Exercises Connected With the Inauguration of Rev. Charles An; Aiken, D.D., As President of Union College (Classic Reprint): Schenectady, New York, Tuesday, June 28, 1870 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A timely look at how a historic college framed education for a changing world—and what it asked of students and teachers alike.
This book gathers an inaugural moment at Union College, where a new president is introduced and a clear vision for learning is laid out. The address blends respect for tradition with a call for practical, broad education that trains both mind and character. It sets out aims for liberal training, balancing classical study with scientific progress, and it discusses how colleges can prepare graduates to contribute to society while upholding moral and religious purpose.
- Discover the three aims of a liberal education as described: reverence for truth, the power to acquire and use knowledge, and the ability to impart learning.
- See the debate over prescribed study versus student choice, and how early study should be guided to build a solid foundation.
- Learn how the author imagines integrating science, mathematics, literature, and moral culture within a single college framework.
- Explore the role of physical culture and religion in shaping a well-rounded, responsible citizen.
Ideal for readers of education history, university philosophy, and 19th‑century American thought, this edition offers a window into how educators envisioned the purpose and structure of higher learning.
