The Highest Use of Learning: An Address is a book written by Edward Hitchcock in 1845. The book is an address that was given by Hitchcock at Amherst College during his inauguration as the new President of the institution. In the book, Hitchcock discusses the importance of education and the role it plays in society. He argues that the highest use of learning is not just to gain knowledge for personal gain, but to use that knowledge to benefit society as a whole. He also discusses the importance of morality and religion in education and how they can be used to shape the character of individuals. The book is a reflection of Hitchcock's views on education and his vision for Amherst College as its new President. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in America and the role of higher education in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
