Preface

1 HE publication last year of my volume of "Reminiscences" called forth requests to me for the publication of a volume containing some of the numerous Addresses which I had given during my Presidency of the University of Michigan. In compliance with these requests I have selected the Addresses here published.

I have chosen first those which discuss the problems involved in the conduct of State Universities, and especially of the University of Michigan, including a Memorial Discourse on Dr. Frieze, whose services to this University were of such marked value.

I have chosen, secondly, a few Addresses which I hope may be of special interest to the students who sat under my instruction in the History of Diplomacy and in International Law.

University of Michigan, March 18, 1912.
