Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University: A Semi-Centennial Historical Discourse; October 28, 1897 This is the hour for congratulation and recollections. It is our privilege to look backward over the path of half a century and to trace the steps, often slow but never devious, by which the penniless, nameless and homeless offspring of an ancient and vigorous stock has attained commanding influence, rich in possessions, beloved by thousands of followers, honored wherever known, and still with the fresh enthusiasm of youth, aiming at lofty ideals, attractive as the face of nature, varied and comprehensive as the laws by which this world is governed. It would be easy, and it might be profitable, to engage in an exclusive commemoration of those who have made this institution, and to bring forward reminiscences of incidents and events - some of them truly romantic - which illustrate the progress of its remarkable life; yet the dignity of this assembly, the presence of so many persons from a distance, and the relation of the Sheffield School to higher education in the United States forbid such limitations.
