Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Origin and Growth of Carleton College: Northfield, Minn
In recognition of this timely and unprecedented donation to the exchequer of a western college, the trustees at a special meeting, unanimously voted to change its name, and affix to it that of its greatest benefactor. So, with the latter's consent, it was from this time forth known as Carleton College. That fifty thousand dollars, coming when, and coming as it did, set the struggling college at once on its feet, settled the fact that it was to live and prosper, and raised it immediately into such promise and prominence that other persons of wealth were ready to array themselves among its patrons.
