Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Franklin and Marshall College: Franklin College, 1787 1853; Marshall College, 1836 1853; Franklin and Marshall College, 1853 1903 In response to a request of the Alumni Association of Franklin and Marshall College the author has prepared the following pages. It seems strange that this work was not done many years ago, when the necessary material might have been more easily collected. Now that the historic renaissance has come upon us it is frequently in timated by the friends of the institution that the time for such a publication has fully come and that there must be no further delay. The preparation of this volume was directly suggested by the approaching Semi-centennial Celebration of the union of two colleges and of the consequent organization of Franklin and Marshall College, at Lancaster, Penn sylvania. For telling the story of the development of the educational movement which these institutions have represented this festival was regarded as a peculiarly auspicious occasion, and it was speedily determined that some one must write 'a book. Knowing that the task was accompanied by peculiar difficulties the present writer would have been well pleased if it had been assigned to another; but he was at last persuaded that he could not honorably decline an invitation which had been most courteously extended. In the earliest instructions of the Committee of Publi cation the author was reminded that he was expected to limit his studies to the history of the College, introducing that of the Theological Seminary at certain periods only.
