Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Tecumseh Sherman as College President The Louisiana State Seminary (now the Louisiana State University,) began its first session on January 2, 1860, with William Tecumseh Sherman as superintendent of president. The University, a few months ago, celebrated with brilliant exercises its semi-centennial, and upon that occasion there came from New York to speak for the family of its first executive P. Tecumseh Sherman, the youngest son of the general. During the first years of its existence the institution has passed through many vicissitudes and has developed from a small military seminary into a modern University, but it has never lost the impress of its first organization, perfected from 1859 to 1861 by Sherman. During the war Sherman´s expressed wishes preserved the institution from total destruction by the Federal armies, and after the war the University, struggling under the weight of carpet-baggism, continued to receive assistance from him in his position of authority. Finally, it was due mainly to him that the Federal government gave to the University its present beautiful site - the old military post of Baton Rouge. The Louisiana State Seminary, to the presidency of which Sherman was elected on August 2, 1859, was in origin and organization similar to the state universities of other states. Its endowment was derived from the sale of public lands donated in 1806 and 1811 for educational purposes to the state of Louisiana. For the location of the school many towns fought before the legislature until 1852 when that body chose a site out in the pine woods four miles from Alexandria, in Rapides Parish, on the north bank of Red River. Here during the next six years a fine building was erected, and meanwhile the legislature enacted several laws providing for the academic organization.
