Excerpt from An Address at the Semi-Centennial Commencement of Lafayette College: Delivered June 27th, 1882 The period in the midst of which fell the semi-centennial of the Republic was marked by activities and events thoroughly in sympathy with the Protestant genius of our American institutions. It is a section of our social and ecclesiastical annals of considerable interest to the student of the history of education. If that student is a Presbyterian, he will not need to blush for the mark his Church makes in that history. Just before 1825 the Presbyterians of Kentucky, true to the traditions of the Reformation and their denominational precedents, had laid the foundations of Centre College at Danville. During the national semi-centennial, and at the very time that the citizens of Easton, under Presbyterian leadership, were founding Lafayette College, the Presbyterian pioneers-of Indiana, fresh from the work in Kentucky, in which they had shared, initiated the movement for a college at Hanover, and a few years after laid the foundation of another at Crawfordsville. Lafayette and Hanover Colleges both assumed full collegiate form in 1832, and were the twin children of the same Presbyterian mother. At the head of all these almost simultaneous academic enterprises was that Scotch-Irish element which has done as much as any other nationality in diffusing and establishing the liberal ideas and progressive institutions of the Reformation among the Anglo-American colonies and States.
