Synopsis

Proceedings Of The. Convocation. Proceedings Of The Fourth Anniversary Convocation Of The State Of New York, held in Albany in August 1867, are compiled in this volume. This edition reproduces the minutes of the Convocation sessions, together with the numerous papers and addresses presented there, including topics on mathematics, philosophy, Latin and other classical studies, educational economy, and the education of girls. The work also contains reports on uniform courses of study for academies and colleges, discussions on endowments, and a necrology of members. Arranged as a contemporaneous record of the proceedings, the book offers valuable insight into mid-19th-century educational theory, state-supported instruction, and the organization of higher education in New York. It is of interest to historians of education and researchers studying the development of university pedagogy in the United States.
