Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Address Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Board of Administrators and the Faculties, Students of the University, Ladies and Gentlemen, - To be concerned with the origin or development of a great institution of learning is one of the most difficult tasks, as it is one of the noblest that modern society can place upon the shoulders of any man or any group of men. If I know my own heart, I come to your service, after patient thought, with an honest purpose and a large desire for usefulness, unmoved by small ambitions, unfretted by ill-will to any soul, and uninfluenced by any sort of fear or favor. I, therefore, accept, Mr. President, these symbols of a high office as one who takes on a great responsibility, but who is likewise crowned with a great opportunity. Though conscious of a thousand shortcomings in the face of manifold difficulties, I yet undertake this task with a stout heart and a good courage. I feel about me the strength of the faculties of the university, whose message, delivered by their able representative, I profoundly appreciate, - a scholarly, large-minded, unselfish group of men, who have done heroic work in the past and who daily show forth their own worth and preach in their lives the wisdom and sagacity of William Preston Johnston and the board of administrators. I am conscious of the support and counsel of the board of administrators, eminent, far-seeing men of civic virtue and public spirit, who received a noble trust and have nobly administered it at much sacrifice of time and strength, without reward or hope of gain to themselves, save such large gain as comes to men who serve society in upbuilding ways. I see before me the bright and ever-widening circle of alumni and alumnæ who have been nourished by Alma Mater, who shall take increasing part in the actual guidance of the institution, and who will not forget to strengthen the hands of its leaders.
