Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Address: Delivered in University Hall, Lawrence, Kansas, September 26, 1883 I esteem myself happy, Mr. President, that, under circumstances so auspicious, I come into the office to which the Board of Regents of Kansas University has, with so flattering a courtesy, invited me. The first duty which was laid upon me by the Board in my new relation, was that in the performance of which I stand here to-day, to give expression, in meager outline though it be, to some hastily collected thoughts concerning University work, and the relation, as it seems to me, which a State University should hold to the public school system, of which, indeed, it is a part. I may be allowed here, perhaps, and this once, to speak out in the frankest possible manner, and say that it is not entirely without misgiving that I have contemplated the responsibilities which have thus been thrown upon me. The greatness of the work, not so much that which is as that which is to be, impresses me. The University must keep pace with the wonderful development of Kansas; indeed, it must, with other agencies, mold and direct that very development. A University such as the singular prosperity of this great and growing commonwealth makes possible, and yet itself one of the factors of that prosperity, - the University as it stands to-day in the liberal thought of the Regents and of the people of Kansas, - the ideal University, how shall it be realized!
