| Summary | "The New England Magazine and Bay State Monthly, June 1886" is a historical magazine published during the late 19th century. This volume provides a range of articles discussing various topics related to the culture, institutions, and notable individuals of New England, particularly focusing on the history of Williams College and other significant local subjects. With contributions from various authors, it aims to capture the evolving identity of New England during a time of socio-political change and educational growth. At the start of the magazine, the article "Williams College" by Rev. N. H. Egleston highlights the college’s unique history, detailing its founding in the context of early American conflicts between French and English colonial powers. It describes Colonel Ephraim Williams, the college’s namesake, who dedicated his estate to create a free school for the soldiers under his command. The narrative outlines the college's humble beginnings amidst the wilderness, the character and dedication of its founders, and the importance of education in shaping the moral and practical futures of its students. Additionally, it emphasizes the college's commitment to high academic standards, character formation, and the natural sciences, illustrating how its educational philosophies were adapted to meet the needs of the time.
