Omschrijving

The Story Of A Small College is a historical book written by Isaac Sharpless in 1918. The book details the founding and growth of Haverford College, a small liberal arts college located in Pennsylvania, USA. Throughout the book, Sharpless describes the various challenges and triumphs that the college faced during its early years, including financial struggles, faculty recruitment, and student enrollment. He also highlights the unique Quaker values and traditions that have shaped the college's culture and academic focus. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific period in the college's history. Sharpless provides a detailed account of the college's founding in 1833 by a group of Quaker businessmen and its subsequent growth in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He also discusses the college's curriculum, which emphasizes the humanities and the sciences, and its commitment to social justice and community service.Overall, The Story Of A Small College is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of American higher education or the Quaker tradition. Sharpless's writing style is clear and engaging, and his passion for the college and its mission shines through on every page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
