Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Ohio State University, Vol. 3: Addresses and Proceedings of the Semicentennial Celebration, October 13-16, 1920 Official records, however complete, printed addresses, however glowing, cannot preserve the atmosphere of the Semicentennial celebration at the Ohio State University. For there is in these the note of wordy ostentation and of pride, "cut-and-dried," that do not reflect the warmth and the felicity of the occasion, intimately remembered. The Jubilee, in recollection, will mean many things to the many who were here and who had happy part in it: to the University administration, the honored delegates and speakers from sister institutions, and the Faculties, the occasion was one of distinction - the distinction of summed-up achievement in education; to the hosts of homecoming alumni and former students this feeling of pride in the accomplishments of Alma Mater was mingled with the joy of reunion; to the undergraduates, the Week of Jubilee will stand in remembrance as a time of joyous participation in swift-moving and thrilling events on the campus whose significance was sensed if not quite understood at the time. Throughout the celebration there was the note of prophecy, the thought of bigger things ahead - larger service, greater fame for the University. And herein, along with its historical value, was the real purpose and service of the celebration. "Jubilee Day," October 13, was the curtain-raiser. The crowds were not large, but already the alumni homecoming wave had begun to flow toward the campus. Scores of the graduates were grouped in the shade of friendly and familiar trees beside the Long Walk over which the academic procession moved from the Library to the Gymnasium for the opening ceremonies. Other bevies of early reunionists were clustered in the Hollow, near the Spring, that day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
