Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument for establishing a university in the Mississippi Valley, as the author, a minister and missionary for the West, attempts to raise the funds to do so. The author makes the case that the establishment of a first-rate university in the area will be a boon to the nation as a whole as well as to the people of the immediate region. Pointing out that Harvard University has played a critically important role in developing the nation intellectually, he believes a school in the Mississippi Valley can play a similar role while also helping to rehabilitate the social, economic, and political life of the area after the Civil War. The author argues that endowing a university with funds and land will help to ensure that it can attract and retain the best teachers who can offer top-notch education even to those without wealth. The author believes that the advancement of knowledge through education is key to the nation's progress and prosperity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
