Bishop Pierce's Sermons and Addresses with a Few Special Discourses by Dr. Pierce

Perhaps one of Pierce's most important goals was to promote female education.He referred to a female college as the "index of progress in the line of social advancement," declaring women's intellects have "been strangely underrated." "Women", he writes, "need all the light that learning can give." His perspective is clearly outlined in his sermon, "Why Women Should Be Well Educated," and in his addresses "Church Colleges" and "Public Opinion."
