Synopsis

Proceedings by the University Convocation of the State of New York present the minutes and discussions from the Fourth Anniversary, held August 6–8, 1867, in Albany. The volume combines official Proceedings with scholarly papers on education, mathematics, philosophy, and classical studies, including Gerardus B. Docharty’s The Study of Mathematics; Miss M. E. Thalheimer’s The Education of Girls; Louis Jouin’s The Study of Philosophy; David Murray’s Educational Economy; N. W. Benedict’s The Study of Latin; Samuel G. Love’s Literary Exercises in Academies; Alden B. Whipple’s How to Read; Benjamin N. Martin’s The Classics in Education; and John V. L. Pruyn’s Voluntary Endowments of Colleges and Academies. It records the Convocation’s sessions, committees, resolutions, and addresses by Henry Barnard, U.S. Commissioner of Education, among others. The document also includes proposed curricula for female higher education, recommendations on uniform courses, discussions of the metric system, and proposals for endowment legislation, along with a necrology of members who died that year. Serving as a historical snapshot of mid-19th-century American higher education policy and practice, the Proceedings illuminate debates over curriculum, pedagogy, and funding that shaped the era.
