Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Josiah Quincy, President of Harvard University: Before the Board of Overseers of That Institution, February 25, 1845, on the Minority Report of the Committee of Visitation, Presented to That Board by George Bancroft, Esq., February 6, 1845 The subjoined Speech was made under circumstances which I deem it proper briefly to explain. It is now published, in order that the views I entertain with regard to the several topics touched upon in it may be known to the public, and particularly to the friends of Harvard College. In the year 1843, George Bancroft, Esq., a politician well known to the people of this Commonwealth, obtained a seat at the Board of Overseers of Harvard College, through the temporary ascendency of the political party to which he belongs, with the aid, as was stated at the time, of Calvinistic votes. In that and the succeeding year, three Calvinists, two clergymen and one layman, were elected into the Board, chiefly, as was also then stated, by the union of the same influences. On the 6th of February last, Mr. Bancroft made an attack upon Harvard College, in the form of a Minority Report from the Committee of Visitation, containing statements which I could not but deem false, and insinuations relative to the condition of the seminary and the labors of its Professors, which I knew to be unjust. In this Report, he animadverted, in terms of reprobation, on the sectarian character of Harvard College. The course of his remarks on this subject was forthwith followed and supported by two of the Calvinistic members who had obtained their seats at the Board as above mentioned; the one of them giving the weight of his political, and the other the weight of his religious, character to Mr. Bancroft's views.

Download or read book Science at Harvard University written by Clark A. Elliott and published by Lehigh University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection of original historical essays examines aspects of the relationship between science and the nation's oldest academic institution. This is history as viewed from the varying perspectives of a group of scholars for whom science at Harvard University is a significant component of their ongoing research. Thus, the essays are of specialist interest, while collectively the volume is a case study of science in an institutional setting. In conducting their research, the authors have used a wealth of primary sources from the Harvard Archives and other repositories." "The volume opens with a thematic introduction by Margaret Rossiter reflecting the picture of Harvard science drawn in the several papers in the volume, while suggesting ways in which a study of Harvard relates to and illuminates the history of science in America." "The subsequent papers follow a generally chronological sequence, beginning with Sara Schechner Genuth's study of attitudes toward comets in relation to early Harvard University programs and functions. Mary Ann James examines the beginnings of applied science at Harvard, and Bruce Sinclair continues that theme with a comparative study of MIT and Harvard." "Toby Appel's paper on zoologist Jeffries Wyman identifies the special part that personal character plays in institutional history. Curtis Hinsley concentrates on facilities and shows how the Peabody Museum gave rise to teaching in anthropology. David Livingstone's biographical treatment of Nathaniel S. Shaler reveals a number of intellectual strands running through the University in the late nineteenth century, and John Parascandola's paper on L. J. Henderson likewise deals with a figure of wide influence and many interests, ranging from biochemistry to sociology. The latter topic leads to Lawrence Nichols's account of the rise of sociology at Harvard. A view of the internal tensions within psychology are seen in Rodney Triplet's study of Henry A. Murray." "I. Bernard Cohen examines the relations among Howard Aiken, IBM, and Harvard in the development of the Mark I computer, while Peggy Kidwell studies the Observatory community during World War II and its response to national defense and a developing federal support system." "Finally, Clark Elliott considers the history of Harvard science as a field for study through a review of published literature and archival sources and makes suggestions for further investigation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
