Excerpt from Collegium Regale Novi Eboraci: The Origin and Early History of Columbia CollegeAlthough Berkeley died before the project of the New York College had taken any definite shape, his practical suggestions in a letter to Johnson with refer ence to it, connect his name with its history. His ex pression of good hopes, if Johnson could be at the head of it, is the earliest intimation I have met with of that design which was afterwards carried out in his appointment. Johnson was a truly great and good man - and his service to the College, although much inter rupted by the terrors of the small-pox in the city, and domestic misfortune, impressed its modest and humble beginnings with a character which soon made its early history a fitting prologue to the imperial theme of C0 lumbia.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
