Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses at the Inauguration of Bryn Mawr College To-day we rejoice in a culmination and a beginning. The long course of providential events which led to the founding of Bryn Mawr College and the patient work of preparation for it have closed, and the actual life of the College has begun. It is most fit, then, while acknowledging that every good gift is from above, that we should give just, honor to Dr. Taylor, whose liberal mind and generous heart led him to design this Institution for the higher education of women, and to devote almost his entire estate to its establishment. As the son of a physician who was a graduate of the College of New Jersey, and who studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Taylor must have received from his father a bias in favor of collegiate education and a regard for intellectual pursuits. The descendant of a prosperous London merchant, who, in early colonial days, made large purchases of land in northern New Jersey, he had that aptitude for commercial transactions which wins success by honorable methods; and it is a cause of profound satisfaction that the estate which he devoted to so pure and high a purpose was gained by worthy means, and was unstained by injustice or wrong.
