Excerpt from The Progress of Technical Education: Including a Quarter-Century Review of the Work of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute; An Address; June 21, 1894

Every good thing in this world is a growth. Heroes appear full-panoplied only in fables. The crystalline gem is the product of years of slow accretion. So with all valuable human institutions. They are all growths which have slowly proceeded out of matter or mind, which have been wrought out by forces of intelligence, competent in time for almost any achievement, but which can really achieve only by persistent struggle and repeated experiment, and' sometimes only on a basis of mere conjecture.

When an institution has passed through its form ative period, has become well rooted and has made proof of its usefulness, it is worth while to begin its history. The quarter-century turn made by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute during the past year has presented the opportunity, which I have been requested to embrace, to plant a milestone that may be to others who may walk this way hereafter, both a mark of progress and a memento of its beginnings. But this cannot be most suitably done Without a brief survey of the similar work that pre ceded the establishment of this Institute and that has been done elsewhere in the same time.
