Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1883, describes the genesis of the Rose Polytechnic Institute, whose namesake benefactor sought to establish a school wherein knowledge could be imparted to young men who wished to pursue the practical application of sciences to industrial arts. The author traces the history of the institute's formation from the initial donation of land and endowment from Chauncey Rose to the appointment of its first faculty and the selection of its first students. The book contextualizes this founding within the broader history of technological education in America, examining how the institute became a pioneer in bridging the gap between theoretical scientific knowledge and its practical application. The narrative is especially rich in detail regarding the author's personal experiences and observations as one of the institute's founders and its first president. Through painstaking research and firsthand accounts, this book offers a unique glimpse into the origins of a significant American educational institution and sheds light on the transformative power of philanthropy in shaping the landscape of higher education.
