Book Overview
""Speech of Josiah Quincy, President of Harvard University: On the Minority Report of the Committee of Visitation Presented by George Bancroft (1845)"" is a historical document that recounts a speech given by Josiah Quincy, the president of Harvard University, in response to a report presented by George Bancroft. The report in question was the Minority Report of the Committee of Visitation, which discussed the state of Harvard University and recommended changes to its governance and curriculum. Quincy's speech defends the current state of the university and argues against the proposed changes, asserting that Harvard is already a successful institution with a strong curriculum and governance structure. The speech provides insight into the educational and political debates of the mid-19th century, as well as the history of Harvard University itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
