Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This 1872 book recounts the inauguration of the Reverend Eliphalet Nott Potter as President of Union College. Nott Potter was the grandson of the college's former president and an active alumnus. The selection of Nott Potter was polarizing, as some questioned if an ecclesiastic was suited to the role of college president. Others noted that every president of Union College had been a minister, including his grandfather, and had led the institution to great success. The author argues that a quality president should study public speaking, referencing the example of Demosthenes, a renowned orator of Ancient Greece. The author stresses the importance of public speaking in the professions of law, politics, and ministry, arguing that spending hours rehearsing and delivering speeches would make a world of difference in persuading large groups of people to one's point of view. The book includes a report on the various departments within the university and the new courses being offered to students as well as the need for new buildings to support these new areas of study. The author discusses the need for patrons to help fund these improvements and the benefits that students would reap from these new programs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
