Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Trustees, Faculty, and Students of La Fayette College, Easton, Pa: At Its First Commencement for Conferring Degrees, on the 22d of September, 1836 The revolution of time has brought round a period, which will ever be marked in the history of this institution. It now first dawns upon the world, giving a flattering promise of what its day shall bring forth. Hitherto, all has been preparation - active, laborious, and anxious - sometimes almost paralyzed by difficulties, which seemed to baffle effort; - sometimes, cheered and invigorated by the prospect of success - always struggling with obstacles which nothing but energy and perseverance could overcome. But the events of this day add another page to the records of all times and of all countries to prove, that under the benign influence of that Providence which favours and fosters every thing that deserves to succeed, energy and perseverance, prompted by virtuous motives and directed to virtuous ends, like Faith can remove mountains. It is now more than ten years, since a few patriotic and public spirited men of this immediate neighbourhood, deeply sensible of the vital importance of diffusing the lights of education through our rapidly growing community, and of the vast disproportion between the wants and the means of mental culture; measuring their efforts rather by the magnitude and importance of their undertaking, than by their immediate resources to carry it into successful operation, but resting their hope on the support of an enlightened and liberal community, laid the foundations of an institution, whose honours are now for the first time to be conferred. The seed was then planted - the fruit is now to be plucked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
