Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Delivered in Easton, Pa; August 18, 1841: On the Occasions of the Author's Inauguration as President of La Fayette College
The learned and valuable citizen under whose charge the institution commenced its operations, and who presided over it for ten years, has been removed to another sphere of action, where, we have every reason to hope, his labors in the cause of sound morals, sound religion, and sound education, will be crowned with abundant success. He has left among us the savor of a good name, and to his indefatigable and untiring industry, in a great measure, is the institution indebted for the success which has attended her infant efforts.
We believe that the times are propitious to the great work of education which we have in charge. The cause is steadily and rapidly progressing. The school master is emphatically abroad in our land. Public attention is fully alive to the sub jcet, and its course can never be arrested. It never retrogrades among a virtuous and energetic people.
