Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Colleges of Wisconsin In Wisconsin, as elsewhere in our country, the earliest institutions for higher education originated with Christian churches of different names. However complete may be the organization of public instruction under state authority, there will always be place and demand for distinctively Christian colleges to infuse into the body politic some positive religious influence in connection with the processes of education. This has been recognized in our state by the readiness of the legislature to grant liberal charters for such institutions, and to extend to them the fostering care and protection of the laws. The accompanying sketches have been prepared at the several institutions in accordance with a resolution of the Wisconsin State Teachers' Association, and are published under the direction of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, to be presented at the National Centennial Exposition, as one phase of the work of education sustained in Wisconsin.
