Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Concerning the Recent History: And the Constitutional Rights and Privileges of Harvard College; Presented by the President and Fellows to the Legislature; January 17, 1851 The President and Fellows of Harvard College, having been notified to appear before the Legislature on the second Wednesday in January, 1851, if they shall see fit, to show cause why a bill, proposing a new organization of the College, reported at the last session of the Legislature, should not be passed, would respectfully submit to the government of the Commonwealth a brief statement of such considerations as seem to them most important in relation to this subject. In a document of this nature, which should assume the form of a memorial, it is impossible to enter into a full examination of all the grounds upon which the claims of Harvard College to the favor and fostering care of the Legislature are to be maintained. Little more can be done, than to suggest to those, who take an interest in the cause of thorough and sound education, some of the facts and reasons which prove the great and constantly increasing advantages that have been derived from the organization and management of the College; to show how promptly it has met the rising demand of the community for higher and higher attainments of the pupils, and for improvements in the methods of instruction, and how earnestly and successfully it has sought for larger means of usefulness, which are at this moment, in their immediate results, giving the richest promise of future progress; and, finally, to indicate very concisely the legal argument demonstrating that the organization of the College, fortunate as it has proved itself to have been, cannot be safely, lawfully, or constitutionally overthrown, or essentially changed.
