OUR COLLEGES.
Itctfh or lafojctte College, at Easton,
Pennsylvania Its Else, Pro
gress, and Munificent
Endowment.
We resume our sketches of the lending Col
leges of the United States, confining ourselves
to-day to an institution in which the people of
Philadelphia are as much interested as if it
were located in our very midst.
Lafayette College,
located at F.aRton, Ta was chartered under the
ikdmiDlftratlon ot Governor SUultze, March 9,
1&26. Tbo first meeting f the citizens of Kaston
celled "to consider the propriety of establiHhinjr
a college In the borough" was held December
27 1824, and a committee, of which the Hon.
Jo'el Jodcb, late of this city, was chairman, was
appointed to drait a memorial to the Legislature
tut the charter.
It was about this time that the Marquis de
Laajette visited America, receiving everywhere
a national ovation, and the College was named
in his honor. It was at first Intended that mili
tary tactics should occupy a large place In the
instructions of the College, the patriotic citizens
naviDg at their preliminary meeting "Mesolned,
that a Ireeman's arm can best defend a free
man's home, aud that next to the education of
our youth iu general science and literature, the
acquaintance of military science and the know
ledge of military tactics is a freeman's dary."
Accordingly it was provided in the cuartor
that the College should be furnished by the
State with arms and military equipments, and,
for the purpose of carrying out the plan, the
origiual corporators were partly composed of
military men. amongthe moot eminent of whom
were Colonel Johu Hare Powel and General
Bobert Patterson, both ol this city.
This military character of the college was,
however, soon abandoned; but it is interesting
to know that when the emereeucy of the late
Eehellion demanded "the freemoD's- arm to
derend a freeman's home," the alumni and
students of Lafayette College prouiptly answered
the rail. In the addresB of Major Lee, de
livered at the last Commencement before the
Alumni, and commemorative of the part taken by
the students of the College in the late war for the
Union, it is Btated that over 26 per cent, of the
regular graduates of the College, who had not
yet pas?ed the military age, served in the Union
army. Of the thirty clashes which had then
graduated, every one was represented on the
Toll of honor. The classes of 1855 and 18C0 sent
one-lull of their graduating number to the war;
the classes ol lf59 aud 1861 more than half.
When General Lee invaded Pennsylvania in
1863, so general was the patriotic exodus of the
students in answer to the call for emergency
men, that the Commencement exercises of that
year were wholly omitted. The orator goes on
to suy, with pardonable pride, "a carelul com
parison of tne rolls of honor of the different
colleges, as tar as they could be obtained, places
Laiayette in this respect in the van of all. The
average percentage of the New Kngland colleges
is about 23 per cent., Yale leadintr them with 25.
The statistic trom the colleges ot the Middle
States show a smaller figure, probably not reacn
ing 20 per cent "
This is the more noticeable as the class of
students penerully attracted to Lafayette have
been those whose subsequent occupation has
led them furthest from the scenes ot war. It
was stated a few year since, iu a report to the
By nod of Philadelphia, that so large a propor
tion of the graduates of LaiayeU3 College as
one-half were ministers of the Gospel.
Another noticeable feature in the curriculum
ol Lalavette, aud which its early liiftory recalls
to our notlcH. is the attention paid to the study
of the English language, not merely in the de-
Jiartments ot belles lettres, rhetoric, aud Eng
lish literature, but in the department of lau
guaeeilsell: placing it upon the level of the
Greek and Latin as a philological study. In
their memorial to the Legislature for a charter
(a printed copy of which ban been furnished us)
the Committee say: "The language mot neg
lected iu our seminaries of learning is the Ene
lisb. It is, we think, one of me tollies of the
learned to expend time aud toil and mouey in
the minute investigation of the languages of
other times and other people at the exoense ot
omitting the equally curious aud more useful
investigation ot their own. The Anglo-Saxon
and the German ought long since to have
been made a part of the education
ot our youth." Ilence these languages were
early made prominent in the instructions of the
wards President of Marshall College, having
Been appointed, m lBJd, to tne separate Profes
sorshiD of the German Language aud Literature.
And it may be remarked here that in 1857 the
Trustees of the College established a distiuct de-
fiartmeut tor tne pinioioeicai study ot the Hug
isb. the firtt ever established in this country.
but which has since been properly imitated by
- many oi our leaning conege?. ur. jjiernau in
his inaugural address (1858) savs: "We do not.
then, substitute English for Latin and Greek; but
rather pursue (m the classical course) the
mutual aud co-ordinate study of all three for
the better understanding of the whole. We
expect more knowledge of Latin hnd Greek from
our ten terms of ancient languages plus two ot
English, than from the twelve of the a'icient.
The part is found greater than t he whole, as in
any other matters." And this view s'.ris
Ingly corresponds with thut presented
bv the comtuitteeso early a9 1824. While urerlus in
the memorial the introduction of the study of
feneltsn ana otner modern lauguages, and sllll in
sisting ur on keeping up the standard of Latin and
Greek, they say: "Lest we should be thought
to prescribe a course impracticable within a
reasonable time, we will add that the period
usually allotted to tne Lutm and Greek merely
would be, under a proper method of instruction.
amply svflicieiU fur tlie acipxiaition of all we hate
mnutoiua." as tuts department ot UuglisU lan
euaee and philology has alreadv won for the
College such high distinction, aud is iu itself so
important, we add a lew extracts from the last
catalogue of the College:
"The English langunge U studied in the same
way as the Latin and the Greek. Ah English
classic, Milton's 'Paradise Lost,' tor example,
Is studied just as the most tki.lul professors of
Greek teach the 'Iliad' of llotner. The text is
minutely analyzed, the idioms explored, and
synonyms weighed; the mythology, bioeraphy,
history, metaphysics, tueolog), geograpny, are
all looked up; und whatever else is necessary,
that every allusion may be comprehended. The
character of the author.andhisliieaud tiuies.are
also studied, since these are necessary to acorn
prehension of bis work und his speee u ; and com
parison is continually made with the language of
other great English authors, and ot the Eughsh
Bible; so that the relation of each author to
Euglith literature aud the English race may be
carefully examined. The vhetorlcal laws of
English composition, and the principles of epic
and dramatic art, are nnplied to Milton, Shake
BDeare and other English classics, line by
line- and an attempt Is made to corapreheud
the particular beauties, and appreheud the
ceneral plan of the great representative works
f English literature. The text is also made

guage; the origin and history of recurring:
word? the laws bv which words grow up from
their root in our iBneuaj-e. to laws by which
changes from one languass to another are gov
iraed, are stamped on the mind by contiuua
iteration; and an attempt is made to ground al
thoA ftc s and laws In Uws ot mind an; ot tu
Anglo Saxon, German, and French (regular
tudles in both the clinic aud sdeut.de courts)

THE DAILY KVEfrlNCx; ' TELEGRAPitPniLADELPnU, SATURDAY,
and the flrxt clapcs of the Oollese were nrx
nized in an huml.lo building, still remaining,
though in a dilapidated condition, on trie
southern bank of the Lehigh. As tup Prenjlont
bad been connected with a manual labor scuooi
at Gcrnmntown, this feature was engrafted oil the
new enterprise, but it was not found to answer
well, and was soon abandoned. In WM i bmj
ellt-ible site was procured on the noble range of
hills to the north of the borough, and on the
4lh of July of that year the corner-stone of the
main college building was laid. All busineps Iu
town was suspended; there was an Imposing
military and civil displav; an address upon the
bill by Kev. Pr. B. C Wolf, and an oration in
theOVrmon Kef ormed Church by Hon. Joseph
rc. ino-praofl. The exercises wero Dresicli'rt over
bv the late Judge J. M. Porter, for raunv vetrs '
President oi tue uoaru, ana one or tne earliest
as well as most earnest lriends of the institution.
Amone tho professors at this early stngo was
Snmuel Gioss. M. P., now Prolessorof Suruery
in Jefferson Medical College in this city, and the
claws contained many men who linvc since
rlfcn to eminence In the busy worl 1. among
them the orator before the societies lor tho pre
sent yi ar, the Hon. James Morrison Hams, of
Ualtimore, and hi no less distinguished fellow
lownsman, John W. Garrett, Eq., Presidt-otof
the Ualtimore and Ohio Huilroad. The Hou. N.
H. Smithers, of Delaware, was in the first clds
that graduated, and among his fe11ow-tudents
was ex-Governor Ramsay, of Minnesota, now
United States Senator from that btate.
At the time the College went into operation
there was in Pennsylvania, east of the moun
tains, but one chartered college (the University
in this city) in exigence. Dickinson College,
at Carlisle, having been closed, by reason ot
financial embanaHsnient, in 1831. The uew
College, however, was obliged to struggle louar
and painfully beiore it became known an I ap
predated, and hid it not been lor the nutiring
exertion and self-sacrifice of Dr. Junkiu and
Judge Porter, the euterpri&e would have been
given up.
In 1841 Dr. Junkiu accepted the Presidency of
Miami University, but returned iu 1841' to
resume the Presidency ol Lafayette, which posi
tior he acain resigned in 1848, having accepted
the Presidency of Washington College, Va. It
was while residing at Lexington that one of his
daughters married a plain, unpretending Vir
ginia geuileman, who afterwards became the
lumous Stonewall Jackson. Dr. Junkin's patri
otic resistance to the Rebellion is well knowu
to most of our reauer; but the following In
cident is in such noble contrast with the
spirit exhibited by so many Northern men who
happened to be South when the Rebellion broke
out, that It deserves special mention:
On the 17th ot April, 1861, the students sur
mounted the statue of Washington with a
disunion flag. The Doctor Immediately
ordered it down; but finding it still there
when the Seniors came in to recite, he promptly
dismissed the class with the remark: "Weil
then, gentlemen, as you have pnt it there in
express opposition to my order, 1 am under the
necessity ot telliug you that I have never been
lidden over rough-shod inthatstyla, and I never
will be. I never will hear a recitation or deliver
a ttcture under a tlebetflag." In the eveuing of
the same day, the Facility having voted to allow
the Rebel flag to remain, he resigned the Presi
dency of the College. "Thus," says he, in the
published account of this transaction, "within
twenty-four hours from the time I was informed
that my colleagues bad determined to
permit the secession flag to wave over
the head of Washington, mv connection with the
College he had so nobly endowed ceased forever.
I saw plainly that if I remained, absolute silence
or a voice in favor ot secession must be the
price or my personal safety. This price was too
great tor me to pav. It would bankrupt my
seit-rcspect and pollute my conscience. The
only alternative was liighc;" and the brave old
man's course throughout the whole Rebellion
was as uncompromising as at the start. The
rresiaeiicy oi vvasnineton college is now occu
pied, as our readers are aware, by that
uiBtinguiPhed Kebel cnlef, General Robert E.
iee, wnue ir. junkin nas returned to Latayette
College, his first love, and for which the toil and
Etreugth of his earlier years were spent. He is
now Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy,
and we doubt uot that the students, under his
able instructions, will ever reect and abhor the
pernicious Southern doctrine of ultra State
RlfThtS.
The second President of Lafayette College,
from 1841 to 1844 (during Dr. Junkin's absence),
was Rev. John W. Yeomans, D. D. He was a
lipe ECholar and a man of rare abilities, espe
cially in his favorite department of metaphysics,
lie bad the honor of being elected Moderator of
the O. S. General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Cnurcb, which met in Rochester in 18G0. After
his resignation of the Presidency, la 1844, he
became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
in Danville, where he died in 1HC3.
Upon the second resignation of Dr. Junkin in
1848, the Presidency was offered to Rev. Dr.
Nassau, the Vice-President of the College and
Professor of Ancient Languages, but to the great
regret of all the friends ot the College, he was
never inauguiated, and soon after resigned from
the Faculty.
It was at this juncture that the Presbyterian
Synod of Philadelphia formally adopted the
College. It was still to remain open to students
ot all religious denominations, but the charter
was amended so as to allow the Synod to nomi
nate all the Trustees and Proiessors, and
through annual committees to exercise a gene
ral supervision over the atfairs of the College.
This was felt to be necessary 1o give efficiency
to the icstitution, and the Presbyterians more
readily united in the project, as all the other
leading denominations bad established collezes
iu thu section of the State, while there were
none under the control of any branch of the
Presbyterian Church. Rev. D. V. MeLaan. D.D.,
was elec ted by the Synod President of the Col
lege, and a vigorous, etfort was made to raisi- a
pormanent cndownieut of $100,000, principally
by the sale of scholarships.
Dr. McLean was succeeded in 1857 by Rev.
George W. McPhail. D. D. It was during his
administration that the Southern Rebellion was
commenced, the inlluence ot whit a was felt so
severely by many ot the Northern colleges, as
seen in the very large reduction of the number
ot students In them all. So many of the students
at Lafayette enlisted in the arruv. and the Dres-
sure ot the times so much diminished the num
ber of new students, that it seemed at one time
that the classes of the College would be dis
continued. Dr. McPbuil resigned in 1803, and
a meeting of the Board of Trustee?, in Sep
tember of that year, was called "to consider
the propriety ot suspending operations under
increasing embarrassments," as tue entire reve
nue of the Colleae, lioiu all sources, amouuted to
but little over $AU00. The members of the Synod,
and other lneuds of the College, would not,
however, consent to this; and in October the
Rev. W. C. Cattell, D. P., than pastor of the
Second l'resbytei iau Church at Harrisburg,
but formerly Professor of Latin aud Greek in the
College, vas elected President, und a new effort
was loautruratcd to com pie te the endowmeut:

successful bey oud the most sanguine expecta
tions ol the irieiifts of tne College'. And as the
main object of the e articles is to show what has
been doue tor our educational institutions, aud
thus to eucouiagu our people to coutiuue this
grand und benencent work, we will reproduce
soiuoot tua tacts iu ihis extraordinary move-,
ment, almost unparalleled in the history of aay
College iu tne country.
And fiist; as to the new buildings. Before
the endonkiveiit -wav c ompleted, lha corner
stones oi me Astronomical Observatory and of
the Jenks Cuemical Hall wer laid the former
iu 18C4, ti.e hitter m 18G5. Tho Observatory
consists oi a toer un i two transit rooms, with
a lecture room aitaohed. It in fitted up with
a revolving dome and telescope, a transit in
strument, und other apparatus tor tho observa
tion of a.-iiDDoniifal ittct and for the thorough
ttudy ol astronomy. H i built of dressed
Btouo, aud tne whole is the munificent gift ot
proteesor Tradl Green, I.L.D., whose connec
tion with the College as Professor of Chemistry
dates from 137. , ,
The Jeuks Chemical Hall was built of the
a me material. The main hall, for lectures, Is
0 by CO feet, while ia iiout two stories are occu
pied with Lnbonitorv rooms, fitted up with all
ihc mortem apuliances for operation iu inor
ganic and oreauic chemistry, quantitative and
qualitative analysis, etc. The third story rooms,
ouo ot which is ovr the mam lecture hall, aud
of the same s re, are appropriated to the
Museums and Cabinets. These are already very
valuable, und when completed will thoroueb.lv
illustrate all the departments of Natural Science,
especially Mineralocy and Lltholoty, Geology
and Palienitology, Botany and Zoolojry. The
entire cosi of this magtiiacent structure has
beeu defrayed bv Barton U. Jenks, Esq.. of this
city, and it will remain a monument to his
honor as long as the noble hills noon which It
Is built shall last. In this connection we may
mention that the department ol Chemistry,
which is destined in this College to take such a
hieh rank, was further advanced during the
same vear bv fie endowment of the Proiessot
shln. 'Philadelphia 1 ns the honor of furnishing
alho this noble aud generous individual, and we
write with pride the name of Mr. William
Ada qi sou.
Besides the building to which we have re
ferren, the citlens of Kaston, during the past
year, subscribed $20,000, with which it is do
signed to complete the wing (now in process of
erection) of the main college building, princi
pally 'or the use ot the engineering department,
and which is to contain halls tor lectures and
recitations, as well as rooms for the collections
which are iunkinz of models aud drawings,
tools, machines, and structures instructive to
the euuiueer and architect. The Synod also
passed! resolution at its last meeting to build a
new chnpil, and the two literary societies
(Washington and Franklin) have appointed
committees to secure the erection of handsome
halls. In addition to the public buildings there
are now seven handsome resiliences for tne pro
lessors; so that the grounds of tho College, em
bracing about forty acres, and crowui'ig the
magnificent lulls that command a view of the
valleys of the Lehigh and Delaware, unsur
passed in beauty and grandeur, will boou he
doited with elegunt and tasteml edifices.
Ot the petieral College endowment ($100,000)
raised during the past year, a laree part was
contributed by citizens of Philadelphia, aud we
take pleasure iu mentioning1 some of the most
generous donors whose names appear in the
subpcription list: Alexander Whiildin, $5000;
Morris Patterson and G. W. Fuhuestock, caoh
$0(IO; G. S. Benson, $1500; Charles Macalesler,
A. (!. Cattell & Co., T. A. Scott, H. J. Lombaert,
Jay Cooke & Co., W. A. Ingham, A. Martien,
Joseph Patterson, each $1000. Ol other Pcnn
sylvuuians, not including the citizens of Easton,
the most liberal contributors were Joseph H.
Scrnnton and Thomas Beaver, each $5000; John
A. Gamble, John Curweu, A. A. Douglass,
Thomas Atherton, David Stewart, George F.
Wiggin, each $1000. From New Jersey, the
subscription shows the names of Johu 1. Blair,
$S(J00; seldcn T. Scrunton und B. G. Clarke,
each 12500. Very tew subscribers were found
in New York; but W. E. Dodge, with his Hsual
liberality, gave $5000.
But we have not yet mentioned tho noblest
patron of the College; one to whom the grea'.est
honor belongs, and indeed to whose "munifi
cence the College really owes its present great
profpenty. A correspondent of the Easton
Mxprrss, in describing the principal personages
at President Catiell's levee, on lust Commence
ment evening, speaking ol a "central figure"
attracting the ultcntion and interest ot the
assembled guests, says: "He staud3 with
downcast eye and modest mien,
quietly talking to those nearest
to him; and so retiring aod unassuming 19 his
whole appearance and manner mat a careless
observer would hardly see iu him the self-made
man of iron will, untiring industry, keen native
shrew duces, and btoad grasp of mind, who has
added to his other honors the crowning one of
a priucely munificence, which has made the
name ot A. Pardee torever loved by all tue
friends of Lafayette, and honored by the friends
of liberal education throughout the land."
Mr. Pardee's first act was to give $20,000, In
August, 18U4. to endow the ctiair of mathema
tics. This, we believe, was the first chair iu any
Pennsylvania College endowed by any one per
son. This noole donation was loll owed soon
after by a gift ot $100,000, to endow, in the Col
lege, a sciektific couksh parallel with the
OLAssucAt.; and here Li.layette College again has
the honor ot setting a worthy example, at least
to her sister Colleges iu this State.
This was the first endowment of a scientific
course iu any regular classical college in Penn
sylvania, and it was designed for the coustautly
increasing number ol students who wish to
study the natural sciences, mathematics modern
languages and literature, history, rhetoric, logic,
and mental and moral philosophy, as thoroughly
as they are studied in our best colleges, aud
who would be glud to enjoy the cultivation and
learned habits and associations of college life,
but who will not study Gieek aud Latin.
In addition to this 'general scientific course,
which is designed to lay a substantial Oasis of
knowledge and scholarly culture, optional
studies are arranged tor the Senior year and ior
a post graduate course,,eo that tho students may,
if they choose, devote' themselves to studies
essentially practical aud technical, viz.: Engi
neering, civil, topographical, and mechanical;
mining and metallurgy, architecture and the
appliejyipn ol chemistry to agriculture and the
arts. ?1hte will also be afforded an opportunity
for the special study of trade and commerce, of
modern languuges and philology, and of the
history aud institutions of our own country.
At the time this handsome donation was
made by Mr. Pardee, we made it the topic of an
extended editorial article, and we cau only re
peat what we said then: "For this munificent
gift he deserves, and will receive, the eratuude
ot an enlightened public. All men will rejoice
that wealtn has been placed by Providence in
the bauds of oue who knows so well ho to
employ it. In the 'Novum Organ urn' the
genius of Bacon has dooo no more' for the 'ad
vancement of learning' thau the noble consecra
tion ot wealth to educational purposes by such
men, in our day, as Mr. Purdee."
The result oi the noble efforts of Mr. Pardee
and the other distinguished gentlemen who are
associated with himlu this good entcreprise, Is
seen in the lncreate of students at the opening
of the present College year. While tho gradu
ating class, which entered lour ytars ago, num
bers only eleven, the Freshman Class, which
entered last fall, numbers fortv-two. The
Faculty now contains tUteen prolessors and to
tutors. Truly the few survivors among the
venerable men who, more than forty years ago,
originated the College, may well regard their
agency in this matter a the crowning honor of
their lives. The toil of years is at last re
warded. Eastouisuow one of the recognizod
centres of the literary and scientific world, and
may Mr. Pardee and the other munificent
patrons of the institution long live to enjoy
their benefactions, and to eee many classes of
young men piepared for eularged usefulness
under the broad and eenerou culture of the
College they have so nobly endowed.
