Excerpt from Education in Nebraska The evidence of Governor Cuming's earnestness in his professed interest in education is seen in his later course. His name is found in the list of charter members of several of the early colleges and at the head of those which made the most earnest endeavors to become organized and established. Governor Cuming died March 23, 1858, at the age of 30. He was perhaps the ablest man who has ever been a citizen of Nebraska.b His judgment was good, his literary ability great, his foresight keen, and his interest in all that tended to develop the best side of life is proved by his acts. His name has a place even in a history of higher education, for, himself a college-bred man, he did all he could for its interests in the rude and undeveloped condi tions which prevailed in those days. The part of his message relating to education was referred to the committee on schools, a committee prolific in university charters at least; whether its educational wis dom equaled its zeal is not so certain. At this time all charters, whether for the location of a ferry, for the incorporation of a town, or for the establishment of a university, were secured by special acts, as there were as yet no general laws governing these subjects.
