The First University In America, 1619-1622; Volume 401 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781276411653)

"The First University In America, 1619-1622," Volume 401, explores the nascent stages of higher education in the American colonies. Authored by William Gordon McCabe and presented by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia, this work delves into the historical context and significance of early educational institutions. It sheds light on the ambitious, yet ultimately unrealized, attempt to establish a university in the Virginia colony during the early 17th century.

This volume offers insights into the challenges and aspirations of the early settlers as they sought to transplant European models of learning to the New World. It provides valuable perspectives on the cultural and intellectual foundations of American society and the enduring quest for knowledge and enlightenment. A valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the roots of American education.
