Excerpt from Addresses of Inauguration and Dedication: With Memorial Notices, a Historical Introduction and First Annual Catalogue
The scientific school known as the Rose Polytechnic Institute, was founded in 1874, by the munificence of the late Chauncey Rose, of Terre Haute. As the honored life of this most generous and public spirited gentleman drew near its close, among the many benefactions that suggested themselves as deserving objects of his liberality was a school in which young men might be thoroughly trained in the sciences applicable to the industrial arts. Careful study of the plans and methods of such schools and consultation with numerous experienced educators fixed this suggestion in his thoughts, and out of his deliberations grew the establishment whose first detailed and formal publication of its progress and purposes is set forth in the following pages.
Inviting the assistance of his trusted friends, Messrs. Josephus Collett, Firmin Nippert, Charles R. Peddle, Barnabas C. Hobbs, William A. Jones, Demas Deming, Ray G. Jenckes, Gen. Charles Cruft and Col. Wm. K. Edwards, he associated them with himself in a body corporate in conformity with an act of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, approved February 20th, 1867, and the amendments thereto, said act being entitled "An Act Concerning the Organization and Perpetuity of Voluntary Associations, and repealing an act entitled 'An Act Concerning the Organization of Voluntary Associations, and repealing former laws in reference thereto,' approved February 12, 1855, and repealing each act repealed by said act, and authorizing gifts and devises by will to be made to any corporation or purpose contemplated by this act."
On the 10th of September, 1874, articles of association were adopted, setting forth the objects of the corporation to be the establishment and maintenance, in the County of Vigo and State of Indiana, of an "institution for the intellectual and practical education of young men," designating the corporate name as "Terre Haute School of Industrial Science," and entrusting its administration to the corporators under the title of managers.

Paperback. Condición: 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.
