This book examines the academic life of William Gammell, a 19th-century professor and scholar whose career reflected a commitment to the notion that higher education should prepare students for a life of good works. William Gammell was a pioneering scholar of his time, not only for his work as a teacher but also for his writings on American history and politics. Trained as a minister, Gammell turned to teaching after the death of his father, a prominent Baptist minister. After several years as a tutor, he was appointed to the faculty of Brown University, where he taught for 40 years. Gammell was a dedicated and effective teacher, known for his high standards and his ability to inspire his students.
