Inhaltsangabe

A true university for all learning, not just titles. This address argues for a complete system of higher instruction that blends colleges, universities, and theological study into one cohesive plan. It stresses earning real mastery, not merely collecting honorary degrees, and calls for thoughtful reform aligned with public good.

This edition presents a practical vision of higher education in which the state, private endowment, and academic standards work together. It defends a robust Faculty of Theology within a comprehensive University and outlines how degrees should be earned through rigorous, faculty-led examinations.

• Why a true University must unify colleges, faculties, and public schools into one system


• Why degrees should reflect real study and rigorous examinations, not mere attendance


• The role of Theology as a core, organized, and sectioned faculty within the University


• How public funding and state leadership can support accessible, high-quality instruction

Ideal for readers of history, education policy, and the evolution of American higher learning, this book offers a clear look at early ideas about universal education and institutional reform.
