Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North Carolina: May 31st, 1854 Gentlemen of the Philanthropic and Dialectic Societies: - After an absence of just forty years I return to these ancient and consecrated halls: I return upon your kind invitation, here to offer up on the altars of my early worship, renewed vows of devotion and gratitude, to that alma-mater, who in the days of my youth carried me in her arms and folded me to her bosom. During this long pilgrimage I have seen and felt enough to render this sentiment of homage and respect both profound and indelible. Wherever I have been, I have seen no success crown the efforts of her alumni, and no public honors conferred upon them, which might not be fairly attributed to their early discipline in this Institution, and her two Literary Societies. It was here that the foundation was laid for a sound, thorough and practical education. It was here that they were taught to redeem every moment of their time - to put temptation at defiance - to scorn the degradations of vice - to watch, like the eagle, for every opportunity of improvement, and when discovered, however high or far off, like that noble bird, to fly upward to it. Their eminent success in every profession and pursuit in life, ought to remove every doubt which at any time may have crossed your minds, as to the Institution you have selected. You have heard much of Princeton, of Yale and Harvard, and in momenta of gloom and despondence you may have doubted, whether some one of these would not have been better, or might not have opened to you an easier or more certain passport to the honors and emoluments of life. The Presidential mansion, the Halls of both Houses of Congress, the courts and legislatures of half the States of the Union, all unite in quieting every such apprehension.
