Co-Authors Kathleen Lusk Brooke and Frank P. Davidson presenting a first-edition in the Signet Library

Frank P. Davidson and Kathleen Lusk Brooke presented a first-edition of Building The World to the Signet Society. It is the custom of Society members to give a copy of their book to the venerable reading room, the Signet Library, where members gather before lunch.

Founded in 1870 by members of the Harvard Class of 1871, the Signet has flourished as a unique Harvard tradition ever since. Signet membership continues to be based on criteria set up over a century ago: character, intellectual achievement, literary or artistic talent, and an interest in the humanities and the creative arts.

The Signet Society, true to tradition, is a place at Harvard where lively conversation among students and faculty over the lunch table is the rule, not the exception. Special events such as readings, talks, screenings, shows, and receptions reflect the interests of undergraduates, graduate, and associate members alike: literature, the performing arts, the fine arts, the social sciences, politics, and culture. Renowned artists, writers, actors, and scholars visiting Cambridge often join Signet members for discussions or to give more formal presentations.

The Signet has been nourished by great teachers, scholars, philosophers, and artists who have held a central place in American cultural life. Two have been presidents of the United States. Past and present members include William James, Robert Frost, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Frank P. Davidson, T.S. Eliot, Conrad Aiken, Leonard Bernstein, Norman Mailer, John Updike, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., George Plimpton, William Alfred, Kathleen Lusk Brooke, John Lithgow, Andrew Weil, Tommy Lee Jones, and Yo-Yo Ma, among many others.
