Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collegiate Education in Colorado You are, therefore, convened at ray request, to consider these opportunities and to act upon them according to your convictions and the popular interest to have such a College, as a means of good to our present population, and an incentive to the best immigration from older parts of the country, and even from abroad. We have to act also in view of the intrinsic and historic importance of education as well as the present and prospective demands of our denomination - of Colorado - of the country and the world. It may not be out of place then to spend a short time in considering together the importance of collegiate and professional Schools And Universities, such as the growing wants of this age and country require; and then to notice tie special demands upon us here now. The ideas of common and collegiate education, are not new. There are traces of them in remote antiquity and they are on trial still in many nations. The ancient Phoenicians, Assyrians, Egyptians and Jews were reading peoples. The Hebrew commonwealth had its great leader learned in all the knowledge of the Egyptians, and their subsequent captive prophets educated in the royal college of the Chaldeans. During the disrupture of the nation they had their noted "Schools of the Prophets"; and when their predicted Messias came, he called around him "disciples," those who were eager to learn, and led them through a three or four years course of preparation for public life. After his death and resurrection, he also called a man educated in the famous school of Gamaliel to go forth to nations of different languages to teach them the morals and immortality brought to light in his gospel. The end sought by such education was the acquisition of useful discipline, skill and knowledge, which the inspired sages expressed in the one word, Wisdom. This they regarded as having vast influence over moral and civil affairs, and so was highly esteemed. The oldest known writer on the subject said, "The Price of Wisdom is above Rubies;" And he showed in words of unsurpassed elegance and force its relations to nature and its origin in God, whom men should seek out and obey. After having treated of almost every department of science and philosophy, and in the midst of affliction and sorrow, even soared away among the stars to tell of "the sweet influence of the Pleiades" and "The bands of Orion," he says, "Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold, where they find it.
