PROF. JAMES WINANS GIVEN BOOK AT DINNER

The National Association of Teachers of Speech recently held a dinner at the Hotel McAlpin for the express purpose of presenting a book entitled "Studies in Rhetoric and Public Speaking in Honor of James Albert Winans" to Professor Winans of the Department of Public Speaking in Dartmouth.

The Century Company of New York is the publisher of this book, which was contributed to by 14 professors in public speaking, among whom are Professor W. E. Utterback of Dartmouth and Professors H. A. Wickhelms and W. M. Parrish of Cornell, where Mr. Winans taught for many years. Only 400 copies were printed in the first edition.

The book consists of a series of studies in rhetoric and public speaking. The dedication reads, "To James Albert Winans upon his completion of a quarter of a century of teaching, during which period, by his work in college classrooms, by his writing, and by his personal qualifications he has exercised a beneficient leadership in the field of academic instruction in Public Speaking, this book is offered by his pupils and colleagues."
