Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Pronounced Before the House of Convocation of Trinity College Mr. Dean, and Gentlemen of Convocation: It seems proper that the first words of him who on this occasion is honoured in addressing you, should be those of congratulation. There has been, as we trust, revived among us, something of the old and true principle of the University. Not indeed in its ancient form, nor in precisely the ancient mode of its expression. For it may and often does chance, that a principle shall express itself in diverse outward forms in different ages, while yet in itself it remains unchanged. Indeed no external organisations or forms within which principles are enshrined, - save only those which being of divine appointment are adapted to every age, and not to be changed by man, - can be expected to remain precisely the same, generation after generation, and age after age. For they exist in a world whose social and intellectual relations arc continually changing: and by those very changes, demanding corresponding changes in those external modes by which unchanging principles are brought to bear and do their work, whether on individuals or on masses of our race.
