Excerpt from The Industrial Arts: Their Influence Upon Human Progress and Culture; An Address Delivered Before the Board of Agriculture, the Faculty and Students of the Michigan State Agricultural College
The object of the Institution, whose officers and students I have the honor to address this evening, in so far as it is specific and different from ordinary Colleges and Universities, is to promote a theoretical and practical knowledge of those sciences and arts which are more especially associated with Productive Industry. It has to do with the conditions and methods for the proper exertion of Labor: and teaches how Nature and Human Effort may be combined for the well being of man. Let no one be startled by the boldness of the statement; but were I to select a term which the most nearly symbolizes the object of an Industrial University it would be Wealth; as that of a Law School is Justice; of a Medical College, Health; of a Theological Seminary, Religion; of a University proper, the whole circle of Science and Literature.
Of course, intellectual culture and moral training are not to be overlooked in the instruction here imparted and the discipline here given; for they are inseparably connected with every system of true education.
