Synopsis
Excerpt from Alumni Anniversary of Columbia College, New York
But, out of this fountain of sweet waters there sometimes is found to eddy forth a bitter stream. Regrets spring up within the bosom for what time has robbed us of, and we look back to those happy days with somewhat the same sickness of heart, as the tossed mariner does towards the peaceful shore from which the tempest has driven him.

Alumni Anniversary of Columbia College, New York (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book presents an address delivered at the 1837 Alumni Anniversary of Columbia College in New York. The author, a professor of moral philosophy, reflects on his own educational experiences, observing that the spirit of competition fostered within his class was ultimately detrimental to the students' intellectual growth and personal development. He argues that the proper focus of education should not be on rivalry but on the cultivation of reason, virtue, and religion. The author also proposes the establishment of a lectureship at the college devoted specifically to the study of evidences for natural and revealed religion, asserting that such instruction is essential for the well-rounded education of young minds in a time when religious faith is increasingly challenged by scientific advancements. The book offers insights into the changing nature of education, the importance of spiritual and intellectual cultivation, and the enduring significance of religious belief.
