Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address and Poem: Delivered Before the Columbia College Alumni Association, at Hope Chapel, October, 27, 1858 Occasions like this are in many respects peculiar to this country. Indeed it is only in modern times that educated persons have met together on any considerable scale, for purely intellectual communion and instruction. The great games of Greece were a combination of religious festival and popular amusement. The ruder Romans seem to have collected only for the drama, the sacred rites, or the fierce military sports which crowded their amphitheatres. The Floral Games and Courts of Love were the recreations of an opulent and luxurious aristocracy, that pressed poetry and literature, along with their other vassals, into base and menial service. In more recent times, indeed, the immense development and spread of instruction has greatly changed the character of all intercourse, public no less than private, and now, for several centuries, learned and Royal Societies, Sorbonnes, Institutes, Academies, have, with more or less of pomp and parade, with more or less of kingly and oligarchical patronage, with more or less of devotion to some special branch of knowledge, collected educated and accomplished audiences.
