LETTERS ON THE LECTURES, FROM THE PRINCE-

TON SEMINARY FACULTY.

PRINCETON, February 15, 1895.
My Dear MR. CRAFTS :

The Faculty of the Seminary have wished me to express to you their
appreciation of the lectures on Social Problems which you delivered to
the students last week, and their thanks to you for the course. We
recognize the wide study which you have given to these subjects, and the
large number of valuable facts which you have collected. We recognize
also in your treatment of the facts the caution and the desire to be fair
and thorough which are necessary for a proper discussion of such practical
and important topics. You seem to us bent on apprehending the whole
truth and in doing justice to all sides of each case. We are especially
gratified by your presentation of the idea that religion as well as economic
science has a part to do in the solution of social problems, and we believe
that our students will be better prepared by your lectures to exert the
proper influence in social and civil relations which is possible to ministers
of the Gospel. We congratulate you heartily on the ability you showed
in the preparation of your lectures, and feel' sure that you have done a
nost useful work in delivering them before the Seminary. Please accept
our thanks.
Very sincerely yours,

GEORGE T. PURVES.

me.

PRINCETON, February 18, 1895.
Rev. MR. CRAFTS :

Dear Sir: I wish to say to you how highly I, in common with my
colleagues and your auditors generally, appreciated the brief course of
lectures which you have delivered at the Seminary on sociology. The
practical acquaintance which you manifested with the numerous and
complicated questions arising under this theme surprised and delighted

The wise reserve shown in avoiding hasty and inconsiderate judg-
ments upon matters that require further investigation, and the impartial
attitude taken in regard to matters which have led to serious strife and
agitation, cannot be too highly commended. And the high-toned Chris-
tian principle which marked the entire discussion, without running off
into extravagance and excess, inspired confidence in the solution which
must thus be ultimately reached. There is but one feeling among us,
that of high gratification that we have been permitted to hear these
instructive and valuable lectures, and we are greatly obliged to you for
consenting to deliver them to our students.

Very truly yours,

W. HENRY GREEN.
