Review:
"At Oberlin, George Mead and Henry Castle's friendship grew from their shared love of learning and insatiable curiosity. As undergraduates, they read, studied, discussed, wrote, and developed a driving scholarly ambition. They learned to cherish the life of the mind, to think and reason independently, to teach themselves and others, and to accept responsibility for improving society Through their thinking, teaching, and writing they passed those values on to generations of young people." -- Marvin Krislov, President, Oberlin College, From the Foreword
"Alfred L. Castle deserves great credit for making possible the republication of these letters and for writing an elegant introduction in which he clearly outlines their historical significance."
-- Gary A. Cook, author of George Herbert Mead: The Making of a Social Pragmatist
