This volume collects three addresses delivered by Charles Francis Adams to Phi Beta Kappa societies. The first, A College Fetich, delivered in 1883, critiques aspects of traditional college education. The second, Shall Cromwell Have a Statue? (1902), delves into the controversial figure of Oliver Cromwell. Finally, Some Modern College Tendencies (1906) examines the evolving landscape of higher education at the turn of the century. These addresses offer insights into historical perspectives on education, historical figures, and social commentary relevant to the early 20th century. Adams's work provides a valuable glimpse into the intellectual climate of his time.
