( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Gauss was born on February 2, 1878 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the third of four children of Katherine Bischoff and Christian Gauss. His parents had left Baden, Germany, after the unsuccessful revolution of 1848, and had established a general store in Ann Arbor.
Gauss received his early education in German under the tutelage of a strict German schoolmaster, then attended local high schools. He received the B. A. in 1898 and the M. A. in 1899 from the University of Michigan.
Gauss remained at the University of Michigan for two years, teaching romance languages; from 1901 to 1905 he taught modern languages at Lehigh University, first as an instructor, and from 1903 as an assistant professor. In 1905 Woodrow Wilson brought Gauss to Princeton, where he served for forty-one years. After two years as a preceptor, Gauss was appointed professor of romance languages. In 1913 he was made chairman of the department of modern languages, a position he held for twenty-six years (1913-1936, 1943-1946). From 1925 to 1945 he was also dean of the college, and from 1929 until his retirement he held the class of 1900 professorship of modern languages. As a teacher Gauss influenced countless Princeton students, including John Peale Bishop, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Harold R. Medina, and Edmund Wilson. This "most encyclopedic man" also served Princeton in other capacities. From 1914 to 1920 he was literary editor of the Princeton Alumni Weekly. He was an officer and a trustee of the Princeton University Press. As dean of the college he became one of the country's best known college administrators. When he retired, the Princeton University National Alumni Association created a new office - dean of alumni - and elected him to it. Although Gauss considered the post of dean "an unhappy profession, " his wit and wisdom made him one of the most popular figures at Princeton. A glimpse of his fruitful relationships with colleagues can be caught in the composite portrait by Marjorie Nicolson, R. P. Blackmur, and Donald A. Stauffer on the occasion of his seventieth birthday; the piece reveals a nice appreciation of his ability to draw out the best in his associates. Gauss's administrative talents were evident outside of the university as well. Gauss's bibliography shows the broad range of his interests. He translated Guglielmo Ferrero's Women of the Caesars (1935) alone and Jacques Bainville's History of France (1926) with his wife. With Charles A. Choquette, Gauss edited and translated A Short History of French Literature (1935). Other editing by Gauss includes Selections from Jean Jacques Rousseau (1914), The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances (1915), Democracy Today; An American Interpretation (1917), Madame Bovary (1930), and The Teaching of Religion in American Higher Education (1951). Gauss wrote Through College on Nothing a Year (1915), Why We Went to War (1918), Life in College (1930), and A Primer for Tomorrow (1934), an examination of the modern spirit and contemporary culture. He collaborated with a committee of fifteen on The City of Man (1940), and wrote several shorter pieces that appeared in the popular press. His writings have been widely anthologized. Gauss's influence as a literary mentor is evident in the volumes of poetry and criticism dedicated to him, among them Edmund Wilson's I Thought of Daisy (1929) and Axel's Castle (1931). He was also the model for the dean in Day Edgar's In Princeton Town (1929) and Edward Hope Coffey's She Loves Me Not (1933). Gauss died in New York City.

Gauss served on the executive committee of Phi Beta Kappa and was a senator and vice-chairman of the corporation; he was also a member of the executive council of the Modern Language Association. From 1918 to 1920 he was president of the Dante League of America. Gauss's commitment to democracy was demonstrated in his work as honorary chairman of the American Association for a Democratic Germany; as an executive committee member of the National Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom; and as a member of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union. In addition, he was a member of the editorial board of the American Scholar from its founding.
Quotes from others about the person
In retrospect, Wilson saw Gauss as the kind of teacher "who starts trains of thought that he does not himself guide to conclusions, but leaves in the hands of his students to be carried on by themselves. "
On June 15, 1902, Gauss married Alice Sarah Hussey. They had four children.
