XNASMUCH as the obtaining of salvation tlirougli Jesus Christ our Lord, to the glory of the eternal God, is the chief object claims which the attention of man ; and considering, that in the attainment of this object the dispensation of the Gospel is principally instrumental it is manifestly of the highest importance, that the best means be used to insure the faithful preaching of the Gospel, and the pure administration of ail its ordinances. With this view, therefore, institutions for the education of youth intended for the holy ministry, have been esta- blished in all Christian countries, and have been found, by long experience, most eminently conducive to the prosperity of the Church, Hence the founders of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, did, from its very origin, exert themselves with peculiar zeal to establish and endow colleges, academies, and schools, for the education of youth for the Gospel minis- try. So rapid, however, has been the extension of this Church, and so disproportionate, of late, has been the number of ministers educated, to the call which has been made for ndnisterial service, that some additional and vigorous eiTorts to increase the supply are loudly and aflectingiy demanded.

  • A Philadelphia Editor Looks at Latin America, 1823-1834
    A PHILADELPHIA EDITOR LOOKS AT LATIN AMERICA, 1823-1834 BY J. ORIN OLIPHANT Bucknell University D URING twelve eventful years of the nineteenth century- D from January, 1823, through December, 1834-Presbyterians in the United States could have read, and certainly hundreds of them did read, in the monthly issues of their leading denomina- tional "'miscellany," pertinent comments on affairs in many parts of the world. The first number of the Christian Advocate, the name by which this magazine was known, appeared in Philadelphia in January, 1823, under the editorship of Dr. Ashbel Green, lately president of the College of New Jersey. Dr. Green was no stranger in the City of Brotherly Love. In fact, after an absence of several years, he had come home to the city in which he had achieved professional prominence. A son of Jacob Green, a Presbyterian minister, he was born in Hanover, New Jersey, on July 6, 1762. After his graduation by the College of New Jersey, in 1783, he taught for a while in that institution and also studied theology there under the guidance of President John Witherspoon. He was ordained and installed as pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia in 1787, and he continued in service to this church for twenty-five years, from 1793 as its principal minis- ter. From 1792 to 1800 he was one of the chaplains to the Con- gress of the United States. During his pastorate in Philadelphia, he rose to prominence as an executive in the expanding Presby- terian Church, and he took a prominent part in the growing mis- sionary movement in the United States.

Ithad just seventy students, reduced from a recent one hundred twenty. Princeton had about reached its "Nadir"1 under his predecessor, Ashbel Green. This was the period of "secularization" in the colleges along the eastern seaboard. There were many problems of transition to be met and Princeton was slow to meet them.— There were rebellions and serious rioting among the students, discipline and dismissals from the administration. The decline in numbers had become constant and could not be stemmed quickly. It was partly accounted for by the founding of colleges in the south but this "could not explain why at the opening of the academic year, coach after coach rolled through Princeton laden with youths from Virginia, South Carolina or Georgia, on their way to Yale or Harvard/' 2 The University of Virginia had opened with attractive breadth and leniency. Ashbel Green had been called to the presidency in 1812, to re- form the College of New Jersey and to withstand the modern tend- ency towards secularization. He had been launched auspiciously on his lifework, as Baccalaureate speaker of the class of 1783, with the awe-inspiring privilege of praising General Washington, present in the audience, as the Continental Congress was meeting in Nassau Hall.3 Green was a good man and a revered minister but he tried to hold the college to the customs of the great days of John Wither- spoon and failed to meet the challenge of his own decade.

    University of Nevada, Reno Redefining the Collegiate Way: The Rise of State Colleges and the Expanding Conception of the College Experience, 1890-1930 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Timothy P. Smith Dr. C. Elizabeth Raymond/Dissertation Advisor May, 2017 Copyright by Timothy P. Smith 2017 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by TIMOTHY P. SMITH entitled Redefining the Collegiate Way: The Rise of State Colleges and the Expanding Conception of the College Experience, 1890-1930 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Dennis Dworkin, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Catherine Chaput, Ph.D., Committee Member Rita Laden, Ed.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i Abstract For over two hundred years, the college experience in the United States was defined by the traditions of historic eastern college, such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This model of the college experience came to be seen as elite, private, and eastern. Representations of college life in popular novels reflected this idea and served to subtly reinforce the position of these colleges as the torchbearers for American higher education. However, as public higher education proliferated in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the dominance of such a narrative began to be challenged. With the passage of the Morrill Land–Grant College Act in 1862, the college experience was now open to reinterpretation because of the markedly different missions of state colleges as well as the new types of students who attended them.

  • Maclean House of Princeton University M❦ a National Historic Landmark ❦
    MACLEAN HOUSE of Princeton University M❦ A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK ❦ WILLIAM K. SELDEN Front cover: Henry Dawkins created the first rendering of Nassau Hall for the New American Magazine in 1760. In the foreground is the President’s House, now Maclean House. (Courtesy of the Princeton University Archives.) Above: Names etched in one of the glass window panes of Maclean House. FOREWORD As this beautiful booklet by famed Princeton historian William K. Selden illustrates, John Maclean House has been the home of 10 Princeton presidents, seven deans of the faculty, and countless numbers of Princeton alumni who have learned, since 1968, to call Maclean House their “home away from home” when they return to the Princeton University campus. Treasured for its historic, timeless interior and beautiful gardens, Maclean House occupies an important place in Princeton’s history. It has weathered occupation by both British and American troops during the Revolution, and has entertained multitudes of students, faculty members, alumni, dignitaries, and even U. S. presidents, over the 1 years. From its perch on the front lawn of the campus it has been on hand to witness the graduation of generations of Princetonians, both from the undergraduate classes and the Graduate School. Today, Maclean House functions as the home of the Alumni Association of Princeton University, first established by President John Maclean in 1826 to “promote the interests of the College and the friendly intercourse of its graduates.” As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the construction of Maclean House, I would like to thank Bill for capturing its essence in his words and pictures.

Fox ’39, one of the original coauthors of this booklet, often expressed this sentiment about his beloved alma mater’s practices . Most assuredly, he would be pleased with the reissue of this history of Princeton’s presidents, which has been revised and expanded to include the presidential tenures into the 21st century . Fox’s original intent was not to write the definitive history of each president’s term at the University’s helm, but to remember the challenges they faced and highlight their defining moments . As their service now spans four centuries, this booklet reminds us that Princeton’s virtue is the accumulation of many individual efforts . Dan Linke University Archivist 3 Jonathan Dickinson 1747 onathan Dickinson was the leader of the little group that, in his J words, “first concocted the plan and foundation of the College ”. After graduating from the Collegiate School of Connecticut (later known as Yale University), Dickinson studied theology and became minister of the Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth, New Jersey .
