The People's College of the State of New York, written by Amos Brown in 1863, is a historical account of the establishment and early years of the People's College, a pioneering institution of higher education in the United States. The book provides a detailed narrative of the college's founding, its mission and philosophy, and its educational programs and curriculum. It also offers insights into the social and political context in which the college emerged, including the debates over education reform and the role of higher education in promoting social and economic progress. The People's College was founded in 1853 as a response to the growing demand for accessible and affordable education among working-class and rural communities. It was unique in its commitment to providing a liberal arts education to students regardless of their social or economic background. The college was also innovative in its use of experiential learning, including agricultural and industrial training, to prepare students for practical careers. The People's College of the State of New York is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American education, social reform, and the role of higher education in promoting democratic ideals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
