I need not say that the unexpected and generous provision made for me is very welcome, and relieves me from all pecuniary cares for the rest of my life.

They are intended for general students as well as for specialists, but of course...
...more than this. Professor Hanus believes that no man, in search of a liberal education, can wholly overlook the subject of teaching. College men become leaders in their communities everywhere, and must, in large part, solve their problems. Among the problems of communities few are today receiving so much thought as that of public education. Some acquaintance with such problems and their most promising solutions is therefore a needed part of a well-rounded college course...
