An Address Delivered at the Inauguration of the Author as President of Dartmouth College (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
An inaugural address on the role of the college in society, blending faith, learning, and national duty.
The text argues that education rests on four core forces—family, school, state, and church—and the college sits at the center of that network. It presents the American college as a distinct institution, emphasizing broad, general training over professional specialization, and it champions a curriculum that unites languages, mathematics, logic, rhetoric, science, and history in a rigorous, well-rounded program. The author also stresses the need for ample resources, libraries, and scholarships, and he calls for a conservative yet Christian approach to teaching and governance.
What you’ll experience in this edition
- A clear vision of how a college should shape character, intellect, and civic duty
- Arguments for a broad undergraduate program that prepares a student for any path
- A discussion of why libraries, equipment, and endowments matter to a complete education
- Reflections on integrating Christianity with learning and scholarly life
Ideal for readers of educational philosophy, church history, and mid-19th century American higher education.
