Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Founders and Founding of Illinois College
The author of this booklet has long felt there were facts and features connected With the founding of Illi nois College worth preserving that have never been in print, and some published have not been emphasized as they should have been. He has aimed to take the reader back to those primitive days and let him see things as did an eye witness, and realize their bearing upon the College enterprise. Its beginning, its purpose, the di?i culties it had to encounter, are dwelt upon. Special at tention is called to the outside labor in laying broad and deep its foundations in the hearts of the people. These and other incidental and necessary features associated with the early life of the College are alluded to in order to give variety and impressiveness to the views attempted to be presented.
