The Biology, Physiology and Sociology of Reproduction: Also Sexual Hygiene with Special Reference to the Male
Hall, Winfield Scott
Reproduction; Sexual ethics -- Early 20th century
It is with great pleasure that I pay a tribute of appreciation
to the excellent service of Dr. Winfield S. Hall, in his
presentation to audiences of young men of the vital problems of
sexual hygiene.
With the intelligence of a trained and experienced physician,
with the thoroughness and frankness of an expert teacher and
with the delicacy and motive of a Christian gentleman, he
presents the "Young Man's Problem" in such a way as to make him,
in my judgment, one of the most helpful counselors of young men
on the American platform today.
Sincerely,
W.M. WOOD.

My Dear Dr. Hall:
In your lecture on "The Young Man's Problem" and in your book on
"Sexual Hygiene" you are doing a great service for the rising
generation. I am convinced that one great source of vice is
ignorance about the matters touched upon in your lecture and
book. Priests are constantly giving instruction on these same
points, but it is a distinct advantage to have their teaching
reinforced by a distinguished physician, expressing himself with
the plainness of the laity and speaking always in a most
reverential spirit. For students seventeen years of age or more
your presentation of this difficult subject will be a God-send,
for it abates curiosity, dissipates ignorance, warns of perils
and arouses a manly desire for a clean life.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN CAVANAUGH, C.S.C.,
President.

My Dear Dr. Hall:
Our committee wants to know if we cannot arrange a date with you
this year to deliver your lecture on "The Young Man's Problem."
I also want some more of your books on Reproduction and Sexual
Hygiene.
I cannot forbear to express my very hearty appreciation of the
splendid service you have done and are doing to the young
manhood of our country in this lecture and this book. I have
never heard a presentation of the subject which takes hold so
deeply upon thoughtful men, and your book is by all odds the
best thing in print on this subject. Your scientific, yet
popular method and the absence of vague moralizing are
convincing and inspiring in their effects. I trust we may hear
you this year.
Very truly yours,
HERBERT W. GATES,
Secy., Religious Work.
