Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Dr. D. K Pearsons: Friend of the Small College and of Missions This book has been written to stimulate and encourage those into whose hands wealth has come, to make, while yet alive such distribution of it as they would wish others to make of it after their decease. The story of what Dr. Pearsons has done is full of stimulus and hope for ambitious young men, even if born poor. It bears testimony to the value of principle, earnest purpose, and devotion to a single object while that object is pursued. It shows what a change in public sentiment, gifts wisely made and scattered over a series of years, can produce in reference to such institutions of learning as our small colleges. If the State Universities and the marvellous work they have done, owe their existence to the Morrill Act, the suggestion of a Vermont man, the small colleges and the thousands of young people who attend them owe the work they are doing and the regard in which they are held to the gifts of another Vermont man, the man whose life and deeds it is the purpose of this book to relate. It should be said that the responsibility for the appearance of the book rests wholly upon its author and not all upon Dr. Pearsons, who has not even suggested that any record of what he has done for higher education be made public.
