeped in poetry
from his boyhood in Englewood, NJ, where his parents often gathered the
entire family together to read poems on Sunday evenings. It was an interest
that continued through his education at Phillips Exeter Academy and
at Harvard, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1924. During a year's
study at New College, Oxford, he often bicycled up Boar's Hill to visit his
friend, the poet laureate, John Masefield, who recited his own poetry at tea
and served as an inspiration. Corliss Lamont took his Ph.D. in philosophy
at Columbia University in 1932, and remained there as a teacher of philosophy
for many years.
