Excerpt from Strength and Beauty: Discussions for Young Men
The following baccalaureate sermons were originally published in pamphlets at the time they were delivered. With one exception they were subsequently modified, their order was changed, and they were published in a volume entitled "Strength and Beauty." The exception was the discourse on "Providence and Revelation," delivered in 1865, containing my estimate of President Lincoln and some remarks on the war. The texts are now restores, the discourses are placed in the order in which they were delivered, and, though the more immediate address to the class is still in some instances abbreviated or modified, they are yet substantially as they were Thus all the published baccalaureates are now given in their order, and to these is added, as being in the same line, and as a tribute to the most distinguished graduate of the College, the discourse on President Garfield.
The subjects of the discourses are of permanent interest, and the favor with which the former book has been received leads me to hope for a permanent interest in this. The change is made in accordance with the expressed wish of some of those heard them, and also because it may be interest in the future history of the College to know what final teachings and counsels were given from 1850 onward to so many classes.
