Synopsis
Mr Robinson was born in Bloomington, Illinois. He was a teacher of History at University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. He founded the New School for Social Research. He is an Author of "PETRARCH, THE FIRST MODERN SCHOLAR" "MEDIAEVAL AND MODERN TIMES" "THE NEW HISTORY", etc. But, ‘The Mind in the Making’ is his best written work. About book: This is an essay—not a treatise—on the most important of all matters of human concern. Although it has cost its author a great deal more thought and labor than will be apparent, it falls, in his estimation, far below the demands of its implacably urgent theme. Each page could readily be expanded into a volume. It suggests but the beginning of the beginning now being made to raise men's thinking onto a plain which may perhaps enable them to fend off or reduce some of the dangers which lurk on every hand. J. H. R. NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH, NEW YORK CITY, August, 1921.
