Excerpt from The Oxford Stamp and Other Essays: Articles From the Educational, Creed of an American Oxonian

The essays collected in this volume are all fruits of a Rhodes Scholarship. The holder of one of these appointments, who on his return from Oxford engages in university teaching in this country, inevitably makes comparisons, and looks at many of our educational problems from a new point of view. Much in the work and atmosphere of an English university is strikingly different from the adaptations of German university methods which have prevailed in our higher education for half a century. In the hope that this point of view may interest students of our educational problems, these essays are put together.

That the volume deals more with the study of English than with any other subject is due primarily to the fact that the writer is a teacher of English.
