Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A State System of Education for New York: An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of the Rochester University, at Rochester, N. Y., July 11, 1854 Gentlemen of the Literary Societies: I am aware that approved custom and the strict proprieties of this occasion, require a discourse in harmony with the scholastic exercises of the day and the purely intellectual tone of college halls. While I am profoundly sensitive to the attractions of such high themes, - while it would delight me beyond measure to select from among your studies, - from classic pages, from the revealings of science, or the deeper mysteries of philosophic speculation, - the topic for the meditations of the hour, I feel that the studies and the labors of my life have not fitted me for the task. If, therefore, I believed that you expected such a discourse from me, I should feel constrained to impeach the judgment which guided your choice. I prefer to suppose that in selecting an orator from the ranks of those engaged in the struggles and the labors of practical life, you designed to indicate a wish for some subject connected with those interests and partaking of that spirit.
