About this title

Synopsis

Discover the roots of an American college: a careful look at Trinity College’s early days and guiding principles.

This historical edition presents an address given in 1847 that frames the college’s mission, its relationship with church and state, and the enduring idea that education should combine liberal learning with moral and religious purpose. Read through sections on campus layout, libraries, governance, and the evolving philosophy that shaped the institution.

The text surveys the grounds and facilities that formed the student experience, from the fourteen-acre site and the library to equipment for science and the arts. It also traces the college’s organizational structure, academic terms, examinations, and the path to degrees. Embedded in the prose are reflections on the role of religion in education and the belief that genuine learning should elevate both mind and character.

Learn how Trinity College positioned itself as a guardian of both faith and knowledge.
Explore the historical views on liberal education, scholastic discipline, and the balance between theory and professional training.
See how founders and leaders tied university life to broader questions about society, governance, and education.
Understand the sequence of academic traditions, including calendar milestones, degree paths, and ceremonial practices.

Ideal for readers of American higher education history, religious studies, and 19th‑century institutional rhetoric, this volume offers a window into the aims and debates that shaped early colleges in New England.

Ideal for readers who want a grounded, era‑focused portrait of a college’s founding ethos and its long‑standing relationship with religion and learning.
