Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Study in the University and the Place of Mediaeval History: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered on Saturday, January 12th, 1895 The custom of expecting an Inaugural Lecture from a new professor is venerable and reasonable. I am the more willing to honor it because I have desired to call attention to some things relating to the study of History in the University of Toronto, and to speak especially of the study of Mediæval History. It is with a sense of responsibility that I remember the eminence of my predecessor in this chair. The collegiate world is peculiarly liable to forget its distinguished men. Graduates are soon absorbed in new interests, only the rare few keep up ties with alma mater, and the successive generations of students have no memory of former professors. But the peculiar distinction of Sir Daniel Wilson should long preserve his name from this oblivion. He served the University with the best energy of a strong man, and brought to his task an extraordinary variety of accomplishments. Early in life he was a friend of the painter Turner, and the fine engraving of Turner´s picture, "Regulus leaving Carthage," is Sir Daniel Wilson´s work. Art was to be for him, however, only an unfailing source of pleasure and recreation. He devoted himself to Archæology. While still a young man, he published his book on Prehistoric Scotland, and this at once placed him in the front rank in his own department of study. Then, recommended by the historian Hallam and others, he came to take the chair of History and English Literature at Toronto, and for nearly forty years he was one of the most active and conspicuous figures in our educational world.
