A History Of Williams College is a book written by Calvin Durfee in 1860. The book provides a comprehensive account of the founding and early years of Williams College, a private liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Durfee begins by discussing the founding of the college in 1793 and the early struggles it faced in establishing itself as a reputable institution of higher learning. He then goes on to detail the growth and development of the college over the next several decades, including the construction of new buildings, the expansion of the curriculum, and the increasing number of students and faculty.Throughout the book, Durfee also provides insight into the social and cultural context of the time, including the role of religion in education, the influence of the Enlightenment, and the impact of the American Revolution on higher education in the United States.Overall, A History Of Williams College is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American higher education, as well as those interested in the specific history of Williams College itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
