As president of the Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington made it his habit to deliver an address to his students every Sunday night. Washington was not only concerned with a giving his students a technical education, but with teaching them how to be successful in both the moral and commercial realm. These collected lectures are all on topics of character building and living a moral life and include subjects such as " The Virtue of Simplicity", "Keeping Your Word", "Object Lessons" and "Individual Opportunities".
