Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Before the Alumni Association of the University of North Carolina: Delivered in Gerard Hall, June 2, 1847, the Evening Preceding Commencement Mr. President, and gentlemen of the association: In appearing before you to-day, while I regret that your invitation had not found one possessed of more leisure than I have had in which to meet its requirements, I am glad of the opportunity which has thus been afforded me, to testify my continued interest in my Alma Mater, and my sincere regard for those great purposes of science and of virtue which it is the fortunate office of an American University to promote. After intervals of absence - some of them embracing more than a quarter of a century - we visit again, mindful yet of our literary brotherhood, the cherished scenes of our youthful studies, and renew for a few brief hours, amid the fragrant memorials of Chapel Hill, our ancient companionship of letters, and our old associations of classic life. Turning aside from our accustomed pursuits, we exchange the greetings of friendship in halls long sacred to religion and to truth; and before the altars of our early worship, we gather fresh motives of gratitude to the venerable Institution whose virtues they commemorate. We surrender ourselves to the mild influences of the day and the occasion. We forget the discords of professional strife; the hard competitions of business; the feverish thirst for fame: and hushing all the thousand voices of party zeal, we bow ourselves in unresisting submission to the divinity of the place. In such influences we find our best preparation for the Anniversary which we celebrate. It is a festival less of the head than of the heart.
