Excerpt from Personal Power: Counsels to College MenThe Sunday vesper service in Rollins Chapel at Dartmouth gave me while president of the college the unusual opportunity of attempting to supply to some degree what I have called the moral supports of instruction. The appeal to the consciousness of personal power was seldom taken directly, but it was always implied. The service allowed a very wide range of subject, and an en tirely informal habit of speech. But the principle there made use of so far approved itself to my judgment that I did not hesitate to transfer it to more formal occasional addresses or sermons, some of which have been gathered up into the present volume. The local allusions, which were made chie¿y in the addresses, have been allowed to remain, as they were such as to furnish the setting natural to any college. The volume itself may be simply an afterword to graduates of the last decade here or elsewhere, it may also be a new word to some among the undergraduates of to-day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
