Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Macalester College: Its Origin, Struggle, and Growth The appearance of a History of Macalester College may be a surprise to many. It is known as one of the youngest of the institutions of higher learning in Minnesota, and, therefore, a school which scarcely has had the time to make history. But the fact that Macalester is the out-growth of the earliest educational movements of St. Paul, and indeed of Minnesota; that it has taken almost sixty years to realize its establishment; and that it has passed through a long struggle in which faith and hope and self-sacrifice have won a splendid victory; these considerations have seemed to me to justify the writing of this little book. My aim has been to present an accurate narrative of the origin, struggle and growth of the college. I have kept in mind Ranke´s rule that the historian must show how events came to pass, "wie es eigentlich gewesen ist," and not be a mere chronicler of events. I am aware, however, that the realization of such objective history is conditioned by the "mental peculiarities" of the writer, and that every narrative is really a description of events as "seen through the mind" of the historian. I offer this book to the public realizing its imperfections, yet conscious that I have made an earnest endeavor to write an unbiased account.
