Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses and Papers: 1911 1912 It is a genuine satisfaction to participate in your celebration of the accomplishments of the first twenty-five years in the life of this young university. As universities go, Temple University is yet very young. I have wandered about the halls of universities that have been six hundred or eight hundred years in the building. The oldest of our American universities is looking forward to its three hundredth anniversary. It certainly takes time to develop a great university, but we in America have a way of building universities more rapidly than they do in other lands or than they used to do in this country. That fact finds splendid illustration in the growth of this institution. Our celebration will not recall history and tradition very much; it will not be very boastful of gray-headed "old grads" gone to the United States Senate or Supreme Court; it will not be a solemn festival where old men have all the good seats and indulge in reminiscences; but it will be a sort of hilarious expression of the energy, the accomplishments, the hopes, and the determination of youth. While I am no longer a young man as years go, I am bound to say that this kind of a celebration is not without exceedingly attractive features. Temple University is not only young; it is democratic. It is not exclusive socially or educationally. It gives warm welcome to all who can do its work. It recognizes the fact that work done gives the best promise of the power to do, and it therefore regards records and certificates; but it does not believe, or even half-way believe, that the people of the United States are to be classified and one class educated and another ¬ and it does not believe, or even half-way believe, that all education worth the name is ancient and literary, and that all education that is modern or industrial is hardly worth the having. On the contrary, it believes that every one should have his chance; that the door of opportunity should open to the earnest purpose and to the power to do; and that the education which enters into life and makes life better worth the living is the education that is of the most worth and that most surely concerns American universities.
