Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the College of California The history of the College of California is an important chapter in the educational history of the State. As such it deserves a permanent record, which it has not hitherto had. It deserves it all the more, because it belongs to the earliest period of that history, and if unwritten would be forgotten. Inasmuch as I was Secretary of the Board of Trustees from the beginning, and the executive officer of the College for eight years, the duty of writing this history seemed to fall to me. Perhaps I am the only one who could write it with so full a recollection of the facts. Besides,. I have carefully preserved the materials necessary to its composition, such as the record of the transactions of the Board of Trustees, the Treasurers books, the correspondence of the College, its annual catalogues and occasional circulars, the reports of the Faculty of Instruction, also copies of printed addresses, orations, poems. Alumni proceedings, reports, etc. These materials I have freely used, guided by my own recollection of events as they took place. It has been my purpose, not only to give a correct view of the progress of the institution in a general way, but also a clear idea of its grade of scholarship, and of its principles and aims, both educational and religious. At the same time I have made it to represent quite fully the literature which grew up within the College and around it, giving in full most of its publications.
