„ .. ‘ Dr. Janies E. Swain was born in Rockville, Indiana, and received both his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from the University of Indiana, from which he was graduated with the Class of 1921. He broadened his education with extensive travels and research in Europe and with graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received the doctor of philosophy degree in 1926. Dr. Swain has been a member of the Muhlenberg faculty since 1925. He is the author of several books, among them the widely used “History of World Civilization”, used as a text in a number of colleges across the country. Dr. Swain is a leader in Civic affairs in Allen- town. He served for several years as chairman of the Council of Social Agencies, a group that analyzes the needs of the community for welfare and character building agencies and relates them to existing or anticipated organizations. He holds membership in the American Historical Association, the Association of University Professors, the American Museum of Natural History, the Auth- ors Club of London, the American Society of Inter- national Law, and numerous other learned societies. His breadth of vision, his ability to make history live, and his scholarly interpretations of the news of the world against the background of the past have made him a popular and inspirational teacher. To Dr. James E. Swain we dedicate this book, in recognition of his dedication to his chosen pro- fession and to the students of Muhlenberg College. 5
