An Address Delivered at the Inauguration of the Author as President of Dartmouth College (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
A thoughtful look at how family, school, church, and state shape a broad Christian education for today’s students.
This work argues for a college that blends tradition with a clear moral purpose to prepare leaders for life and service.
The book examines the four great forces that mold civilization and shows why the college should be the centerpiece of a comprehensive education. It argues that learning is not just about ideas, but about forming character, faith, and civic duty within a Christian framework. Readers are guided through the aims, methods, and responsibilities of higher education, with a focus on practical preparation for professional life and public service.
Drawing on historical insight and a belief in the enduring value of literature, science, and religious study, the text calls for ample resources, conservative stewardship, and a holistic approach. It emphasizes language, math, science, and ethical reflection, and it frames the college as both a guardian of tradition and a driver of thoughtful progress.
- Clarifies the roles of family, school, state, and church in shaping character and intellect.
- Details why a liberal, broadly based college education should ground professional study and civic responsibility.
- Advocates for strong libraries, facilities, and a well-rounded curriculum to foster deep, lasting learning.
- Argues for a Christian-centered approach that harmonizes faith, ethics, and intellectual inquiry.
Ideal for readers interested in the philosophy of education, Christian higher learning, and the historical role of colleges in shaping society.
