HAMILTON COLLEGE;

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

On the day appointed by the Synod of New York, I had preached on the subject of Hamilton College and the Claims of "The Higher Christian Education," and taken up a subscription toward the perminent endowment of the College. In so doing, I had shown how, in earlier days, Presbyterians had been the leaders in building up and sustaining first-class colleges; and how now they were lagging behind, being far surpassed by the Baptists, the Methodists, and the Congregationalists of the land--the Methodists having thirty-seven colleges, the Baptists thirty-one, the Congregationalists twenty-six, and we Presbyterians only thirteen; while as to endowments and income, all these denominations were greatly in advance of our own.
