Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses in Memory of Carl Schurz: Carnegie Hall, New York, November 21, 1906 Carl Schurz died in New York City May 14, 1906, in the seventy-eight years of his age. On June 8, a meeting of citizens of New York was held at the Chamber of Commerce, to take measures to honor his memory. A committee was formed to cooperate with similar committees in other parts of the country in establishing a permanent public memorial to Mr. Schurz, and to hold in New York a fitting memorial meeting. This meeting was held at Carnegie Hall on the evening of Wednesday, November 21, 1906, the Honorable Joseph H. Choate, Chairman of the New York Committee, presiding. The speakers were the Honorable Grover Cleveland, former President of the United States; Dr. Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard University; Professor Eugene Kuhnemann, of the University of Breslau; the Honorable Charles J. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy; Mr Richard Watson Gilder, Editor of the Century Magazine; Professor Hermann a Schumacher, of the University of Bonn; and Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute. The music included choruses in German, sung by the Liederkanz and Arion socities, and the march from Die Gotterdammerung and the prelude to Die Meistersinger, by the New York Symphony Orchestra, led by Frank Damrosch.
