Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the inaugural address of Professor M.H. Buckham, upon assuming the presidency of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College in 1871. The author, a longtime faculty member and alumnus of the university, eloquently reflects on the institution's past and envisions its future, balancing tradition with innovation. The author believes that the university should remain true to its founding principles while adapting to the changing needs of society. He argues that a liberal education should not only cultivate intellectual curiosity but also prepare students for practical life. To this end, the university has introduced new courses in science and technology without sacrificing its commitment to the humanities. The author also advocates for the admission of women to the university, arguing that they deserve the same opportunities for higher education as men. He believes that this would not only benefit women but also the university as a whole. This book provides valuable insights into the history and philosophy of higher education in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of our educational institutions. The author's vision of a university that is both rigorous and accessible remains as relevant today as it was in 1871.
