Excerpt from College Life: Its Theory and Practice
The Baccalaureate Discourses in this volume were addressed by Dr. Olin to the young men under his charge during the last years, the Lectures during the last months, of his life. The writing of the Lectures was his closing literary labor, their delivery his final public utterance. A precious legacy to students, in whose welfare he was most deeply interested, their earnest words have in many instances given permanent impressions to character, decided direction to conduct. They embody his mature and comprehensive views in relation to mental and moral culture, developed in the experience of nearly a quarter of a century spent in college halls; and their suggestions and counsels deserve the careful consideration of the undergraduates of the colleges of our land.
As there has been a special demand for the volume of Dr. Olin's Works containing these lessons to young men - lessons from their point and power entitled to take a permanent place in college literature - it has been thought desirable to issue them in a form adapted to the library of a student.
