Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Centennial Celebration of the Foundation of the University of Maryland It is an undecided question whether history makes the man, or whether the man, i.e., forceful personality makes history. In the same manner, it is still undecided whether men make universities, or universities make men. Very probable it is, that no hard and fast conclusion will represent the absolute truth in this respect, but that the forces are active from both aspects. Men do make history and history does make men; and similarly men create universities and universities make men. What a powerful factor in the development of a nation universities can be is demonstrated by the histories of the older American universities and the potential intellectual forces that have emanated from them. This is also evident from the history of the University of Maryland, as given in the History of Education in Maryland, by Bernard C. Steiner, Ph.D., (Contribution to the American Educational History, United States Bureau of Education). It is also shown in the history of the University of Maryland by Prof. Eugene F. Cordell, M.A., M.D., Baltimore, 1891; and also a much larger history by the same author, published in two volumes by the Lewis Publishing Company, New York. It is not the intention of the editor to give a review of the history of our institution. Those interested will find abundant material in the volumes just quoted, and many reference will be ´contained in the addresses presented in the following pages.
