Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse Delivered Before the Society of the Alumni of Harvard University: At Their First Anniversary, August 23, 1842, Being the Close or the Second Century After the First Was Graduated Gentlemen, There are few occasions, on which we could have been assembled, which would awaken more varied feelings, or possess a more profound interest, than that, which now brings us together. We stand here at the distance of two hundred years, upon the very spot, where stood the first class, having completed their academical course, ready to receive the earliest honors of this our parent University. From the pious lips of the first President, whose remains lie in the neighbouring churchyard, they received their farewell benediction, - in the presence of the venerable founders of the colony, - amidst the deep shades of the surrounding forests, - and under the roof of the simple edifice, first reared to God and the Church in this stranger land. Few, indeed, were they in number, but not faint or faltering in the support of religion and learning. The little Band of Nine may well be presumed upon that occasion to have sought utterance of their own thoughts in the very language of the Governor of the Colony (a short time afterwards) in his appeal to the General Court for aid to the College. "If this work of the College be thought fit to be upheld and continued, as we hope, that considerations of the glory of God, the honorable interest of the country, the good of all posterity, and the experience of the benefits and blessings thereof, will constrain all men to say, it is, then something must effectually be done for help in the premises." And that something (said these youths) must be done by us, that we may establish the foundations, and perpetuate the fame, of this Institution.
