Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Americanism in War and in Peace, Vol. 5: Being the First Lecture on the Carroll Davidson Wright Memorial Lectureship, Delivered at Clark College, May 1, 1917
It is true that during the first years of the College Colonel Wright's work as United States Commissioner of Labor kept him for long periods away from Worcester, and that like an experienced executive be delegated details of organization and administration to others; but it was his general plans that were put into execution and his ideals that determined the main lines of the new college. For this pioneer work he had not only a peculiar fitness but also a particular liking. The opportunity to make a new college upon a new model appealed to him; for the routine manage ment of a going institution he cared little.
