The Days of a Man 



University, and the Rev. Henry Osborn Taylor of 

 New York, student of medieval religion. 

 The con- Personally I have felt that talks to young people 

 lih * on tne con duct of life formed an important part of 

 my own duties. During the many years of my 

 presidency I made to the graduating class a special 

 address containing some lessons, moral, social, or 

 political. Several of these talks I published in 1892, 

 as already indicated, under the title, "The Care and 

 Culture of Men." This book being favorably 

 received, it met with a large sale. In 1905 other 

 similar addresses were gathered together in a volume 

 called "The Voice of the Scholar." But the entire 

 unsold part of the edition, together with the plates, 

 was burned in the earthquake-fire of 1906. 

 Beacon Still other discourses of this kind, some on com- 



Bookiets mencement days, but more of them on various 

 occasions, were published as separate booklets by the 

 Beacon Press in Boston. Most of these I gave first 

 as extempore talks at different places in the East, 

 writing them out on the train while on my way back. 

 Their titles follow: 



The Call of the Twentieth The Call of the Nation 



Century Ulrich von Hutten 



The Religion of a Sensible The Human Harvest 



American College and the Man 



Life's Enthusiasms The Heredity of Richard Roe 



The Blood of the Nation The Story of a Good Woman 



The Higher Sacrifice Unseen Empire 



The Philosophy of Hope America's Conquest of Europe 



The Strength of Being Clean War and the Breed 

 The Innumerable Company
