Excerpt from Pastoral Homilies: Delivered as Commencement Addresses to the Graduating Classes of the Allegheny Theological Seminary

That my well-loved friend and former colleague has yielded to persuasion by permitting the publica tion of his commencement addresses will gratify all his former students and very many besides. From the time that Dr. Grier became the President of the Seminary Faculty until his retirement in 1909, by reason of physical disability, the main feature of the graduation exercises each year was his parting coun sels to the outgoing class.
