Addresses Delivered At The Inauguration Of The Professors Of Middlebury College: March 18, 1839 by Solomon Stoddard. The volume collects inaugural addresses delivered at Middlebury College on March 18, 1839, presenting a program for liberal education and the duties of a public educator. Stoddard argues that education should balance the physical, intellectual, and moral faculties, emphasizing discipline, habit formation, and the cultivation of character alongside knowledge. He stresses thorough preparation, the value of classical studies and mathematics for mental discipline, and the necessity of high standards and competent teachers. The work also includes addresses by other professors, notably Adams, Twining, and Hough, advocating for chemistry, natural history, languages, and the sciences as essential components of a liberal curriculum, and urging the integration of religious instruction and moral formation. Overall, the collection reflects 19th-century debates on higher education, the aims of collegiate reform, and the role of science and religion in shaping educated citizens and public virtue.
