CHAPTER TWO BY delving further into his chosen field for the purpose of writing books and mag- azine articles or contributing important research findings to the world, the Inter- preter at The American University has added considerably to the store of excellent things which he can show to the students. v Chancellor Gray stands out among the authors on the faculty, having published five books — The Old Faith in the New Day, An Adventure in Orthodoxy, The Con- temporary Christ, Sufficient Ministers, which is a collection of the Simpson Lectures at DePauw University, and Concerning the Faith. He has also written a number of articles for periodicals. Dean Woods ' next book will be a two- volume history of English Literature, which will contain selections to emphasize the development of racial thinking, philosophy, and idealism. His Guide to Good English, published last summer, is a revised and shortened form of his College Handbook of Writing, which is still in print. He has also published English Poetry and Prose of the Romantic Movement, Victorian Poetry, Problems in English, A Manual of English, and Drills in English. Dr. Tansill has been working on several books in the field of history and diplomacy when he can find time from his duties as acting dean of the Graduate School. One of the works in progress will deal with the diplomatic relations between the United States and Canada. He has published four books, Pennsylvania and Maryland Boundary Controversy, Canadian Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, Robert Smith, and Some Aspects of American Policy in the Caribbean (i7g8-igi6). ' Mr. Hutchins is the author of a verse drama, Jeanne a Arc de Vaucouleurs, and a play, The Day that Lincoln Died, the latter in collaboration. Dr. Bentley has pub- lished several articles in periodicals during the past year. Dr. Shenton is the co-author of Elementary Mechanics. ' Dr. Kinsman, who has written Income Tax in the Commonwealths of the United States, Local Governments of Wisconsin, Essentials of Civics, and Economics or the Science of Business, has recently published an entirely different type of book, Man in the Making, which is a study of the apparent purpose, plan, and procedure in creation and man ' s place in it. He describes it as an attempt to rationalize religious belief and practice. ' Dr. Gewehr has written The Great Awakening in Virginia, 1740-1790, and The Rise of Nationalism in the Balkans, and has published, in collaboration with F. Schevill of the University of Chicago, A History of the Balkan Peninsula, Revised Edition — 1932. [ 3]
