Stebbins, who would spend his career in Maine as a judge and leading citizen, discusses "some of the branches of education pursued in this college, and the manner in which they ought to be improved" His core curriculum emphasizes Latin, Greek, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, and Ethics He urges a vigorous and purposeful use of knowledge in order to achieve success in life "All joys arise from action Steadiness in our aims is essential to success He who bustles from object to object, from business to business, leaving each half achieved, may as well do nothing" He recommends, "attempt with boldness," "prosecute with energy," "complete with punctuality"
