Small piece at bottom of 209/210 missing--no loss of text. The author was President of Brown University. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads Best wishes to Mrs. William J. Gould who has helped so many in facing live W. H. P. Faunce Oct 31, 1928. These addresses were made to the students of Brown University at morning chapel service. They were too brief to allow logical development...and they do not pretend to have any clear connection one with another. Yet, roughly speaking, the first four groups do have some correspondence with the four college years, while the last group is addressed to those who are leaving the college campus and finding their place in the larger world beyond it. The sections are The New Environment, The Widening Horizon, The Deepening Faith, Persistent Problems, and Beyond College Gates. Some of the addresses are titled: Tyranny of Democracy, Two Kinds of Hypocrisy, Lessons Not Found in Books, The Social Message of Religion, Optimist or Pessimist? , The Meaning of Temperance, The Power of Focus, Continuous Education, What is America? , and The Meaning of Change. William Herbert Perry Faunce (January 15, 1859-January 31, 1930) was an American clergyman and educator. William Faunce was born at Worcester, Massachusetts. He graduated in 1880 at Brown University (where he then taught mathematics for a year), and at 1884 at Newton Theological Seminary, and from 1884 to 1889 was pastor of the State Street Baptist Church of Springfield, Massachusetts. From 1889 to 1899 he was pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church of New York City, New York, in 1896-97 he lectured in the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, and in 1898-99 he was a member of the board of resident preachers of Harvard University. In 1899 he became president of Brown University; during his administration the endowment of the university was largely increased. He was Lyman Beecher lecturer at Yale University in 1907-08 and was prominent in the work of the Religious Education Association. His writings include numerous contributions, chiefly to religious periodicals, and the volumes The Educational Ideal in the Ministry (1909) and What Does Christianity Mean? (1912).
