EDUCATION of the FUTURE AND OTHER ADDRESSES AND PAPERS BY WILLIAM BAXTER OWEN, PH.D., LITT.D. PREFACE The addresses and papers that make up this volume have, with two or three exceptions appeared in print in various periodicals and publications, and are now brought together in this more permanent form partly in recognition of the occasions on which they were delivered, and partly because of the steady and even increasing public interest in the topics discussed. The addresses are educational, memorial, literary, postprandial, chapel talks,―glimpses of college life on its better side; in fact the atmosphere throughout is that of the college, and in particular of the vigorous small college, to which we must still look for the most decisive and hopeful influences in education.
