Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in Christ Church, Hartford, July 1, 1874: Before the House of Convocation of Trinity College, in Affectionate Commemoration of the Rev. Abner Jackson, D.D., LL. D Rev. Dean, and Brethren of the Convocation: Our College completes, this day, the first half century of its history. The Charter was granted as early as May, 1823. The election of a President, however, was delayed till the following spring; and the Institution gathered no students, did not have its actual commencement, till a few months after - just fifty years ago. This, then, is our Semi-Centennial. No trumpet has been sounded, no Jubilee appointed; but we cannot let the interesting moment pass by in forgetfulness and silence. We hail it with satisfaction and with pride. Our hearts warm with the memories it kindles, and with the hopes it inspires. The little one has become a thousand. It has outgrown the expectations, and, perhaps I may say, the conceptions, of those who planted it amid difficulties and oppositions, and yet in faith and prayer. Among older and taller trees of the forest, which overshadowed the feeble sapling, it has quietly lifted up its head, and asserted its power and right to live.
