Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and evolution of Colby University from its founding as a theological institution in 1813 to its transformation into a college in 1820. The author chronicles the challenges and triumphs faced by the institution during its early years, including the resistance from the Massachusetts Baptist Education Society and financial difficulties that threatened its existence. Through the dedication of its founders, including Reverend Jeremiah Chaplin and Reverend Stephen Chapin, as well as support from prominent individuals like Daniel Merrill and Timothy Boutelle, the college gradually overcame these obstacles. The author delves into the internal and external factors that shaped Colby University's development, such as the establishment of a manual labor department, the construction of new buildings, and the gradual expansion of the curriculum beyond theology to include the liberal arts. The book offers insights into the role of religious institutions in education and highlights the importance of perseverance and adaptability in shaping the legacy of educational institutions.
