Noah Porter: A Memorial By Friends (1893) is a book written by George Spring Merriam as a tribute to the life and work of Noah Porter, an American educator and theologian who served as the president of Yale University from 1871 to 1886. The book is a collection of essays and speeches by various friends and colleagues of Porter, who share their memories and reflections on his personal and professional accomplishments. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including Porter's early life and education, his contributions to the field of philosophy and theology, his role in shaping the curriculum at Yale, and his impact on the wider intellectual and cultural landscape of his time. The book provides a comprehensive and intimate portrait of a remarkable figure in American history, and offers valuable insights into the intellectual and social currents of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
