Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial Discourse of Nathaniel F. Moore, Sometime President of Columbia College, New York, Delivered at the Request of the Alumni, January 14, 1874, in the College Chapel Brethren of the Alumni" - My first recollections of Columbia College belong to my school-boy days. I remember one morning, when I was about eleven years of age, standing on Church street, and looking through the iron railing which surrounded the College ground on three sides, attracted by the students, who were in full force on the Green, robed in their Academic gowns - a joyous band. It was some public day. My impression is that it was the opening of the Term in the Fall, and the Examination of Candidates for admission. I gazed on the scene with delight, not unmingled with awe; for a Collegian, in my young eyes, was a wonderfully great man: and I began to count the years and months that must pass before I could arrive at this distinction; and to wonder how I could ever learn Greek; comforting myself, however, by the reflection that what so many boys before me had done I could possibly do also. Some three or four years afterwards, in 1824, I was one of a like company of aspirants, bright, happy, hopeful, wondering spirits.
