Excerpt from Introduction to Human Problems

The temerity of one who writes a book touching many provinces outside his own field of specialization is perhaps most fully recognized by a man who has completed, however inadequately, such a task. A decent respect for the opin ions of his colleagues requires him to give his reasons for at tempting a work of this character. To those who consider a fugitive glance across the boundary line between academic departments to be at least a misdemeanor, and look upon any actual stepping over the border as the equivalent of grand larceny, he makes no apology, for none would suffice to protect him from their scorn. To those others who are kind enough to admit a plea of extenuating circumstances in such a case, he offers the defense of harsh necessity. He was required to organize and teach an orientation course for college freshmen, and found no textbook available for the type of work which seemed to him most desirable and prac ticable. The present book was written to supply this need.
