due, alike for his lucid instruction and his inspiration to me when a graduate student, and for his friendly interest and illuminating suggestions in more recent years. Among my colleagues of the University of Texas I should mention John C. Townes, Professor of Law, David F. Houston, Professor of Political Science, and F. W. Simonds, Professor of Geology, as having aided in keeping me straight. Judge Townes s task was a difficult one, and his efforts are worthy of all praise. Nor may I forget the students of the University of Texas who listened to my lectures on Ethics, and gave, consciously and unconsciously, many helpful criticisms. The lecture notes of Miss Mary Heard, Tutor in English, Miss A. P. F. Hubbard, Fellow in Spanish, and Mr. Thomas Fletcher, Student Assistant in Psychology, were kindly put at my disposal, and have aided me not a little.
