The author of this biography of Dr. Francis Julius LeMoyne, "Fearless Advocate of the Right," did not realize when she set out to write a "readable little pamphlet" of his life that she was going to spend years collecting and writing material, and then watch it grow into a book. It was while she was teaching as LeMoyne College that her interest naturally led her to ask, "Who was the founder, the man whose name the college bears?" She was very much surprised to find no one was able to answer no more than a word or two. Dr. LeMoyne has left behind him the heritage of a large family of good American citizens, a fine old home a community enriched by his long years of constructive work in its behalf, and a life-long labor in the cause of freedom - freedom of speech, of press, of religion, of the individual conscience, or every man and woman regardless of race, sex, or creed to full participation in all America has to offer alike of opportunity and of the moral responsibility which to his mind went always and inevitably hand-in-hand with freedom. In that long active career that spanned eight decades of our national growth, the Doctor brings to a focus in his person many of the trends and forces shaping our nation's history, and so the record of his life may serve to illuminate or enrich some phases of that history, both local and national, even to the advanced history student. For that reason, the work conforms as far as possible to correct, scholarly usage in bibliography and notes, and scrupulously refrains from introducing into the material and fiction or imaginative element. If this volume serves the purpose of making live again the fine, strong man whose story it is a delight to tell, it will have done all that thee writer ventures to hope for.
