Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from College and Commonwealth: And Other Educational, Papers and Addresses
Thomas Hobbes, when he wrote his Levia than, divided it into four parts - the first part, Of Man, the second part, Of Common wealth, the third part, Of Christian Common wealth, the fourth part, Of the Kingdom of Darkness. They would make four excellent sub heads for the inaugural discourse Of a college president. Time will not permit me, however, to begin as Hobbes began, by discussing the thoughts of man first singly and then in train, and, as I do not wish these remarks to grow into a Leviathan, I shall not attempt to discuss either the Chris tian Commonwealth or the Kingdom Of Dark ness. I shall speak only of common wealth and Of that very important item Of our common wealth and common life, the American college.
