This address, 'On the Growth of American Colleges and the Present Tendency to the Study of Science,' was delivered by Daniel Coit Gilman at the dedication of Sibley College, Cornell University, on June 21, 1871. Gilman, a prominent figure in American higher education, explores the evolving landscape of colleges in the United States and the increasing emphasis on scientific studies. He reflects on the historical development of academic institutions and advocates for the integration of scientific disciplines into the curriculum. This text offers valuable insights into the educational philosophies and priorities of the late 19th century, shedding light on the formative years of modern American universities and the growing importance of scientific inquiry in shaping their academic mission. A compelling historical snapshot for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of higher learning.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
