Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Inaugural Address: Delivered July 27, 1859 The present occasion seems not an inappropriate one for considering, in some of its aspects, the Collegiate System of the United States. It originated not in educational theories, nor in great schemes for the future, but in a present and urgent necessity. The early colonists of this continent were men of sufficient cultivation and discernment to see almost at once that the education of their young people must be provided for, and provided for among themselves. If there was an early and somewhat exclusive regard to the necessities of clerical culture, the motives to early emigration and the character of the first colonists will sufficiently account for it, and still leave the full impression that the first collegiate establishments were intended to meet precisely the educational wants of the time. As new colonies were founded, settlements extended, and population increased, while facilities for travelling and communication were imperfect, new institutions came into existence in almost all respects similar to those first established.
