Summary
Beza’s opening speech set the tone for the Genevan Academy’s approach to education: students were to gain knowledge in the humanities, ancient biblical languages, Scripture, and theology, but were also to develop their moral character and lives of faith. This double purpose shaped the Genevan Academy but was rooted in the wider understanding of education at the time.
