Stone. The author, Noah Porter, was president of Yale College and a strong advocate for Christian education. He believed that Christianity should be the foundation of all higher education, and that colleges and universities should be places where students could learn to live a life of Christian service. Porter's address outlines his vision for a Christian college, one that would be committed to both academic excellence and the development of Christian character. He argues that Christianity is essential for the full development of the human mind and heart, and that a Christian college is the best place for students to learn how to live a life of purpose and meaning. Porter's address is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the role of religion in higher education. It is a thoughtful and persuasive argument for the importance of Christian education, and it offers a clear vision for what a Christian college can be.
