BURRITT COLLEGE CENTENNIAL ADDRESS (Preview)
By Charles Lee Lewis
Class of 1903
As Daniel Webster said in his famous speech on the Dartmouth College Case, so do we say of Burritt College, �Though it is a little college, there are those who love it.� That explains why we have gathered here from far and wide to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of its founding.
A hundred years seems a long time, even to some of us who first became students in this institution more than fifty years ago. Many changes take place in the course of a century. Let us turn back the clock of Time and take a bird�s-eye view of the year 1848, the year when Burritt College received its charter.
