520			_a"Colleges in America" by John Marshall Barker is an educational account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an overview of the growth, functions, and significance of American colleges, detailing their historical context and evolution from early institutions. The author draws on firsthand observations and a variety of scholarly sources to explore how these colleges reflect the values of a Christian education and contribute to the moral and intellectual development of society. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining the historical roots of higher education, tracing it back to ancient times and discussing its evolution through European universities. Barker emphasizes the critical role that Christianity played in shaping educational practices, particularly during the establishment of early American colleges such as Harvard, Yale, and William & Mary. The author paints a picture of colonists who sought to create institutions that would promote not only academic knowledge but also moral integrity and civic responsibility, framing the establishment of colleges as a response to the need for educated leaders in a new nation.
