Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches in Behalf of the University of Albany
We hold to a similar theory in regard to education; and that it is its true aim and best effect to raise up the low, the helpless and the down trodden - to lessen the inequalities that prevail in the intellectual culture and condition of the people - to remove or batter down the obstacles that retard the advancement of the sons of poverty and mis fortune, - and to place them side by side, on equal terms, and in fair and Open competition with the more favored sons of' Fortune.
