Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to the People of Maryland: By the Visitors and Governors of St. John´s College, Annapolis, August 1st;, 1868 To the People of the State of Maryland: The Board of Visitors and Governors of St. Johns College, in making an earnest appeal to the people of Maryland, on behalf of that institution, beg leave to preface their statement with a brief recital of its history, believing that in that history may be found the records of a gratifying success, as well as the sufficient explanation of subsequent disappointments, and the assurance of a growing and permanent career of usefulness awaiting the College in the future, if it shall receive at the hands of Marylanders the confidence and support to which it is entitled. In making this recital, it will be their aim to avoid all prolixity of detail, and to touch only on the topics essential to an exposition of the successive events which have given color and complexion to the changing fortunes of the College. As St. John´s College is but a continuation and enlargement of an earlier institution of learning, founded at Annapolis towards the close of the 17th century, under the auspices of the then reigning sovereign of Great Britain, it is proper that the distinctive history of the College should begin with a brief reference to the famous "King William School," which was so largely auxiliary to its foundation, the Visitors and Trustees of that school being among the largest contributors to the original establishment of the College, and finally merging the operations of the former in those of the latter. During the reign of William the Third, in the year 1696, the Colonial Legislature of Maryland passed a "Petitionary Act," praying for the establishment of "a Free School in Anne Arundel Town, upon the Severn River," with corporate powers and privileges authorizing its Rector, Governors and Visitors, according to the revenues which might subsequently come into their possession, to found a similar Free School in every county of the Province.
