PREFACE THE papers in this volume have been contributed by several of Professor Schelling's students in commemoration of his thirtieth anniversary as John Welsh Centennial Professor of History and English Literature in the University of Pennsylvania. The bibliography of Professor Schelling's published writings was compiled by the editor. The publication of the volume was made possible by contributions from three sources: The College Alumni Society, the Class of '81, and the Department of English. Its appearance in its present form is due, however, in no small measure to the generous coöperation of its publishers. The editor wishes also to express his appreciation of the unfailing courtesy of Mr. Dana H. Ferrin of the Educational Department of the Century Company. His sympathy and understanding have removed many of the difficulties ordinarily incident to publication. It is a sad duty to have to record the premature death of one of the contributors, Thomas Denis O'Bolger, of the English Department of the University, while the volume was printing. |
