Historical Note
|
|
Everett C. Marston was born in Maine in 1903. After graduating from Colby College in 1924, he moved to Boston to work for Houghton Mifflin. In 1927 he started teaching English at Northeastern University. After spending four years on the Northeastern faculty, he attended Harvard for his Masters in English and eventually achieved a full professorship at Northeastern. In addition to his teaching duties, he was also involved with the student body. He was the first advisor for the Dramatic Society, and for many years oversaw the Cauldron, and the Northeastern News. From the 1930s up until his death in 1970, Marston wrote several short stories, plays, and novels. He published three books: Take the High Ground, Origin and Development of Northeastern University: 1898-1960 and a textbook entitled Business Communication. A few of his plays were produced in vanity productions and through the Northeastern Dramatic Society. Finally, the short story "Willis and the Insane Root" was published in Yankee Magazine in August 1970 shortly before his death in December 1970. |
