Twenty Years of Princeton College: Being Farewell Address is a book written by James McCosh, a Scottish philosopher and educator who served as the 11th President of Princeton University from 1868 to 1888. The book is a compilation of McCosh's farewell address to the students, faculty, and staff of Princeton University upon his retirement after twenty years of service.The book provides a detailed account of McCosh's tenure at Princeton, including his efforts to improve the academic standards of the university, expand its curriculum, and promote the values of liberal education. McCosh also reflects on his personal experiences at Princeton, including his interactions with students, faculty, and alumni, and his role in shaping the university's culture and traditions.Throughout the book, McCosh emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded education that combines intellectual rigor with moral and spiritual development. He also discusses the challenges facing higher education in the late 19th century, including the rise of vocational training and the need to balance practical skills with a broader understanding of the humanities and social sciences.Overall, Twenty Years of Princeton College: Being Farewell Address offers a unique perspective on the history of Princeton University and the evolution of American higher education in the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education, philosophy, and intellectual life in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
