Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Graduate´s Return: An Oration Before the Alumni of Harvard University, at Their Triennial Festival, July 19, 1860 Mr. President, And Brethren Of The Alumni: - The swift years have brought us once more to this cherished festival of letters and good-fellowship, and the new auspices under which we meet to-day, instead of eclipsing, ought rather to brighten the interest of our reunion. We have been invited to take part in the inauguration of our brother, the President elect, and with cordial respect complying, we yet keep our own established usages, hold our own time and ground, and speak our own free word alike of greeting and declaration. It would be easier, and in some respects, undoubtedly, more agreeable, for me simply to express your good wishes and take my seat. But I cannot with propriety disregard your customs and express instructions, and substitute ceremonial congratulation for regular discourse. The presence of so many superiors, instead of depressing a speaker, ought rather to cheer and encourage him by thoughts of the old times when we stood on this platform by command of the fathers, and by bringing him nearer you as brothers.
