William Henry Crawford

The American College: a Series of Papers Setting Forth the Program, Achievements, Present Status, an William Henry Crawford

Thb chapters included in this yoliime comprise the papers read at a Conference on the American College held on the occasion of the celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the founding of Allegheny College. They were all specially prepared for this particular event. In fact, the entire programme of the conference was made out before anyone was asked to read a paper. Careful attention was given to selecting for a particular topic the man who could speak with authority on that topic. The book, therefore, is a new book, and presents the freshest and most comprehensive thought on the American college. In making up the list of subjects not much attention was given to the early history of the American college or to the peculiar conditions which favored its early development. Much attention, however, was given to the programme of the college, its curriculum, its present status in various parts of the country, and its probable future.
