To

JAMES ALBERT WINANS

upon his completion of a quarter of a century of teaching, during which period, by his work in college classrooms, by his writings, and by his personal qualities, he has exercised a beneficent leadership in the field of academic instruction in public speaking, this book is offered by his pupils and colleagues.

The papers in this volume of Studies in Rhetoric and Public Speaking have been contributed by several of Professor Winans' pupils, colleagues, and friends, who prize their association with him in the work of the Department of Public Speaking in Cornell University. Those who have been familiar with academic instruction in public speaking in the United States during the last twenty-five years know how great the influence of Professor Winans' teaching, writing, and counsel has been. All contributors to this book have been moved by gratitude for that influence, and every one of them has the stronger motive of personal friendship in desiring thus to express his regard.

The publication of the volume was made possible by the contribu-
tions of a larger group of pupils, former colleagues, and friends who
wished to share in this tribute to Professor Winans, and to join
in a congratulatory recognition of his work as teacher for more than
twenty years at Cornell University, and in recent years at Dartmouth
College.

These resources were augmented by the coöperation of Professor
Winans' publishers, the Century Company, whose secretary, Mr.
Dana H. Ferrin, has given the publication his sympathetic and help
ful attention.

The planning and general editing of the volume has been in
charge of A. M. Drummond. Several of the contributors aided in
preparing manuscript for the press, but the editor is especially in-
debted to Herbert A. Wichelns and Lee S. Hultzén for their generous
assistance with the proofs.
