Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Science the True Basis of Education: An Address Delivered Before the Board of Trustees of the College of California, at Its First Commencement, at Oakland, June 14th, 1860 Mr. President and Gentlemen: There are few occasions that awaken such deep and varied feelings, as the first assembling of those whose interest in the great cause of education, - in the right developing of the noble faculties and powers implanted in the mind of man - has led them to found an institution for the accomplishment of this transcendantly important end. And such an occasion becomes vastly more impressive, when, as now, the institution whose energies are just about to be vitalized, is raising its untried form, in a State which has itself just sprung into existence; which, without a precedent in the history of nations, has culminated in its infancy - has expanded during the few years which most of you can overlook, without passing to another decade of your lives - into a great and powerful State, equal in wealth and population to some of those which bore a part in the founding of our national government - whose existence extends back even to that historical period, when time throws its misty veil over the record of events, and in the dim past, the "distance" and the "middle distance," begin to mingle. It would be natural to suppose that thus early in her infancy, her attention would be wholly engrossed with her physical wants and necessities: but no; already we see her earnestly directing her thoughts and energies to the establishment of those sources of literary and scientific knowledge, without which no people can hope for permanent prosperity, or a position of honor and dignity among nations.
