Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The fall of Rome and how military selection aided the decline;
traces national development as influenced by the pursuits of peace
and occupations of war. David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) was a noted
educator, scientist and peace activist. Educated at Cornell
University, Butler University, and the Indiana University School of
Medicine he became the President of Indiana University in 1885, the
youngest university president in the nation at the time. Six years
later, he accepted the post of President of Stanford University in
Palo Alto, California, where he remained, first as president and
later as chancellor, until his retirement. Dr. Jordan was a
renowned expert in many fields. His training was mainly in
ichthyology, the study of fish, and he was widely regarded in that
field. He served as an expert witness on the validity of the theory
of evolution at the Scopes trial in Tennessee. In addition, he was
known for his work in education and philosophy, publishing many
works on those subjects.
