Final page of one of Cochran’s handwritten homework assignments circa 1953, one page, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, signed at the top, “H. W. #3, Eddie Cochran.” Answers to the last five questions of an assignment about dictionaries. In part: “‘Lexicography’ means the art of dictionary making…Making dictionaries is a difficult job because the English language is constantly changing and becoming more technical…A word is considered standard when it is in general use by English and American writers and must be widely used and understood in the U. S. and even in other English-speaking countries.” His teacher offers some criticism at the conclusion in red pencil, writing: “(This last sentence Eddie is too long).” In fine condition. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
