Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Before the Literary Societies of University of North Carolina Respected Sir, Ladies and Gentlemen: The old, old story of education in all its relations to every branch of progress has been told again and again by the profoundest thinkers, ripest scholars and most eloquent tongues. It has been so often repeated that nothing novel can be hoped for at this time, and I can assure you that never was the performance of a duty imposed and assumed approached with more anxious misgivings than this one. Inconsistent fears of opposite extremes confront me. Wafted back on the wings of memory, dear to college days, there stands a student´s timidity; cognizant of a living present, there stands a conscious dread that too much will be expected from an alumnus, in your forgetfulness that there is but an infinitessimal difference between the height of youth and that of man. It was not with any egotistical pride, or even remote hope of adding a gleam of light to this brilliant occasion, that this invitation was accepted. Members of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies, I am with you to-day in obedience to the dictates of a manly affection for the historic society that mothered me in youth, and was then most generous with honors, as well as with kind feelings now; in response to the high esteem and deep regard, fruitage of honorable competition, entertained for her sister society, and in willing and most pleasurable submission to the ever imperious demands of sincere gratitude to this grand old institution, which for a century has beero intensely faithful and loyal to the mission of equipping her children for the perilous march over the limitless plain of human activities, even unto the Golden Gates of the world to come.
