Description:Excerpt from The Inauguration of the Rev. Francis Landey Patton, as President of Princeton CollegeThe principles to govern the future growth of the College were thus fully set forth, as we consider the charter, the first inaugural address, and the college seal, viz: that education here was to be something altogether broader than mere training of godly men for the ministry, and on the other hand that education here was to be in its prof oundest sense Cnmsz'z'an. By such ties then, are the Commencements of 1748 and 1888, linked together. The infant College of New Jersey in 1748, having escaped all the ills incident to college childhood - especially its most dangerous foe, want of nourishment - aspires in 1888 to be the University of Princeton. The life of institutions, as history fully attests, is determined largely, if not absolutely fixed, by the spirit of their founders. Be that liberal and progressive, the type 15 there, as the oak in the acorn. But while this is unquestionably true, we cannot forget that the men who preside over their expansion must be men comprehending fully and in hearty sympathy with, the principles governing their foundation. Such in fact have been the men who in this country have been chosen to this high office. The Presidents of our American Colleges have from the beginning been men of noble mark, the very elect in their callings, leaders in the 'church, not seldom leaders in both Church and State. No other class of men have done more than they to build up our American civilization which, though according to Mr.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
