Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education and Progress: An Address Delivered Before the Franklin and Washington Literary Societies of Lafayette College, at Easton, Pa;, At the Annual Commencement, September 14, 1847 Gentlemen of the Franklin and Washington Literary Societies Of Lafayette College. These titles are happily associated. When, perhaps too recently for the just demands of this occasion, I received your request to address you, I nevertheless felt myself persuaded, by the combination of these revered names with each other, and with these academic studies and recreations with which they are so significantly blended. I found, in the association, something suggestive, both as to the themes appropriate to this literary festival, and as to the topics and methods suited to their illustration. Washington! Franklin! Lafayette! names which the world delights to honor! - names interwoven with the greatest era of modern history; with events that belong to all time, and pregnant with the destinies of the human race! - names that are representative of the great principles of social privilege and duty, of salutary progress, and true prosperity! - names canonized in the calendars of patriotism and philanthropy, and emblazoned in the archives of public and private virtue! names not all unknown to philosophy; famed fro wisdom and sagaciousness; patronal of science, industry and art!
