A GIFT TO THE GIVER Everyone at the meeting was bored, until a gentle-faced little man took the floor. ... No one was paying enough attention to catch his name; but his quiet words suddenly registered like an electri- fying pronouncement. ' It seems to me, ' he said, ' that the important thing is not raising money, but getting people to give; not what the money does for the institution that gets it, but what it does for the people who give it. What I hope is that you can save the privilege of free-will giving. ' That was all, and yet the room suddenly came alive. Instead of the usual perfunctory applause when the man sat down, there were several mo- ments of silence. Perhaps because he is fundamentally a lover of the simple things, and perhaps because we are so close to him, it is difficult to express in just a few words or even in a great many, our feelings toward this humble Psychology professor. The gentleness of his nature, the innate kindliness, and the per- sistent, almost incredible faith in all men make him that rare being, a genuine humanitarian. For these reasons and many more — familiar to those who know him — we dedicate this book to Professor Grover C. Shaw, a gift indeed to the giver. Page Two

FOREWORD Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on on hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle- stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
