Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Amherst College During Its First Half Century, 1821-1871 For the biographical sketch beginning on page 575 and the accompanying portrait, I disclaim all responsibility. I found in the letters of loving and grateful pupils not a few intima tions that the author would hold no unimportant place in the History, if it were impartially written. But I gave no heed nor credence to these suggestions. At length, however, as I was drawing near to the close of the work, the Alumni Committee having previously spied out the land, a surprise party took pos session of my house and filled those pages with such matter as they saw fit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consecrated Eminence: The Story of the Campus and Buildings of Amherst College Great Visions are not reserved for saints and seers. A handful of ordinary men in a small town in the Connecticut Valley conceived the grandiose dream of a college to educate young men of hopeful piety who should go forth and carry the message to the world. The magnitude of their dream is attested by the two words they placed on the college seal: Terms Irradient. They have been followed by countless men and women who for a century and a quarter have had the vision and the wis dom to make possible by their gifts the college plant of today.

Download or read book Amherst Life written by Walter Savage Ball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amherst Life: Selections From the Undergraduate Publications at Amherst College The aim has been to make this distinct ively an Amherst book. In accordance with this aim, a department has been given to articles on the Amherst senate, whose rise was viewed with so much interest by the colleges of the country and whose fall was mourned by the many friends of Amherst. Here will be found a letter written by an alumnus to the Amherst Student, at the time when the senate ques tion was in special debate. In the same department are placed the undergraduate ideas on compulsory church and chapel. The lightly expressed sentiments of the student often convey in the directest man ner his more earnest and thoughtful opinions on such questions as these. A book on Amherst life would also be incom plete to alumni, present and future, without some memories of the faculty, for many of the student's best ideas come in connection with the professor himself, rather than the professor's teaching, where they of course belong.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Record of the Alumni of Amherst College, During Its First Half Century: 1821 1871 In the Preface to the History of Amherst College, which was published in 1873, it was announced that at my instance and the request of the Faculty Professors Crowell and Montague had commenced the collection of materials for a History of the Graduates of the College, which would be given to the public as soon as it could be prepared. After the lapse of ten years that promise is now ful filled, though not without some change of plan and of hands in the execution of the work, which will be explained in the Preface. Meanwhile Professor Montague has prepared and printed, with great labor and painstaking, a Record of the non-graduate Members of Amherst College from 1821 to 1871. These three works, the His tory of the College, the Record of its Alumni, and the Record of its non-graduates, together with the Exercises at the semi-centennial, and Student Life at Amherst, all clustering about the semi-genten nial, make up a pretty complete picture, or series of pictures, of Amherst College during the first half century of its existence.

Download or read book A History of Amherst College written by William S. Tyler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Amherst College: During the Administrations of Its First Five Presidents, From 1821 to 1891 The first edition of this history appeared shortly after the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the college, and was entitled "History of Amherst College during its First Half Century, 1821-1871." The present new edition has been written and revised with particular reference to two objects, viz: first, the continuation of the history so as to include the close of Dr. Stearns' presidency and the entire administration of President Seelye, thus making it a history of Amherst under its first five presidents; and second, at the same time to abridge the work and make it a smaller and less costly volume, which should be within the means of every graduate. In thus abridging it, I have been under the necessity of omitting the biographical sketches of the founders and benefactors, the trustees and faculty, and the personal contributions of alumni of the college, which were a characteristic feature of the first edition and gave it variety, lifelike reality, and dramatic interest. But whatever it may have thus lost in variety and individuality, we trust it has gained in fulness and completeness as a history of the college. My first thought was to write a separate book on the religious history of the college. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Amherst College written by Edward Hitchcock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Amherst College: Historical, Scientific, Biographical and Autobiographical; Also, of Other and Wider Life Experiences, (With Four Plates and a Geological Map) I have now been for months on the bed Of sickness, balancing between life and death. I have, therefore, just sent in to the Trustees, a resignation of my connection with Amherst College, to take effect at Commencement, July 9th, at the close Of my 38th collegiate year. The chief remaining Objection to the publication of this work viz.: my connection with College, seems to me therefore to be taken out Of the way, for although the Trustees did not accept my resignation, I have in fact ceased to have any connection with the Operations of the College. I trust this book will be found to possess an interest extending beyond the affairs and particular friends Of Amherst College, for it contains a large amount of facts, anecdotes and principles, drawn from almost every portion of my life, and almost all parts Of the world, as I have intimated on the title-page. The friends of the College are indeed very numerous and wide spread, but I trust that general readers will find enough here to repay their attention and perusal. The publishers are Of Opinion that my portrait, prefixed to the work, would add to its interest with very many. I cannot agree with them in this Opinion, and had set myself resolutely against any thing Of the kind, but I yield the point with as good a grace as I can. God bless Amherst College, now and in all coming time, with all connected with it, and all its graduates.
