Our purpose:
To further the philosophy of Horatio Alger, Jr. and to encourage
the spirit of Strive and Succeed that for half of a century guided Alger's undaunted
heroes - lads whose struggles epitomized the great American dream and inspired hero
ideals in countless millions of young Americans.
The Horatio Alger Society (H.A.S.) was founded in 1961 by Forrest Campbell and
Kenneth B. Butler. The H.A.S. was incorporated at Mendota, Illinois in 1965 as a
non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization.
