Excerpt from Benjamin Peirce a Memorial Collection
Although brief, it contains many thoughts that will remain as permanent maxims. It gives in a convincing manner some indisputably correct opinions on the duties of the students, instructors, and administrative officers of a true university.
His kindnesses were experienced also by other students; and, whatever may be said of his failure to be instructive to those who could not comprehend his teaching, no one ever complained that he was severe upon those who failed to profit by it, while there are many to give hearty praise for his sympathy with them in their difficulties with their college work. He realized that a students career at college, especially where all studies are prescribed, is not necessarily an infallible sign of his success in later life, and kindly interceded with the faculty in behalf of many students who were unable to master their prescribed work.
It is therefore chiefly from a feeling of sincere gratitude to one of the noblest men that it has ever been my lot to meet, that I have issued this simple compilation.
