"The New England Magazine, Volume 1, No. 2, February, 1886" by Various is a historical magazine published in the late 19th century. This issue includes a diverse range of articles, illustrations, and topics reflecting the culture and events of the time, particularly focusing on educational institutions, notable figures, and historical accounts relevant to New England. At the start of this volume, the opening portion delves into the establishment of Tufts College, detailing its founding by Charles Tufts and the driving forces behind its inception, primarily led by Rev. Hosea Ballou, 2d, who advocated for the need for a Universalist college. The narrative outlines the college's initial struggles, substantial benefactions from various individuals, and the developments that led to its growth, all while contrasting its evolution against the backdrop of established institutions like Harvard. It portrays the challenges the college faced, the community's involvement, and the foundational figures who contributed to its establishment and early development.
