About this book
Colleges in America, by John Marshall Barker, Ph. D., carries an introduction by Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, LL. D., President of the University of Wooster. The note says the author aims to give the reader a brief survey of the growth, functions, and work of the American Colleges.
The text says that the first Christian catechetical school was established at Alexandria in 181 A. D., and that Benedict founded a monastery on Monte Cassino in 428 A. D. The text says that the substantive element in a liberal education is found in the study of the natural and moral sciences, and that a general study of science should be required. Citing Dr. Dorchester, the text says that even Harvard, the oldest college in the United States, that wishes to be understood as non-denominational, has been, for more than half a century, under the direction of a Board of Fellows, all of whom have been Unitarians, except one elected within a few years.
