Pertaining to education; derived from education; as, educational habits.--Webster. The authority cited by Webster for the use of this word is "Smith"--a rather indefinite one. Mr. Pickering says the word was new to him until he saw it in the following extract:
It is believed that there is not an individual of the college who would, if questioned, complain that he has, in any instance, felt himself pressed with opinions which interfered with his educational creed.--Dr. Grant's Report to the College of New Jersey, 1815.
