Kenneth Rand (1891–1918) was an American poet. An English literature graduate of Yale University, he served as chairman of the board of the Yale Literary Magazine, served as literary editor of the ''Yale Courant'', contributed to campus humor magazine ''The Yale Record'' and was the class poet.〔 He was one of the poets to whom ''The Yale Book of Student Verse, 1910–1919'' was dedicated.〔(Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War against Germany, Vol. II ), p. 24 (Harvard University Press, 1921).〕 == Life and career == Rand was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 8, 1891,〔Claude Moore Fuess, (''Phillips Academy, Andover, in the Great War'' ), pp. 130-31 (Yale University Press, 1919).〕 the son of Alonzo Turner Rand (1854–1925), president of the Minneapolis Gas Company, and Louise Casey Rand (1861–1891).〔George Henry Nettleton, ''Yale in the World War, Part One'', pp.160-61 (Yale University Press, 1925).〕〔''History of the class of Nineteen-hundred and fourteen, Yale college,'' p. 282 (Yale University Press, 1914).〕 Much of his early life was spent in travel, especially in Europe. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, for three years, where he was a member of the Mandolin Club and wrote for a student publication, ''The Mirror''. He was not overly popular there, but was thought to be unusually introspective.〔 After graduating from Phillips Academy in 1910 he attended Yale University, where he majored in English literature.〔 Author George Henry Nettleton〔(George Henry Nettleton ), who wrote "The Major Dramas of Richard Birnsley Sheridan", "Old Testament Narratives", and "Yale in the World War".〕 (1874–1959) called Rand's class poem, written as a senior, an unconscious prophecy.〔 :''The years have dropped behind us,'' :''The years run out before,'' :''The testing world shall find us'' :''Full weight—we trust—and more.'' After graduating from Yale in 1914, Rand gave his attention chiefly to writing. He published three volumes of poetry (listed below), and his poems were published in literary and fiction journals of the time, including ''(The Bellman ), The Argosy, Lippincott’s, Snappy Stories, Sport Story Magazine, Picture-Play Weekly, Top-Notch,'' and ''The Smart Set.''〔(''Poets' Corner – Bookshelf,'' ) List of "Distinctive Poems," their authors, and the magazines in which they appeared.〕〔(The FictionMags Index )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Rand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
