Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses on the Occasion of the Inauguration of William Gay Ballantine as President of Oberlin College My Brother, Wm. G. Ballantine: It is my pleasant duty, this morning, at the introduction of these exercises, by the authority of the Trustees of Oberlin College, to make the formal announcement of your election to the presidency of the college, and to transfer to your keeping the appropriate symbols of authority and responsibility. The responsibilities of this position fall upon you by the unanimous action of the Trustees, and with the hearty approval of all who share in the college work. This unanimous and hearty choice is based upon the assurance that in yourself, the Christian scholar, and teacher, and man of affairs, we find embodied the essential qualities of the standard-bearer who shall lead us on to the accomplishment of the work to which God in his providence calls us. To this work you were born and trained, and in it you have already passed a probation of many years. The college is to be congratulated that such a man was at call, in the hour of its need. We are permitted to reckon it among the many evidences of the gracious Providence which has shaped its history. I am permitted also to congratulate you, my brother, upon the work to which you are called, the opportunity which opens to you. The field which lies before you speaks for itself; no words of mine can heighten your apprehension of it. Yet you feel that it utterly transcends your estimate.
