FOREWORD 
In June 1917 the twenty-fifth anniversary of Dean H. L. 
Russell’s doctorate was celebrated by a complimentary break- 
fast. As a part of the exercises, it was announced that a 
quarter century volume by certain of his students would be 
published in his honor. Most of the manuscripts were re- 
ceived June 1, 1918, but war-time conditions have delayed the 
completion of this task until now. It is hoped, however, that 
the unavoidable delay will not lessen the pleasure which the 
volume will bring to either the teacher or his students.
