John Harvard's own tolerance for difference-in people, in ideas, in issues and situations-is very apparent in the way he lived his life and in the classical writers he chose to emulate and to admire the most. By the time he finished his studies at Cambridge University, he was totally convinced that education's greatest role should be to teach people how to be tolerant of one another; never to allow their emotions to over rule the wisdom of their actions. And he had great hopes that the importance of tolerance among men would be a fundamental part of all learning in the new England, the land of hope. This story shows how John Harvard believed in and wanted this attitude for tolerance in education so much that on his death bed he suddenly decided to offer his sizeable and completely unexpected gift "to the new colledge", convinced that his bequest would help start the new college in the new land-sooner!

Will the patriots receive justice in such hands? Will their patriotism be rewarded or will they be ostracized?
The Candidates describes a Virginia election for the House of Burgesses in the early 1770's, and was intended to mock corrupt candidates who attempted to gain voted they do not deserve.

Find out what the electorate thinks of theses candidates! --- from book's back cover on Sale!
±1±: Best Buy The Three Mentors is an exceptionally good book. It is amazing how Theodore Harris (author) tracks his life through the words of this book. I enjoyed reading about his childhood, life in and out of the service, and trials and triumphs in adulthood. It is amazing how the three mentors (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Ronald Reagan, and John Wayne) that he mentions tremendously impacted his life. on Sale!
