As its title suggests, this book contains a true legacy in the tradition of one of its greatest occupational therapy pioneers, Eleanor Clarke Slagle (1876-1942). The American Occupational Therapy Association recognized this pioneer's influence by establishing its highest award in her honor in 1953. 
This compilation presents the 47 Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lectures, and while each stands firm as its own solid example of scholarship, when read sequentially they form a unique record of the steady progress and increasing sophistication of occupational therapy. The lectures contain history, leadership, mentoring, encouragement, admonishment, philosophy, and practical guidance. Above all, they reflect Slagle's vision of the integration of theory, philosophy, and spirit from which practitioners, educators, and students can draw inspiration. 
This reference is organized according to decades, and each section is preceded by discussions of what was happening in the world and the United States at that time. After this historical accounting, the lectures for the decade are reprinted. Each section closes with a series of suggested learning activities and classroom discussion questions. Although a broader historical and social context is not always evident within individual lectures, it becomes apparent when the whole body of work of each honored lecturer is considered. In addition, appendixes include biographies and bibliographies for each lecturer, as well as bibliographies of world and U.S. history and also occupational therapy's history, and a list of the presidents of AOTA. The discussion begins with the original Adolph Meyer address honoring Slagle and is completed by linking key messages of the lectures to AOTA's Centennial Vision.

The Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lecture is awarded each year to a leader in occupational therapy who has made a significant and long-standing contribution to the profession. Together, these lectures document the evolution of the profession, tracking important history, values, beliefs, wisdoms, and commitments that remain part of the "occupational therapy consciousness" today. This compilation offers readers an opportunity to discuss, reflect, and affirm their own commitments to the occupational therapy profession by hearing the voices of leaders, mentors, and role models. The lectures are published as they originally were given. Brief introductions to each section place these lectures in historical context both within and outside the profession. Discussion questions and suggested learning activities further enhance readers' learning. An appendix offers updated biographical sketches of each lecturer.
