Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Education and American Citizenship: An Address Delivered Before the Associated Alumni of the University of Rochester There was a time during the civil war when for lack of volunteers, it became necessary for the government to draft men into the service of the country. As I happened to be a volunteer at that time, I was never able to enter fully into the consciousness of the man who was drawn into the service against his own will. But I have sometimes thought that if such an one should ever fail in the performance of his duty, he might perhaps console himself with the reflection that not he, but the government, should be held responsible for his failure. I feel myself tonight somewhat in the position of a drafted man; for the invitation of your committee was so pressing, not to say imperative, that I regarded it as a sort of command which could not be ignored. And so if my effort should not be deemed highly successful, I shall try to console myself with the belief that your committee should be held liable for my shortcoming. It is but just to myself to say further that your committee not only drafted me into the service, but also suggested the subject upon which I was to speak.
