Excerpt from Democracy and Ideals: A Definition
These chapters, with the exception of the first and the last, were written while I was serving as chairman of the Army Education Commission with the American forces in France in 1918 and 1919, and as educational director of the American Expeditionary Force University at Beaune, 1919. The first chapter, in its present form recently rewritten, was originally prepared as an address before the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, in November, 1917. "American Character'' was delivered as a lecture at Bedford College, London, December 6, 1918, and was published in the Fortnightly Review, May, 1919. "French Ideals and American" was delivered as an address before American troops and other American audiences in France during 1918 and 1919, and was published May 20, 1919, as Bulletin 100 of the American Expeditionary Force University at Beaune. "Society as a University," prepared as an address for the opening of the University at Beaune, was published March 15 as Bulletin 18 of that institution, and was reprinted in the Educational Review for September. "Universal Training for National Service" was written at Beaune in April, and was published in the Review of Reviews for October. "University Leadership" was delivered on September 24 as the opening address for the winter session of Columbia University.
