Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of Professor O. H. Tiffany, A. M: Delivered at the Opening of the Pennsylvania Female College, Harrisburg, September 5, 1853 Ladies and Gentlemen: - The great objects proposed in the plan of the Pennsylvania Female College, have been so ably presented by others, that a brief allusion to them on my part, will suffice. Our object is to prepare pupils for the duties of life - not so much to make them learned, as to supply the material and afford the impetus for self-instruction. The true idea of education is the discipline and development of the mind, not the mere preparation of the individual for a particular station or special duties. And the design of the officers of this establishment is to train the understanding of their pupils, so that they may be able to survey the field of knowledge for themselves, to comprehend their own capabilities, and keep them in healthy exercise. Were this an institution for the education of young men, the propriety of this position would be admitted without argument, but the generality of men, though awaking, are not yet wholly alive to the importance of thus educating females. The idea is still too prevalent, that a superficial acquaintance with some branches of knowledge, is all that woman requires, if she add to this the gloss and tinsel of so-called accomplishments.
