Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Higher Education and Progress, 1904: Address at the Thirteenth Annual Commencement of the Leland From Archimedes to Copernicus, from Galileo to Watt and Stephenson, from Gutenberg to Morse and Bell and the host of inventors and discoverers who have made our later times illustrious, there is one continuous record of achievement. From a period long antedating the Christian era to the beginning of its twentieth century there has been no break in this progress. What one civilization accomplished another inherits. The position reached by one generation becomes the starting-point for the next. It has been a progress that has ministered to the wants of man, making the conditions of life ever more agreeable, and leaping ahead to open wider and wider avenues of desire. It has made luxuries common, brought widely separated countries together, provided means of travel and rapid communication, improved dwellings, sanitation, clothing, and food. Through its wealth and leisure it has reacted upon science and philosophy, art and literature, promoting intelligence, refinement, and the endless quest for human welfare.
