Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North Carolina, June 6, 1849 Gentlemen of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies: I come to acquit myself of an obligation I could not disregard, and to attest my sense of the distinction you have been pleased to confer, however much I regret that the cause of letters, and this occasion of ever recurring interest, have not a more fit representative. Though poor must be my contribution to the annual festival of the friends of learning, so redolent of pleasant, but mournful remembrances of the past, and joyful hopes of the future, so cheering to our country and our University, in view of the intellectual harvests which have been here gathered, and of those which are in promise, I could not decline the grateful office of welcoming forth those, who, having finished with approbation their course here, now go forward to the duties and trials of manhood, and of speaking a word of encouragement and counsel to the ingenuous youth, who continue in these peaceful shades, pursuing he same liberal studies. It would, doubtless, be a most agreeable communication, could one, who after a long separation, returns to bear a part in the ceremonies of this day, and finds in these classic halls, a new generation, emulous in every ennobling quality, announce any discovery or improvement, in an age so abounding in wonderful changes, by which the student could be relieved of the toil and labor now deemed indispensable for his discipline, and by which, youth could be at once invested with the wisdom and learning, thus far attainable only by long years of industrious application.
