Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Foss Hall: The Gift of Mrs. Eliza Adaline Foss Dexter of Worcester, Mass My wife has great satisfaction in the gift which she is making to the young women of her native State, for which she has a great affection. Mrs. Dexter would request that Dean Berry, acting in her behalf, lay the corner-stone. We hope to be present in Waterville when the dormitory is dedicated. After Dean Berry, in accordance with the wish of Mrs. Dexter, had laid the corner-stone of the building, Hon. Percival Bonney, LL. D., President of the Board of Trustees of Colby College, delivered the following address: The Legislature of Massachusetts on the 27th day Judge of February, A. D. 1813, established the Maine Literary and Theological Institution "for the purpose of educating youth," and directed that the income of the funds of the corporation should be appropriated "in such manner as shall most effectually promote virtue and piety, and a knowledge of such of the languages and of the liberal arts and sciences as shall be hereafter directed from time to time by said corporation." Later the name was changed to Waterville College, under which its work was carried on for forty-six years. On the 8th day of August, 1859, I came here a lad of sixteen, and with fear and trembling took my examinations before Professors Foster and Hamlin and Tutor H. W. Richardson, all scholarly and impressive instructors who have passed into rest. Those were the days of small things. President Champlin, with four professors and one tutor, constituted the faculty, but the latter for financial reasons was discharged from service before the close of my college course. The buildings consisted of Champlin Hall and North and South College, - three in all. The recitation rooms, with two exceptions, were partly under ground in the basement of what is now Champlin Hall.
