Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Grounds of an Appeal to the State for Aid to Cornell University: Being the Address Delivered on Friday, the Eleventh of November, 1892, Upon His Inauguration as President Mr. Chairman: The institution which has summoned us to this day´s ceremonial is almost if not quite the youngest member of the still too small fraternity of great American universities. The oldest sister has already celebrated the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of her birth. The present year is the twenty-fifth since the opening of Cornell University. For our years, the oldest American colleges show decades; and beside the venerable antiquity of their European models we are but of yesterday. We can make no pretense to the dignity of age, or to hereditary influence, or to sacred tradition, or to that subdued and statuesque beauty of countenance which is born of the travail of many generations. It may, however, be suspected that the modern scholar, who nourishes his spirit on the rich legacies of remote generations, is, in consequence of a natural association of ideas, under constant temptation unduly to exalt the past and to admire what is old simply because it is old. This, however, was not the habit of that wonderful people who were the authors, and who continue to be the unapproachable models, of scholarship and liberal culture.
