Contents: The Epicurean Pursuit of Pleasure Stoic Self-Control by Law The Platonic Subordination of Lower to Higher The Aristotelian Sense of Proportion The Christian Spirit of Love William De Witt Hyde, the seventh president of Bowdoin College (1885-1917), was born in Winchendon, Massachusetts, on September 23, 1858. After earning his bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1879, he continued his theological studies at Union Theological Seminary (1879-1880) and Andover Theological Seminary (1882). Hyde served as a minister in Patterson, New Jersey (1883-1885), prior to accepting his post as president of Bowdoin and professor of mental and moral philosophy. Hyde transformed Bowdoin from a failing country college into an example of a style of higher education. He enlarged the faculty, revolutionized the curriculum, eased entrance requirements, and gave new status to the sciences and the languages. Hyde was a prolific author, which gave Bowdoin nationwide exposure and cemented Hyde's reputation as a theorist of higher education. Hyde was also a trustee of Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire (1898-1917), and he received honorary degrees from Bowdoin (1886, 1917), Harvard (1886), Syracuse (1897), and Dartmouth (1909).

Autorenporträt
William De Witt Hyde (1858 – 1917) was an esteemed American philosopher and educator, remembered for his considerable contributions to ethical philosophy and liberal religious thought. Serving as the president of Bowdoin College from 1885 until his death in 1917, Hyde's intellectual legacy is captured through his written works that articulate a vision of personal and social morality. Among his most notable books is 'The Five Great Philosophies of Life' (1911), wherein Hyde elucidates on the quintessential philosophical frameworks that have shaped human understanding of ethics: the Epicurean, the Stoic, the Platonic, the Aristotelian, and the Christian. Emphasizing pragmatic relevance, Hyde's articulation of these philosophies reflects his dedication to the practical application of ethical principles in daily life. Known for his clear, cogent prose and insightful analysis, Hyde was a prominent figure within the late 19th and early 20th-century philosophical circles. His contributions extended beyond the academic realm as he sought to engage with contemporary social issues through a moral lens, thereby leaving a lasting imprint on American liberal thought and educational philosophy.
