Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of College History: An Address Delivered at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Oct, 2, 1907 But time fails me to recount all the great services rendered by this ancient society to the cause of agriculture, and the inspiration it has given to the cause of agricultural education. As friends of the college we desire to-day to recog nize with especial gratitude, by this somewhat extended notice, the profoundly important influence, partly active, partly indirect and incidental, exerted by it from first to last in helping to lay on sound and permanent foundations the Massachusetts system of agricultural education. 'the analogy between its exertions and the later and broader work of our United States Department of Agriculture, which has now grown to be one of the great universities of the world, can hardly have escaped your attention, as I have imperfectly sketched the achievements and influence of this beneficent organization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass Twenty - five years later, a second great act of Congress established in connection with each college a department of agricultural experimentation, at an annual expenditure of three-fourths of a million dollars. Again three years, and the Hon. Justin S. Morrill, with whom had orig inated the first act, after a careful observance for twenty-eight years of the colleges he had been instrumental in establishing, came forward with a new measure for their endowment, by an annual grant to each one of the same amount, commencing with and increasing each year till the maximum of had been reached, at which figure it was to remain without further increase. This again was divided in Massachusetts, one third being paid to the Institute of Technology and two-thirds to this college.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses: Delivered at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, June 21st, 1887, on the 25th Anniversary of the Passage of the Morrill Land Grant Act During the middle ages the work of the schools was limited to the education of those who were to go into the learned professions. It is even a matter of some doubt whether the great Charles, the organizer of schools in France and Germany could himself write or read. It is certain that one of the greatest of French military lead ers, as late as the time when the Renaissance was beginning to dawn, was absolutely illiterate. No'r was this condition of affairs a singular one, or one that should excite our surprise. Before the introduction of the Baconian philos Ophy, the methods of looking at the problems of life were the reverse of the methods that have now come to prevail. Aristotle said, Look into your own minds, study the nature of thought, look into the nature of things, and thus you will be able to reason out the course of con duct you ought to pursue. The Aristotelian philosophy prevailed until the seventeenth century. At length came Bacon and Descartes. Their methods were the opposite. They said, study things not so much in their nature, - which you cannot know anything about by a process of reasoning - as in their characteristics and relations. You are to reason from their external appearance and characteristics which everybody can investigate and in some sense at least understand into their internal natures. Thus it was that the Baconian or inductive philosophy had for its aim the setting of all thinking beings to the examining of the things everywhere about them. It taught not only that the domain of thought, but also that the domain of action, was open to the scrutiny of human intelligence. It exhorted everybody to pry into whatever there was within the range of observation. Examine the methods of nature, in order to discover the laws of nature. Examine the habits of animals in order to become acquainted with the laws of their development. Study the rocks, the trees, the plants, the flowers, in fact, study all the domain of nature, in order to discover the secrets of nature. The exhortation was followed in the course of the last century by the birth of what are called the Nat ural Sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of the College Graduate in American Life: An Address Delivered Before the Social Union at Amherst College, July 2, 1879 I am afraid that in accepting your invitation I have consulted my own pleasure rather than yours. I do not think you can know how unspeakably grateful to a man jaded with the care and work of public life, are expressions of good will that come to him from a company of scholars. You can hardly conceive how delightful the opportunity to change the scene by a visit to a famous college on the days of its high festival. It is like being a guest in some stately baronial hall, rich with association and tradition, from which have issued forth, and shall again, in each generation, brave knights, wise statesmen, illustrious scholars; whose walls are hung with portraits of famous wits to whom it has been native or hospitable; its cabinets rich with the contributions of science; its libraries stored with rare manuscripts and priceless editions; with its stories of royal visits, and its chambers where illustrious children were born, or illustrious guests have slept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opening of Walker Hall: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass;, Oct; 20, 1870 WE have assembled for a public opening Of our new tem ple of science, - Walker Hall. I had no intention, till quite recently, Of presenting any remarks on this occasion but having failed in all hopes Of an address from other quarters, and thinking it not quite becoming that SO great an event in our college-life as the completion and first occupation Of such an edifice should be passed over without attention, I have con cluded to occupy a few moments on some Of the subjects con nected with collegiate education, which are now agitating the minds Of all liberally-educated and most other intelligent men. They are subjects on which I have long reflected, but for the complete presentation Of which I have now but too little time. A few preliminary statements would seem to be required by the circumstances under which we meet. The origin Of our building, the munificent spirit in which its funds were con tributed, the uses and Special kinds Of learning for which it was constructed, the division Of its apartments, the order and methods Of its architecture, with notices commemorative Of the principal donor, and Of the noble gentlemen by whom he was generously seconded, - all have been sufficiently set forth in a pamphlet entitled Exercises at the Laying Of the corner-stone Of Walker Hall, June 10, 1868.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Guard; The Famous "Faculty of Four;" The Mission and Future of the College; Its Debt to Amherst College, Harvard College and Other Institutions: Read at the Fortieth Anniversary of the Opening of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Oct. 2, 1871 As President Hitchcock's report was published broadcast, it is more than likely that Senator Morrill of Vermont read that report, and perhaps gained from it the inspiration which led him to introduce into Congress in 1857 a bill requesting that public lands be donated to each State which provides colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. Consideration of this bill was postponed because of the civil war, but it was finally enacted in 1862; and to it we owe the great, democratic land - grant colleges of this country, such as Cornell University and the universities of Iowa, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, in fact, we have one in every northern State.
