Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Inauguration of the Author as President of Dartmouth College There are certain circumstances and relationships which render this duty especially pleasant to me, and almost reconcile me to the unaccustomed service of speaking before such an assembly and in such a place. It is no formal welcome which I give you, Sir, to-day. We have played as boys together amid the Green Mountains of my native State, and the name of Asa Dodge Smith recalls the tenderest memories, and reminds me that the same blood flows in your veins and my own. Widely have our paths in life diverged, yet here we meet again in maturer years; not too old, I trust, nor too much elated by the honors which have fallen to our lot, to renew the friendship of our childhood. I welcome you, as a son of Dartmouth, back to your mothers arms, after a generation has passed away, and rejoice that no ordinance, human or divine, hinders us from hailing the son as at the same time the husband and the father. Your vigorous manhood gives promise of a lasting union. That large experience which the Great Metropolis has given you, joined to that native strength of character which led me to look up to you when a boy, assures us that the offspring of mother Dartmouth which shall be reared under your charge, will be worthy to be remembered with such illustrious names as Webster and Choate.
