Excerpt from Principal James Denney, D.D: A Memoir and a Tribute As an Arts Student under James Denney's tuition in Glasgow University, where he first met the future Principal, the writer of this memoir came to cherish a high regard - Which, in later years, developed into great reverence for the man. His humility and true piety were remarkable, notwithstanding his im mense learning and towering intellectual superiority. Tributes have already been paid to his worth and work, and doubtless others will be forthcoming. In undertaking the writing of this volume, the author wished to have the satisfaction of casting a wreath of his own upon the mausoleum, already reverently hallowed with memorials of affection. The attempt has not been made to write an exhaustive, elaborate or critical biography, but, within limits, to give a picture, as true to life as possible, of a many-sided personality -a man of great talent, power and versatility, who impressed his generation, as few have done.
