The collection consists largely of college addresses delivered at opening or commencement exercises, including, as the title essay of the book, the author’s inaugural address as president of Lafayette college. One of the leading ideas in this collection is the superiority of individualism to conformity, communism or state control. Even the desirability of cooperation is set forth with certain reservations. The war with its problems furnishes some of the topics. Among the titles are: The college and the individual; Liberty and cooperation; War and education; The college and the shadow of war; Federal leadership in education; Why the trust idea is not applicable to education; The college man and freedom; The education of women; Broader education of engineers; Scientific method and therapeutic impulse; Religion and education.
