Excerpt from The Gift of Influence
One of the sermons in this volume was preached at Mansfield College, Oxford, and two at Scottish universities; the rest were preached during the last two years at many of the American universities and colleges. My own seminary sets me free for some months each year of express purpose to visit the universities, and I appreciate the great privilege so freely offered me of entering somewhat into the college life of America. The open-mindedness which is so attractive a feature of American life is also characteristic of the universities, and whatever be the special religious colour of each, I have had the same cordial invitation and generous welcome from all. These sermons were delivered as university preacher at some of the older universities, such as Yale and Harvard and Princeton, and at some of the smaller colleges, like Williams and Amherst, and also at some of the newer universities, and even at some of the State universities, which, though they do not have the office of university preacher, make other provision.
