Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book, written by a group of former professors at New York University, candidly presents their reasons for resigning their positions. Published in 1833, the text begins by depicting the founders' vision of the university as an institution on par with the great educational establishments in Europe. However, the authors argue that the school's first chancellor, the Reverend Dr. Mathews, consistently fell short of the mark. Mathews exhibited a lack of leadership and administrative skill, which stalled much-needed reforms and negatively impacted discipline. The inefficiencies in the administration caused a breakdown in collegiality and trust among the faculty. The book also points out how the council overseeing the university largely ratified Mathews's decisions without proper due diligence. The authors maintain that the university's success was stifled by the chancellor's inadequacy, and that their resignations were necessary to preserve the integrity of the institution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Excerpt from An Exposition of the Reasons for the Resignation of Some of the Professors in the University of the City of New York

Shortly after, this occurrence was related to the Faculty in the pre. Sence of Dr. Mathews. We will, to do justice to him, state the expla nation which he then gave of his agency in the. Transaction to which it has reference, with all the strength, too, which he subsequently attempted to give to it before the committee of the Council. He said that he did not appoint the young men to prepare the Speeches that have been mentioned, and did not, therefore, assign; to them of his own motion the honours of the institution; that he only told A, ou are a good Latin scholar, and if we shall have a public commencement, you will very probably speak the Latin Salutatory, and to B, that he would very probably have the Valedictory assigned to him, and to the candidates generally, that there was no harm in their getting ready for a com. Mencement if there should be one; and that inasmuch as it had been mentioned, at some' meeting of the Faculty, as a proper thing, even though no commencement should take place, for each of the young men, whom it should be resolved to recommend to the Council for de grees, to prepare an essay, as an exercise to take the place of his com, mencement speech, - he thought there was no harm in setting the young men to work in the preparation of their speeches, the more especially as he also thought the time allowed them for that purpose might otherwise be rather short. Let the reader, and especially the reader who is acquainted with the usages of colleges and universities, decide on the merits of the excuses rendered.
