Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Adelia A. Field Johnston: Who Served Oberlin College for Thirty-Seven Years in the Positions of Principal of the Women´s Department, Dean of Women, Instructor and Professor of Medieval History, Lecturer on the History of Painting and Architecture, Trustee and Member of the Prudent I am moved by affection to write this biography. But affection, though strong as an impelling motive, is not of itself a sufficient reason for placing a book before the public with the hope and expectation that it may bear a message of value. A biography implies that the life recorded has a certain catholic and universal value, by virtue of which its experiences are worthy to become part of the permanent records of the race. In the past such records were supposed to be the due chiefly of warriors and statesmen, of those prominent in public affairs and who acted upon a national stage. Heretofore, there has been but slight recognition of the existence of individuals possessing rare and subtle personal powers by which they are enabled deeply to affect the life currents of the society in which they live. Because these powers deal with spiritual forces, act by presence and apparently without means they have not been fully observed or generally recognized.
