Boards lightly shelfworn, with fairly heavy darkening down spine and a few spots of fading and smudging to cloth. Front endpapers a bit toned.

Subtitle describes the book as "An Autobiographical Reverie; Occasioned by extensive travel, the mingling with many people of several races in varied walks of life, and a deep interest in lifting the burdens of humanity." Ames worked with the YMCA in varying positions, both in the US and abroad, including acting as YMCA director with American troops in France during WWI, helping establish a YMCA branch in Russia, and serving as dean of George Williams College in Chicago (run by the YMCA), all while making time to travel the world before retiring to a family farm near Brooklyn, Wisconsin. His graduating thesis at YMCA College was titled The Cafeteria, an Aid to Welfare Work. Dedicatee Bernard Rosen similarly worked in education, teaching for 25 years at American University's school of public affairs after a federal career in administrative affairs. He and his wife Adele started a number of scholarships and endowments at American University and elsewhere. [Biographical Books 1876-1949 p. 1403].
