So clearly did he see this that he bequeathed to found a National University for the highest education. His will is unfulfilled.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Bucknell University, 1846 1896, Lewisburg, Pa Bucknell University have been distinguished for hard Work. When a man puts his conscience into his work, especially when he regards life as a Divine vocation, he will not do his work with eye service as a pleaser of men, but with singleness of heart, as unto God. Another capital reason for this spirit of work is, that most of our students are from families of moderate means. Their future is not made for them; they must make it for themselves. Such men are the coming leaders of the world. To induce such men to enter its classes, our oldest American university expends annually to Since it has adopted that policy its graduates are again taking the lead in every vocation. Our attendance is composed almost wholly of such men. Consequently the faithful, hard working student at Bucknell is not regarded as an oddity, as is the case in some colleges, but work here has always been regarded as honorable and the worker has not been despised. This is as true to-day of Bucknell as it has ever been. An examination of the records shows that the percentage of hard-working students is as great as at any time in the history of the institution. The introduction of electives has also quickened the mental life of the institution, and broadens greatly the student's conception of the field of knowledge. I dwell thus upon the character of the students who come here, and the Spirit which prevails because of their supreme importance as educational factors. The students educate and form one another. The other chief element in the life of the school is the men who teach. Education is not the acquisition of knowledge. Teaching is not the professor's chief function. He ought to be an educator, and education is dynamical. The professor educates by what he is; by what he is as a student and scholar, still more by what he is as a man. His mental force, his power of will, his self-command, his social tact, above all his warm sym pathy, are much more potential in education, and much more valuable than learning and intellectual acumen. It is in the character of the professors that the Christian school should be pre-eminent. It is a mooted question what part of the curriculum should be given to religious instruction. What place shall the Bible have? Many think that if there could be daily recitations in the Bible, in all the classes, that the school would be pre-eminently Christian. Ido not disparage Bible-study in the college; on the contrary, I favor it. Yet you might have the Bible given as promi nent a place as the most ardent advocate of such teaching would ask, and the school be atheistic. The only place in the Christian school that the Christian religion can have, so that Christ will be first and last and all, is in 2.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Acadia College and Horton Academy for the Half-Century 1828-1878 The publication of this Memorial Volume has been delayed by the cares and labors connected with the te building of the College. But the book contains matter that is of permanent value; and, perhaps, it may be re ceived with greater interest because it appears some time after the occasion on which several of the papers here preserved were first presented to the public. In some instances the same facts appear in different parts of the volume; but as each writer has presented them from his own point of View, it has been thought best to let the papers stand without modification. It is quite pro bable that the Record of Graduates may not be correct in all cases; but it has been prepared with much care and after extensive correspondence. It was not intended to include changes that have taken place since the close of the year 1878. The material of the Appendix, excepting the Legislative Acts, was found among the.

The genius of Fitch made the atmosphere and spirit of that institution too typical and too comprehensive to be segregated on the Galesburg campus. What Knox is proud of is the fact that George Fitch is one of her sons; that by the quality of his work as a writer he won a distinct and a distinguished place in literature, a unique position among American humorists; and most of all that in his life, both public and private, he exemplified standards and' ideals which can bring only honor to the institution which had a part in the equipment and training for his work.

Download or read book The University Record Memorial Number March 1906 Classic Reprint written by William Rainey Harper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University Record: Memorial Number; March, 1906 More clearly than anywhere else was this simplicity seen in his home. He was the com rade of his family and the best friend of his own children. We may not lift the veil of do mestic privacy. Yet how many times he lifted it to welcome distinguished scholars, authors, statesmen, from all parts of the world! Each of these in turn discovered in that family cir cle, bound fast in mutual service, one source of our leader's power, and each was greeted with an unaffected friendship which grappled the visitor as with hooks of steel. Out of this simplicity of character sprang a marvelous complexity of enterprise and or ganization. The immense variety of his under takings bewildered or dazzled those who could not perceive that these were all branchings from the single stem of one great purpose: It was an inner passion for unity which'led him to undertake so many tasks and formulate so elaborate plans. The wheels within wheels really formed a closely articulated mechanism for conveying a single purpose and ideal over a vast extent of territory and through many sec tions of society. He could not endure loose ends in thought or action. He would not trust his ideas to the long result of time, or the slow processes of evolution. He was not content, in Milton's phrase, to let truth and error grapple, and hope that in some future age the truth might win by its own inherent strength. He must embody that truth in some immediate visible organization, must give it hands and feet, and construct for it a pathway into all the ends of the earth. _he was instinct with the spirit of the crusader. But his crusade against the powers of darkness was no planless outburst of zeal. The hosts were marshaled, captained, provisioned; with tireless vigilance each station in the journey was determined, and the end crowned the work. No man of our generation was more greatly dowered with the constructive imagination. The same power has enabled others to con struct mentally cathedrals, bridges, tunnels, or great industrial enterprises; the power, which in others gave birth to ideal creations in art, philosophy, or literature, in his mind blossomed into far-reaching schemes for the education of the people. On a certain porch by the shore of an inland lake he sat day after day for many successive summers, and in silence dreamed out his plans for this University. Indeed, he was always dreaming, and his spirit was far in advance of any associate. I have seen him summon a stenographer and in a single hour plan a new institution of learning, with all ofii cers and departments, down to the minutest detail, doing this partly as a recreation from more difficult tasks. I have seen him stand by asand-heap and paint in vivid sentences the building that was to rise, and the work to be done there a century hence. In_these visions. He united the imagination of the artist with the faith of the Christian. He carried with him daily the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Download or read book Memorial of the First Centenary of Georgetown College D C written by John Gilmary Shea and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial of the First Centenary of Georgetown College, D. C: Comprising a History of Georgetown University, and an Account of the Centennial Celebration In the adoption of this suggestion the scope of the proposed work was extended so as to include a history of the College during its first century. Unexpected difficulties, encountered in the execution of this plan, have deferred the publication of the book to a time when the motives that led to its inception may seem to have lost something of their force. Delay, how ever, has probably operated to increase the accuracy and perfection of the work. Moreover, the history of an institution that initiated, however humbly, the higher education of Catholics in the United States, and whose development has always been closely linked with the general progress of college and university teaching in our country, as it cannot be lacking in permanent interest to scholars, can never be considered untimely. The volume is therefore put forth at this time Without apology. It remains only to give public expression here to the gratitude due from the Faculty of Georgetown University to the two authors and the publisher Of this book, and to all who, by written or Spoken word, by co-operation, as individuals or as members Of committees, have aided to the worthy com memoration Of the first Centenary of Georgetown College.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial of Noah Porter, D. D: Late of Farmington, Conn I appear before you to-day, my friends and fellow Christians, with the feeling that it is a high privilege and honor to stand in this pulpit and give my testimony to the worth of the venerable man who is'now no more. I feel also that it is a duty I owe to the memory of one with whom I was most pleasantly associated during the sixteen years when we were together members of the Corporation of Yale College. Still more, a long inti macy with his son, who is traveling across the water to recover health and strength after exhaustive labors, persuades me that there is a certain propriety in my paying a public tribute of respect to a father whom he so much reveres. And yet may I not say that I come here with embarrassment, partly because I fail in that minute and circumstantial knowledge which is so im portant on occasions like these, and partly because you all know the venerable man at whose funeral we are gathered, so well, that you need no description of his life and character, and because you honor him with such unqualified honor, that he needs no eulogy.
