Myron Kaufmann
Myron Kaufmann (August 27, 1921 – January 29, 2010) was an American novelist best remembered for his popular 1957 novel, ''Remember Me to God''. Josh Lambert writes that ''Remember Me To God'' was "hailed on publication as one of the finest novels ever written about American Jews and remained on the ''New York Times'' bestseller list for an entire year, almost no one remembers it today." Kaufmann's second novel, ''Thy Daughter's Nakedness,'' appeared in 1968, and when his third, ''The Love of Elspeth Baker'' was published in 1982, the ''New York Times'' called him "a man who takes his time." The later novels did not live up to the promise of the first. Early life Kaufmann was raised in Belmont, Massachusetts. As a boy, he composed serial adventure stories to entertain his classmates. He was valedictorian of his Belmont High School graduating class. He attended Harvard University with a concentration in biochemistry. After graduating in 1943, he entered the U.S. Army wher ...

Ivy League
The Ivy League is an American collegiate athletic conference comprising eight private research universities in the Northeastern United States. The term ''Ivy League'' is typically used beyond the sports context to refer to the eight schools as a group of elite colleges with connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. Its members are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. While the term was in use as early as 1933, it became official only after the formation of the athletic conference in 1954. All of the "Ivies" except Cornell were founded during the colonial period; they thus account for seven of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The other two colonial colleges, Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary, became public institutions. Ivy League schools are v ...
