Description
Excerpt from The University of Vermont: Fifty Years Ago
The chapter composing this little vol ume was originally introduced as an epi sode into the personal reminiscences of the author to be accompanied bv a. Larger selection of sermons on miscellaneous subjects. A class of readers to whom the subject matter of this chapter, by reason of its reference to the university, may be of interest, would be less likely to read the autobiography of one of her hu''mblest graduates. Lhave.adopted the plan, there fore, of publishing by itself this tribute to the Faculty and Philosophy of the school in the time of my college life, to gether with a few discourses suggestive of the in?uence of the Burlington Philoso phy upon my own modes of thought in particular, and upon the settlement of theological questions in general. The appended discourses are written, conies sedly not in a kev note in harmony with the current theology fifty vears ago.
The distrust, however, to which the Spiritual philosophy gave rise then, in'' the Churches and among the clergy, has gradually abated, until doctrines which were then fifty years in advance of the age, are now accredit-cd by thoughtful Christians, as the natural outcome of the word of God as itis revealed in Scripture and in the souls of men, both of which are believed to be media of Divine com munication.
