Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dr. John Rocky Park This brochure is only a brief sketch of the life and work of Dr. John R. Park. While he was President of the University of Deseret his fame went out into all parts of the territory. Men who have done a great work fade from the minds of the next generation. This little brochure has for its purpose - to keep the memory of Dr. Park fresh and green. His brilliant gifts and splendid service to the people of the Territory of Utah and other parts of the West deserve to be remembered with honor. It has not been the object of the author to deal with details. Only the larger elements of the work of the great teacher could be mentioned. Like all great men in history, Dr. Park was not fully appreciated until long after his death. Today hundreds of students recall the majesty of his personality and the strength of his character. They hold him in sacred memory, and happy are they that the beautiful building on the University Campus will be named in his honor. The many interesting reminiscences told by his old colleagues and students are important and must be preserved for the future biographer of this great man. May this little book help keep afresh the work of the "Father of the University of Utah," and our honored Alma Mater. Matthew Arnold once said of his old professors at Oxford: "Forty years ago when I was an undergraduate at Oxford, voices were in the air which haunt my memory still. Happy the man who in that susceptible season of youth hears such voices. They are a possession to him forever." The voices of man of the old professors of UTAH are heard no more, yet in memory the words and teachings of such men as Prof. Orson Spencer, Prof. Orson Pratt, A. M., Dr. John M. Bernhisel. Dr. Karl G. Maeser, Dr. William M. Stewart, Prof. Albert Carrington, Prof. James Cobb, Prof. George M.Ottinger, Dr. F. D. Benedict, Prof. Dan Weggeland, Dr. John R. Park, and many others, still live in the memory of the old students to direct their minds to a higher life. They were real teachers - men unselfish, and true to the ideals of knowledge. These men threw the whole force of their natures into the cause of education in early day Utah. They were pioneers to a new country, it is true. Great problems had to be solved; nature had to be conquered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
