		Academicians of MIT and the University of Virginia eulogized Rogers.

	Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
		MIT was founded by William Barton Rogers in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States.
		Rogers sought to establish a new form of higher education to address the challenges posed by rapid advances in science and technology in the mid-19th century with which classic institutions were ill-prepared to deal.
		The Rogers Plan, as it came to be known, was rooted in three principles: the educational value of useful knowledge, the necessity of “learning by doing,” and integrating a professional and liberal arts education at the undergraduate level.

		Roger's grave helps to bear out the fact that the Restoration Movement is not to be identified as the "Campbellite" church.
		Another point of verification given by the Rogers monument is the name "Church of Christ." Those who participated in the development of the American Restoration Movement desired to do Bible things in Bible ways.

		Munroe has taken for his main theme the early struggles of William Barton Rogers and his brothers in the educational world, and the later efforts of William alone to found a technical institution.
		The later experience of William Barton in teaching, in connection with his survey of Virginia, in devel- oping the University of Virginia, gave him the knowledge of human nature which enabled him to place his educational ideas on a practical, working basis.
		Reverses and disappointments were many, but the spirit of President Rogers was not one which gave in easily, and in spite of the attacks on his mental and physical constitution, William Barton Rogers succeeded in establishing the one thought of his life, the Massachusetts' Institute of Technology.

	ALRA: Mount Rogers Inholders
		The tallest mountain in the state of Virginia is Mount Rogers, over 5700 feet high, named after William Barton Rogers, the first state geologist for Virginia and later the founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		Around Mount Rogers, in the Southwest corner of Virginia, is a rural landscape among beautiful green hills and mountains ranging from the North Carolina border on the south to north to the New River, misnamed because it is geologically the oldest river on the North American continent (Photos 36 and 37).
		In the mid-1960's Congress created the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area as a new concept in multiple-use recreation designed to satisfy the needs of those relatively close urban centers which were far removed from the older and more naturally spectacular National Parks.

		Founded in 1861 by William Barton Rogers, MIT's contributions to defense research during World War Two and the early decades of the Cold War as a federally funded research and development center won it an international reputation attracing many preeminent researchers.
		In 1861, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved a charter for the incorporation of the "Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston Society of Natural History," submitted by William Barton Rogers, a distinguished natural scientist.
		His efforts were hampered by the Civil War, and as a result its first classes were held in rented space at the Mercantile Building in downtown Boston in 1865.
