Our Public Schools were constantly developing fine intellect among the youth of our ]9.0 Recollections of people, but who from the want of opportunity or means, could not pursue their studies beyond the limits of Common School education ; and it was deemed advisable to create an Institution embra- cing numerous Foimdations or Scholarships on which such young men might be placed for the prosecution of a more finished education. Many also who were the sons of our able and wealthy citizens wished ...to prosecute their studies in the higher branches of Learning not usually taught in our Colleges, and for this purpose were obliged to resort to foreign countries. A University deserv- ing the name, if established in our own City, would furnish them with all the advantages they required in this respect without the necessity of going abroad. The Philosophy of Education, whether in our Common Schools or higher Sem- inaries of Learning, was thought to have more importance than had been usually attached to it, and we felt that a Chair devoted to it might be advantageously established.
