Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of the Universty of Michigan: Held in Commencement Week; June 23 to June 27, 1912 Just as from the beginnings of history men have been prone to characterize the age in which they lived by a phrase expressive of the dominating spirit of their time, so we to-day are constantly attempting to differentiate our age from all previous epochs and to give our day its permanent setting in the world´s history. We call it, according to our viewpoints, an Age of Democracy or an Age of the Absolutism of Wealth, an Age of Brotherhood or an Age of Selfishness, an Age of Thinking and Thinkers or the Age of the Headline, an Age of Reform or an Age of Moral Chaos, an Age of Opportunity or an Age of Shut Doors, a Materialistic Age or an Age of Increasing Spiritual Apprehension and Aspiration. You will not gainsay the fact that each of these conflicting views has its considerable following, and I am confident that you will all agree that we are living in an Age of Unrest, whatever other tendency may characterize our time. In business, mighty projects, such as men hardly dared dream of two decades ago, are set on foot, and we scarce have time to give them a moment´s thought, so intent are we in our own struggles with the new, changing, and often unfriendly conditions of this latter-day commercial life.
