Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown University The aim of the founders of Brown University is succinctly stated in the original charter of 1764: To form "the rising Generation to Virtue, Knowledge, and useful Literature;" and thus to preserve in the community "a Succession of Men duly qualified for discharging the Offices of Life with Usefulness and Reputation." To this high purpose the university, during its century and a half of history, has held true. In common with the other New England colleges of the older type, it has cherished the conservative ideal of a well-rounded intellectual training conducive equally to the happiness of the individual and the prosperity of the state. Brown University, seventh in age among the six hundred colleges of the United States, has been differentiated, however, from its neighbors of pre-Revolutionary origin by its environment.
