Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Williston Seminary The beginning of this book was in the Williston Seminary anniversary of 1870, more definitely in an address delivered on that occasion by Rev. Henry Clay Trumbull, D.D. (1844). "The Value of an Historic Consciousness" was what the speaker tried to have his audience rightly estimate, as rightly and highly as it had been estimated by other institutions. Dr. Trumbull urged that it would be wise to gather the story of worthy achievement, done by this school through those who here had taught and those who here had been taught, before much of it should be forgotten and lost. This was the beginning of a movement among former pupils in which the trustees of the school afterwards co-operated. In 1872 the writer of this book was persuaded to add to his school duties the task of gathering biographical facts about former trustees, teachers and pupils. A volume of Williston Seminary Records was published in 1874. The condition of the school treasury prevented the issue of subsequent editions at intervals of five years, as had been hoped. But the interest awakened, and correspondence started, resulted in the receipt of a quantity of historic matter, statistical, biographical, reminiscent. The custodian of this material has remembered Dr. Trumbull´s plea. Hence this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
