Excerpt: CHAPTER III GROWTH OF THE COLLEGE 1. Griffith Powell Principal. Foe years — indeed ever since his first election as Fellow in about 1590 — Griffith Powell had resided in the College, and had devoted himself to its interests, practically directing it during the prolonged ahsence of Dr. Bevans, and acting as Tutor and Vice-Principal under Dr. Williams. There was no sort of doubt that he was the right man for the vacant Principalship. The election, however, was not in this case made either by resident or non-resident Fellows. On former occasions the elections by Fellows, whether collegialiter or non-collegialiter congregati, had no doubt been authorised or confirmed by the Commissioners. Now, as we have seen, a quorum of Commissioners was not to be secured, and accordingly the College, in the absence of statutes, might be considered to have fallen back into the position of a Hall, the Principal of which was nominated by the Chancellor of the University. This, at any rate, was the view taken by the Chancellor, Lord Ellesmere, who accordingly wrote to Dr. Singleton, the Vice-Chancellor: " Whereas I doe find by your letter that the office of the Principal of Jesus College is now voyde by the death ofMr Dr Williams |

Excerpt from book: V THE GOVERNMENT OF STUDENTS flpHE history of the government of the students J- in American colleges is a history of increasing liberality and orderliness. The government of the colonial period was of a kind like the civil government. It was minute in its inspection of students, and severe in its punishments. It was in order at Harvard College, at or about 1674, for the President or the Fellows to punish recreant students either by fine or by whipping, as the nature of their offenses should require. Each case was to be represented, in case of a pecuniary amount, by a fine not to exceed ten shillings, or, if corporal punishment were the penalty, by ten stripes. This whipping, too, was to be clone openly. Judge Sewall, in his diary, says that in 1674 a student was publicly whipped for speaking blasphemous words. In addition to this castigation he was suspended from taking his bachelor’s degree, and suffered also certain other evil consequences. The execution of the sentence was quite as characteristic as its nature. The sentence was read twice publicly in the library, in the presence of allthe students and representatives of the government.’ The offender knelt, the President prayed, and the blows were laid on. The services were closed with another prayer by the President. Gradually corporal punishment passed out of use, but it was near the beginning of the last century when this form of penalty ceased.1 The offenses against college laws and procedure were of various sorts, and related in a far more intimate degree to personal character and behavior than would now be suffered. In the first third of the last century the students were subjected to a close inspection by their tutors. Tutors are directed to see that the students retire early to their chambers on Saturday evening, … |

Excerpt from book: were distinctly recognised as junior scholars pursuing junior studies. Xhe essential characteristic of Wainfleet’s foundation is its careful elaboration and gradation, with the provision of suitable teaching at each grade, and the fact that both the highest and the lowest teaching were thrown open without payment to all members of the University. The Grammar Master and Usher provided a due grounding in Grammar. The instruction in the next stage, that of Logic and Sophistry, was furnished by the College lecturers. Finally, for the highest study there were the three Prse- lectors in the three subjects of Theology and of Natural and Moral Philosophy. These were practically University teachers, though appointed by the College. Their lectures were open to members of other colleges, and they were, in fact, an anticipation of the Professorial and Intercollegiate as distinguished from the College system. In this at any rate Wainfleet can lay claim to originality, and may be pronounced a real pioneer in the higher education of his country. The importance which he himself attached to his " Readers " is shown by the high rate of pay which he assigned to them. The Choir at Magdalen, as at New College, was from the first intended to be of great importance. The WV "f fhe ttatnites were jeady when the College was finished to receive them in the.summer of 1480. But the first President, ‘"" 17 -"" B William Tybard, was hardly the man to carry them out.

Sidney Sussex College $19.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE FOUNDATION The Earl of Kent and Sir John Harrington proceeded to the work of founding Lady Sidney’s College. Fuller writes: " These two noble executors in pursuance of the will of this testatrix, according to her desire and direction therein, presented Queen Elizabeth a jewel, being like a star, of rubies and diamonds, with a ruby in the midst thereof, worth an hundred and forty pounds, having on the back side a hand delivering up a heart unto a crown. At the delivery hereof they humbly requested of her Highness a Mortmain to found a College, which she graciously granted unto them. . . . We usually observe infants born in the seventh month, though poor and pitiful creatures, are vital; and, with great care and good attendance, in time prove proper persons. To such a partus septimeslris may Sidney College well be resembled, so low, lean, and little at the birth thereof. Alas what is five thousand pounds to buy the site, build and endow a college therewith ? . . . Yet such was the worthy care of her honourable executors, that this Benjamin College?the least, and last in time, and born after (as he at) the death of its mother ?thrived in a short time to a competent strength and stature." The licence was not actually granted till 1594. Some delay ensued; for it was not till 1593 that, at the motion of the executors, an Act of Parliament was passed enabling Trinity College to sell or let at fee farm the site of the Grey Friars " any locall Statutes of the said Colledge or any statute or lawe of this Realme to the contrarie notwithstandinge." Thereupon Queen Elizabeth wrote to the Master and Seniors of Trinity, requiring them to sell or grant the site to the executors at some reasonable price, " considering that their suite tendeth to a common benefi… |

The Civil Servants of the East India Company were originally called "Factors,"1 and, by an order of the 24th September 1599, it was laid down that " no Factor or other officer to be employed in the viage shall be admitted or appointed thereto but by a generall Assemblie of the Adventurors and then elected by the consent of the greater number of them assembled."

The City College; Memories of Sixty Years $29.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: The College of the Past Richard R. Bowker, ‘68 "1 OOK forward and not backward" is a wholesome counsel in the conduct of life. But an institution must be judged somewhat in the light of its past, from which its present has developed and which emphasizes to some extent its future. " Respice?Adspice? Prospice," the motto suggested by Prof. Charles E. An- thon for the College of the City of New York, tells the whole story, and in the critical change in the affairs of the College of which this volume is a memorial, it is peculiarly fitting that there should be first of all a retrospect of what the College has been as we look forward to what the College is to be. The story of public education in New York City is almost an epitome of the history of its general development in this country. Public education was first a matter of private enterprise, and it is interesting to note that the earliest provisions for it had to do with the higher education. This was especially true in New York. King’s College was in fact a child of the State, and when, in 1784, after the Revolution, "the Colledge of the Province of New York," as it was also called, was / revme’d-.afef Columbia College, under which name it is rUvday- making. New York the seat of a great university, ‘it’ was’ at" first ”proposed to call it definitively the State College, and eight State and city officials were included in its governing body. Its munificent endowment of 24,000 acres was a gift of the province, made in 1767, and when, in the early part of the nineteenth century, after the cession of those lands to Vermont, this was replaced by the magnificent estate in the upper part of the city which is the foundation of its present fortune, the State added also a money donation of ten thousand dollars.

The College Girl of America $26.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: WELLESLEY COLLEGE Wellesley, the " College Beautiful," is the exquisite product of a poet’s lovely thought. To say that Wellesley is a poem were hardly to put the thing too strongly, founded as the institution was, in memory of a poet’s dead child, as testimony to a poet’s faith in a kind and gracious God. Just fifty years ago Henry Welles Smith, a rising young lawyer of Boston, ? who was later to take the name of Henry Fowle Durant, because he was being constantly confounded with a neighlxHiring business man who bore his own name, ? married Pauline Fowle, his cousin, and the daughter of a gallant soldier. The young couple lived for a time in Boston, but the year after their marriage purchased the Wellesley estate. Here, in a rambling farmhouse, it was the Durants’ custom to spend the summers enjoying the delights of country life. And here, in 1855, their child was bom, a lovely boy, who was the pride and delight of both. Yet it was not ordained that this Henry Durant should grow to manhood, for when he was but eighthe slipped away under a trying illness. While his little boy was hovering between life and death, and he did not yet know what would be the issue of the illness, the clever lawyer, his father, saw clearly that he had a duty to God which he had never fully discharged, and he resolved, whether his son were spared or not, to devote himself and all his possessions to the highest ends. The little heir was taken away, but in the keenness of his sorrow, Henry Durant accepted the loss in the higher sense of discipline and determined to put into a consecrated life the same earnestness which he had hitherto put into a worldly one. The secret of Mr. Durant’s success at the bar had been a certain intensity which enabled him to influence others by giving his whole stren… |

History of Westminster College, 1851-1903 (1903) $29.48 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II. FROM 1855 TO THE RESIGNATION OF PRESIDENT LAWS, NOV. 1861. HE Second Annual Commencement of the college was on the twenty-sixth of June, 1856. The two Literary Societies celebrated jointly their first anniversary on Monday night preceding Commencement Day. Rev. S. J. P. Anderson, D. D., then pastor of the Central Presbyterian church in St. Louis, delivered the address, choosing for his subject "The Treasure in Words." The graduating class consisted of three members: Robert N. Baker, Jacob P. Broadwell, and Robert McPheeters. With this class graduated Hon. John A. Hockaday, who had taken the entire course except a part of the prescribed Greek, and was therefore the first scientific graduate of Westminster College. Mr. Hockaday has since received the honorary degree of A. M. from the Institution, an honor most richly deserved. The number of students in attendance during the year was 120, representing five states. Also the degree of LL. D. from Central College, Mo. The summary, taken from the Catalogue, shows that Westminster thus early was a living College, as all the regular classes were in existence and at work. Summary of students for the year ending June, 1856: Senior Class, 3; Junior Class, o; Sophomore Class, 4; Freshman Class, 7; Sub-Freshman Class, 20; Second Class, 20; First Class, 32; Irregulars, 28; Total, 120. The First Class consisted of those beginning Latin, the Second, of those in the second, and the Sub-Freshman of those in the third, year of the Latin course. All students were required to study Latin three years and the Greek two years before entering the lowest class in College. This fact may account, at least in some degree, for the high standing our graduates took in the classics in every theological Seminary in which the College… |

Scudder, 25O Newbury St., Boston, Mass. Secretary, M1ss Sarah Graham Tomkins, 1904 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. Treasurer, Mrs. Herbert Parsons, 112 East Thirty-fifth St., New York City. "The idea of a College Settlement was first discussed by Smith College students in 1887, and in the following year a plan was formulated and an appeal for meney was sent out. In October, 1889, the New York College Settlement was opened in Rivington Street, but it was not till May that there was any real organization among those interested in the maintenance of the settlement. The College Settlements Association was formed partly with the idea of organizing and supporting settlements, and further, as the report of the electoral board says, to bring all college women within the scope of a common purpose and a common work. … To extend the educating power of the settlement idea is the object of the College Settlements Association. The association would unite all college women and all who account themselves our friends in the trend of a great modern movement; would touch them with a common sympathy and inspire them with a common ideal."?Second Annual Report, 1892. The association is represented by an electoral board, which apportions the funds, transacts the business and controls its general policy. The settlements included in the association are the New York College Settlement, the Philadelphia College Settlement, and the Boston College Settlement, otherwise known as Denison House. They are called college settlements because they are chiefly controlled and supported by college women, although generous support is received from other sources, and residence is in no … |

Excerpt from book: The important fraternities are those which are located in the undergraduate literary or scientific departments of the colleges and universities, and it is to this field that we have designedly confined our efforts. The Women’s Fraternities The first of the women’s Greek-letter fraternities was K A 0, founded at DePauw University in 1870. The same year K K r was founded at Monmouth, Ill. A r originated at Oxford, Miss., in 1872, and A at Syracuse at nearly the same time, r B followed A 4 at Syracuse in 1874, and A A A was organized at Boston in 1888. The I. C. Sorosis, quite similar to the Greek-letter societies in purpose, but not confined at first in its membership to college students, was founded at Monmouth College in 1867. It changed its name in 1888 to n B, and now admits only college students to its ranks. A X Q, at first a professional organization among students of music, X Q originating at Arkansas University, and a number of other societies of more recent origin constitute a complete system among the undergraduate women students. Some of the societies for women call themselves fraternities and some sororities. Both terms are used in this work. The foregoing outline will show how widespread the system is. It has become the prominent factor in the social life of American students, and as such is attracting At Wesleyan Female College, Macon, Ga., there originated in 1851 a women’s society called Adelphean. and the next year a similar society called Philomathean. In June. 1004. the second of these changed its name to M and a year later the older society changed its name to A A (since altered to A A II).

Excerpt: CHAPTER III KENYON COLLEGE AT WORTHINGTON BISHOP CHASE had at first intended to locate his school permanently upon his farm at Worthington. This is implied in his letter to Bishop White, of September 23, 1823, and in the reference in the Deed of Donation to his occupancy of "the Mansion house, as usual, during his life-time." Nevertheless, in this deed he also made, as we have seen, provision for establishing the school elsewhere than at Worthington, should the convention prefer a different location, and procure for that purpose the gift of a farm of equal, or greater, value. There were reasons why Bishop Chase inclined to prefer some other site, and these increased in cogency as time went on. He was no longer on friendly terms with all the leading families at Worthington; and Mrs. Chase felt isolated and unhappy there. He thought that there were personal influences abroad in the village that were injurious to the morals of the young men. Again, while he never repented of his offer to give his farm to the seminary, yet he may well have come to feel, on mature consideration, that he ought not to bear the whole expense of providing a location for an institution that belonged to the diocese. The property at Worthington was practically all the wealth he had. Many towns were eager to have the seminary established within their borders, and were offering buildings and money to secure it. In view of all these considerations Bishop Chase early gave up the idea of planting the seminary permanentl… |

A College Text-Book of Chemistry $52.48 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II. A STUDY OF THE ELEMENT OXYGEN. Historical.?The older chemists considered air to be a simple substance, but the experiments of Priestley (1774) and of Scheele (1775) showed that the air contains two gases, only one of which has the power to support combus tion; and they succeeded independently of each other in showing that oxygen is a distinct substance. The discovery of oxygen had a very important bearing on the work of Lavoisier on combustion, and it was he who gave the name oxygen (or oxygene) to the gas, for the reason that he supposed it to be the essential constituent of all those chemical substances which are known as acids, the word being derived from the Greek ogva, acid, and yeveiv, to produce. While this is generally true, it has since been found that the acid properties of substances are yot dependent upon oxygen, and, therefore, the name is misleading. Occurrence.?Oxygen is the most widely distributed and most abundant element of the earth. It forms, as has been stated, from 44 to 48 per cent of the solid crust of the earth; eight-ninths of water; and about one-fifth of the air. It occurs also in combination with carbon and hydrogen, or with carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in the substances which go to make up the structure of living things, whether vegetable or animal. Besides this it forms a part of most manufactured chemical products. Preparation.?Notwithstanding the abundant supply of oxygen in nature it is not a simple matter to get it in the free or uncombined state from most substances found inOXYGEN?PREPARATION. 33 nature. As it forms eight-ninths of water, and water consists of only hydrogen and oxygen, the idea suggests itself at once that it may be made by the decomposition of water. This can be accomplished without serious difficulty… |

Essays for College English $41.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE DRIFT TO THE CITIES1 G. S. DlCKERMAN It is safe to take into consideration our losses as well as our gains. The thirteenth census tells of a decade of growth in the United States. In 1900 the population was less than seventy- six millions; in 1910 it is nearly ninety-two millions, an increase of about sixteen millions. In the list of 225 cities having over 25,000 inhabitants, all but three show an increase of population, and among the 1172 smaller cities having over 2500 inhabitants, the story is much the same. Among the forty-eight states there is only one, Iowa, which does not rejoice in an increase. But some communities have not grown. In Massachusetts, with 25 large cities and 172 smaller ones and with an increase amounting to 20 per cent, there is Barnstable County that has been steadily declining for half a century, having had a population in 1860 of about 36,000, while now it has but 27,000. In Maine, there has been a good increase, especially in some of the cities; but Waldo County on the Penobscot once had a population of over 47,000, while now it numbers less than half of that; and Lincoln County, which had a population in 1860 of nearly 28,000, now has but little over 18,000. The most surprising lapses, however, are in the great states of the Mississippi Valley, whose prosperity has been almost proverbial. In Missouri, with such growing centers as St. Louis and Kansas City, which together show an increase of 196,000, we find 71 counties out of 100 in which the population has declined, with an aggregate loss of 132,000; and with an increase in urban territory of 255,000 there has been a decrease in the 1 Copyright.

The American Girl at College $20.48 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VI AMERICA TO JAPAN "’ I VHE naughty girl How can she 1 do it ? Spoil those dear little angelic creatures " remonstrated the witty essayist, Agnes Repplier, when told that Miss Ume Tsuda, Bryn Mawr’s special Japanese student, contemplated an American scholarship for the women of her native land. Doubtless Miss Repplier’s remonstrance against the higher education of Japanese women finds warm supporters in the readers of " Japonica" and Lafcadio Hearn. In the prose no less than the poetry of her native land, Miss Tsuda is probably as well versed as Sir Edwin Arnold and as worthy of a hearing. Born in Tokio, Miss Tsuda was sent to this country at the age of seven by the government of Japan to be educated. Under the patronage of the Japaneseminister at Washington she was placed in a private family in that city, and on the completion of her education at the age of eighteen she returned to Tokio and taught in the Peeresses’ school. Ambitious to pursue her studies further she returned three years ago and entered Bryn Mawr for a special course in biology. The course completed, she sailed last June for Japan to resume a higher position in the government schools. Bright, intelligent and charming is this young Japanese. She speaks English without an accent, and wears the American costume which does not become her as does her native dress. She is small of stature, with the graceful swaying movements always so captivating to the foreigner within the Flowery Kingdom. Her small, soft brown hands evidence the manicure art in which Japan achieved perfection centuries ago. Miss Tsuda numbers among her friends the most influential and cultivated women of Philadelphia, and to these she appealed some months ago, unfolding her plan ofan American scholarship for Japanese women… |

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: WABASH COLLEGE. ITS SEMI-CENTENNIAL AND ITS APOLOGY. BACCALAUREATE DISCOURSE DELIVERED IN CENTER CHURCH, CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND., JUNE 25lH, 1882, BY JOSEPH P. TUTTLE, PRESIDENT OF WABASH COLLEGE. Acts xxii: 1. "Hear my apology which I make before you this day." Half-way down the bluff northwest of our town is the ””College Spring." How long it has been there no one knows. The stream it sends down the hillside is as bright and full as when, on the 22d of November, 1832, James Thomson referred to it in a letter to Williamson Dunn, as one reason for selecting the original site on which to build a college. " ‘Tis rushing now adown the hill, And gushing out below; Half frantic in its joyousness, And wild in eager flow," St. Paul, once the leader of Jews, had become a Christian, and for this the Jews sought to kill him. To them he said, "Hear now my apology." That is, his reasons for so great a change. If "College Spring" needed any apology it might point to the stream of clear, sweet water which flows from it. Fifty years ago, near this spring, an event occurred which interests us to-day. It was the founding of Wabash College. The thought which was realized in the act just named was bomin the heart of James Thomson, the pastor of the Presbyterian church of Crawfordsville. It would be easy to show that neither the thought nor the act came by chance. Its antecedents were found in the home of a country minister, where all the children were "born again," two of whom became men whose influence has been felt powerfully at home and in lands beyond the sea. Half a mile west of Crawfordsville, fifty years ago, there was a small brick house, occupied by Mr. Thomson. On the 21st of November, 1832, nine men met in convention there. They had often converse… |
