Lenten Sermons by Rev. Gardiner M Day of Christ Episcopal Church, Cambridge Massachusetts and an address by the President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Karl T. Compton. v + 99pp. Rev. Gardiner Mumford Day (1900-1981), was rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Cambridge, Mass. from 1941 until 1965, when he retired. The first 75% of the book records a series of Lenten sermons he delivered around the end of WWII. Karl Taylor Compton (1887-1954) was a prominent American physicist and President of MIT from 1930 to 1948. He gave a presentation titled “Why Religion?” before the Tenth Technology Embassy on April 17, 1946. This is reproduced as the final quarter of the book. Erwin Haskell Schell (1889-1965) was an American engineer, organizational theorist, management author and Dean of the MIT Department of Business and Engineering from 1930 through 1951. The department later became the MIT Sloan School of Management. Through the generosity of Newman M. Marsillius (MIT class of 1914), Dr Schell was able to compile and publish these speeches with the intent of making the book available to students in the Department of Business and Engineering. The copy for sale was inscribed by Dr. Schell to a member of the Course XV Men in 1954. For a little more background, MIT in 1914 established a four year course of study (Course XV because it was the 15th degree offered at the school) which could earn a degree in Engineering Administration. By 1930, these courses where mainly in the Department of Business and Engineering under Dean Schell, hence students whose majors were in the department were Course XV men. Dean Schell was an innovative and student focused educator, introducing outside guest lectures allowing business leaders to interact with students and faculty, sponsoring apprenticeship programs, and he even sent individual students in the department cards on their birthday. Hardcover has blue cloth boards over a navy spine, gold title on spine, but no DJ. Although carefully handled with square corners, there is wear and rubs on spine and rear. Aside from gift inscription on ffep, no other marks found in book.
