1773 was founded in a grammar school in Carlisle, which was the predecessor of Dickinson College. Ten years before the foundation of Dickinson College, Benjamin Rush,
1746- 1845) marched with the American army and signed the declaration of independence. In the budding new regime, even though there are many advanced elements who have made outstanding achievements in politics and academics, Benjamin still maintains a prominent position. It can be said that Benjamin is the backbone of the revolution.
As the backbone, Benjamin believes in freedom-freedom of thought and freedom of action. Benjamin thinks that Americans can realize their unprecedented potential. But at the same time, he also believes that as long as the musket rings, the revolution will last. He realized that the revolution might have just begun. Since the United States is fighting for freedom, American citizens need to become a country worthy of this freedom. Benjamin knows that only a country with high-quality education can hope to survive and prosper. So seven years later, after Benjamin met with other members of the US Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence, he signed the charter of a new college. 1On September 9, 783, a grammar school in Carlisle was transformed into Dickinson College. Less than a week ago, the Paris Peace Treaty officially declared the end of the revolution and recognized the international status of the United States of America. Therefore, Dickinson College is the first college in the newly established United States of America.
John Dickinson once described the college as a "fortress of freedom". In order to realize his educational ambition, Benjamin once asked the then governor John Dickinson,
1732- 1808) and named the college established in the western border of Pennsylvania after him. John readily agreed and designed the logo of the college with Benjamin. The figure wore a free hat,
Featuring binoculars and an open Bible, it is still the official symbol of the college today. This presents the mission rooted in Dickinson College for 225 years: to provide students with useful and advanced liberal arts education, cultivate students' strong sense of civic mission and become civic leaders. In many ways, Benjamin Rush, who set up this permanent mission at the right time, is a figure beyond his time. He bluntly opposed slavery, advocated women's education, supported the legal rights of mentally retarded people, and generously provided medical care for poor families in Philadelphia. His voice is powerful and clear, and he believes that the students of Dickinson College can express their views and positions on various issues today like him, so that the world can hear their voices. They can become leaders and shapers among new citizens. Regarding the location of the school, Benjamin chose Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town founded in 175 1. Carlisle was the government center at that time, but it was also the border town at that time. Located 25 miles west of the Hannock River in suske, it is the outpost of the westward movement.
(Unlike today, Carlisle, as a transportation hub, is only two hours' drive from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, new york and Philadelphia, and is at the intersection of various transportation routes), we can boldly guess that this combination of activity and uncertainty will attract Benjamin's sensitive educational nerves.
At first, Carlisle was used as a learning laboratory. For example, Dickinson's students can visit the American judicial system from campus to neighboring counties. But this is also where science students learn ecology through natural observation of Appalachian mountains in the next few decades (Dickinson College was the first college to introduce field trips into science courses). Benjamin believes that these first-hand information will cultivate the mind to lead the next generation in America. Time has not erased Benjamin's. Thank you, sir. Today, this commitment to the wider world continues to guide Dickinson-through internships, field trips, scientific workstations, and one of the best overseas exchange and study programs in the United States. 1784, at the first formal board meeting of the college, Scottish pastor and educator Charles Nisbet (Charles.
Nisbet,
1736- 1804) was elected as the first dean of Dickinson College. Charles was once a supporter of the American revolution and was deeply impressed by the image of famous scholars in American academic circles. He is called "the mobile library". Charles set very strict educational standards and established scholarships. Because of these unswerving and deep expectations, Dickinson College trained an American president, two university presidents, two Supreme Court judges, a governor, the founder of the Smithsonian Institution and at least two abolitionists in the early days.
