Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work and Aims of the University of Rochester: An Address Delivered on Commencement Day, June 28, 1876 I do no more than justice to Rochester and to our beautiful Western New York, when I say that our location is inferior to that of no institution in our land. The population of our rural city has doubled since the University was founded. We are surrounded by a rich farming region, and by flourishing towns and villages, filled with such a population as furnishes the largest percentage of college students of the best character. We are at the gateway of the West. Our facilities for communication with all parts of our country, are abundant. Our city is healthy; its population, as a whole, cultivated and moral. It combines with singu lar felicity, most of the advantages of a country and city location. We have, on our part, brought within the reach of the great body of our citizens, the Opportunity of giving their sons a liberal education at a slight expense. We have also given from the funds of the University, free tuition to three pupils from each graduating class in the High School as prizes for excellence in scholarship - thus putting a liberal education within the reach of many who could not otherwise attain it.
