Scottish minister and social reformer Thomas Chalmers (1780 1847)
is famous as the leader of the group of 470 ministers who left the
Church of Scotland in 1843 to found the Free Church of Scotland,
and as the author (in 1834) of the first Bridgewater Treatise (also
reissued in this collection). Along with his theological interests,
Chalmers was deeply concerned with educational reform in schools
and universities. In 1827 he published this paper on university
endowments, asserting that it was the state's responsibility to
support religious and educational institutions, because churches,
schools, and universities maintained the nation's Christian
principles and character. Chalmers argued that only endowed
national establishments were capable of ensuring the religious and
moral well-being of the individual. In addition to his appeal for
university endowments, he also advocated (unusually for his time)
the extension of full civil rights to dissenters and Catholics.
