Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a transcript of the speeches given at the inauguration of Amherst College's sixth president, Merrill E. Gates, in 1891. The speeches revolve around the importance of a college education for developing knowledge, life, and power and discuss how this mission has remained the same from the college's inception despite changes in the topics and methods of teaching. The author believes advanced education is essential for our time and emphasizes the need for high standards, thorough work, and strong character formation in college students. The book also examines the theoretical versus practical value of education and the benefits of learning and practicing principles over relying on improvised solutions. Balancing themes of history, philosophy, religion, ethics, and social reform, the book highlights the vital role of an educated citizenry in promoting a strong and noble national life.
