Excerpt from The History of Carleton College: Its Origin and Growth Environment and Builders Nevertheless, there is an embarrassment connected with the performance of this task, which all along has been deeply felt, and found in the fact that so many of the most prominent of the early actors in the scenes presented still survive. How difficult and how next to impossible to speak adequately, and yet becomingly, of them and the part they played. For the most part no attempt will be made in this direc tion. To avoid the perplexity somewhat, especial emphasis will be laid upon the earlier decades, the first things, the beginnings, with the purpose of speaking so fully of these that no need will arise for doing this work over again, leaving it to some future historian to continue the story. No doubt defects will be discovered upon these pages by whoever may examine them with the critic's eye. Omissions which seem serious to some will be noted, as well as matters introduced which in the judgment of some might better have been omitted. Very likely also certain of the conclusions reached and the convictions expressed will be deemed mistaken, with over-praise bestowed here, and lack of appreciation manifested there. But whatever defects, whether real or only apparent, are perceived, let them be charged, one and all, where they wholly belong, to the author.

Excerpt from The History of the Origin and Growth of Carleton College: Northfield, Minn In recognition of this timely and unprecedented donation to the exchequer of a western college, the trustees at a special meeting, unanimously voted to change its name, and affix to it that of its greatest benefactor. So, with the latter's consent, it was from this time forth known as Carleton College. That fifty thousand dollars, coming when, and coming as it did, set the struggling college at once on its feet, settled the fact that it was to live and prosper, and raised it immediately into such promise and prominence that other persons of wealth were ready to array themselves among its patrons.
