TO
    The Faculty of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.,
    --AND TO
    THE PRESIDENT IN PARTICULAR,
    TO WHOSE CAREFUL
    MENTAL AND MORAL TRAINING OF MYSELF IS DUE ALL
    MY SUCCESS AT THE MILITARY ACADEMY
    AT WEST POINT, N. Y.,
    I AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATE THIS VOLUME,
    AS IN SOME SORT
    A TOKEN OF THAT HEARTFELT GRATITUDE WHICH
    I SO DEEPLY FEEL, BUT CAN SO
    POORLY EXPRESS.
