Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Duty of Columbia College to the Community, and Its Right to Exclude Unitarians From Its Professorships of Physical Science, Considered by One of Its Trustees The following communication embraces, with some corrections and additions, the material portions of a letter recently addressed by the writer to one of his colleagues in the Board of Trustees of Columbia College. It is due to the gentleman addressed by that letter to state, that in acknowledging its receipt, he declared himself unable to perceive the applicability of a large portion of it to himself, the propriety of addressing it to him, or the object of so addressing it. The object of the letter was solely to invite his co-operation, as a co-Trustee; 1st, In enlarging the scope and invigorating the action of the College; 2d, In remedying the evils suffered by the College from its neglect of Physical Science; 3d, In preventing the exclusion of any candidate from the Professorship of Physical Science, on account of his religious tenets. The writer can see no breach of propriety, in addressing this or any other communication in respectful language to any of his colleagues, on any matter connected with the great public trust they have undertaken to execute. He therefore presents his views in the present form, for more convenient examination by others of his colleagues, and he invites them in return to express any opinions they may entertain, if his own shall seem erroneous. Such an interchange, if it produce no other effect, will serve at least to define and limit the proper responsibility of each.
