Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Appreciation of the Service of James Hutchins Baker, Vol. 14: President of the University of Colorado; January 1, 1892 to January 1, 1914 On December 3rd, 1913, James Hutchins Baker, the third president of the University of Colorado, presented to the Board of Regents his resignation, to take effect on January 1st, 1914. In recognition of his distinguished service to the Institution in the twenty-two years of his presidency, the Regents gave him the title of President-Emeritus and voted to continue his salary to January 1st, 1915. At a later meeting of the Board they voted that the January number of the University of Colorado Bulletin should be a memorial in recognition of his service. The Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching have recognized his educational work by granting him a retiring allowance. The news of President Baker´s retirement brought expressions of regret from every side. Commemorative exercises were held in the Macky Auditorium on December 18th. The following evening the Faculty Senate gave a dinner in his honor. A reception in honor of Mrs. Baker was given by the ladies of the faculties on December 17th. There have been many similar functions by various groups and organizations, and others are planned for the near future. In this Bulletin are given: the letter of resignation; the Regents´ resolutions; resolutions of the faculty; abstracts of addresses made at the commemorative exercises; excerpts from editorials, letters, and telegrams. In this "Introduction" an attempt is made to give certain pertinent facts that may not appear elsewhere. James Hutchins Baker, the son of Wesley and Lucy (Hutchins) Baker, was born in Harmony, Maine, October 13th, 1848. Both parents were natives of Maine, of old New England and Revolutionary stock. He received his elementary education in the common school of his native town, and at the age of eighteen taught his first school, being self-supporting from that time. He entered Bates College, at Lewiston, Maine, in 1869, receiving the degree A.B. in 1873 and the degree A.M. in 1876. In 1892 his Alma Mater conferred on him the honorary degree LL.D. From 1873 to 1875 he was principal of the Yarmouth (Maine) High School. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
