Excerpt from Report of the Commission of Inquiry: Appointed for Special Examination of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts by Resolution of the General Assembly, Passed May 26, 1908; Presented to the General Assembly April 16, 1909
In assuming the duties assigned it by the General Assembly, the Commission realized that its task was important and difficult, but it soon found that it had undertaken a work more complex and exten sive than could have been anticipated. It began the examination of one Institution and found itself involved in a study of a national system of fifty colleges and universities. Its members began their work with a limited knowledge of this class of institutions and with minds free from prejudice and preconceived judgments. They have performed their work with unanimity in their purpose to ascertain exact facts and form true judgments from those facts. They have sought to eliminate personal Opinion, so far as possible, and to seek conclusions - produced or justified by' fact. For these reasons, the Com mission is able to present a report which is absolutely unanimous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
