Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Baccalaureate and Other Sermons and Addresses "Many a teacher," said an eminent divine, "has been perfectly satisfied with teachership, perfectly content to furnish the materials and conditions of effective and conspicuous activity to other minds and to rest, himself, in obscurity as they went forth to prominence." Thus Socrates waited to speak through Plato. Thus Gamaliel invested himself in Paul. Even the Teacher of Teachers left to his disciples the promise of "greater works" than His. Such is the rule, not without pathos, of the true teacher´s life. "Can it be," asked a gatherer of statistics, some months ago, "that President Tanner has never published any of his writings?" Except upon requests of newspaper and magazine editors, he never had. Yet a man yearns for a monument of that sort. Step into a library, visit an unfrequented alcove, and listen to the pleading of the volumes. But their backs are turned toward the world, - and the shyness is mutual. Neither the longing to be consulted by posterity, nor the loving anxiety to have another thus remembered, is sufficient to justify a book. Beneath the desire to honor a cherished memory and to make these sermons and addresses easy of access, is an earnest belief that they contain what will be of value to the future historian of American education, and that their publication will renew and extend the quiet influence which Dr. Tanner´s words have had upon certain lives.
