A Review

A few months ago the Western
Press, Historical Society of Montana
published its first book, volume of
Historical Essays On Montana and
the Northwest" in honor of Paul G.
Phillips. DR.. Phillips, Montana his
torian and scholar, and professor of
history at Montana State University
for over 80 years, died on December
23, 1856. This book of historical es-
says is offered as a memorial by his
former students and associates. The
editors are J. W. Smurr, a member
of the history department of Montana
State University, and K. Ross Toole,
director of the Historical Society of
Montana. ''''~4
The custom Of offering a collective
volume as tribute to the distinguished
scholar and teacher is an old tradi-
ton. But this occasion marks the first
time that such recognition has been
accorded a Montana teacher. The edi-
tors are surely to be commended for
the devotion which conceived the
idea, and both they and the contribu-
tors deserve great credit for execut-
ing this distinguished volume. Let us
hope that this fine example will point
the way for other generous tributes
to the intellectual leaders of our state.
Montana does not lack such leaders,
but they have been stingily rewarded.
Sincere and generous recognition as
exemplified by this book of essays
would probably add more prestige
to teaching and scholarship than
would financial rewards.
The introduction is written by SEN
ator Mike Mansfield, himself former
student and later colleague of DR..
Phillips on the faculty of Montana
State University. In his words: "It
