Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New University A year ago we were listening to an address, which threw into new beauty and living relief the ancient arts we cultivate, a study and a discipline where our subjects and models are the expressive monuments of the heart and mind of man. Professor Raleigh´s Chair to-day is vacant. He has gone, as he might say himself, to a richer sphere of usefulness in the University by the Clyde from the evangelic poverty of the Mersey. Whether in our Faculty of Arts, which without him would never have been, the birththroe in the evolution of a University, or on Senate, or in the City, let us remember that his voice was everywhere for light, honour, and liberty. That brilliant humour, like wings of cavalry, swept and harassed. His sympathetic study of R. L. Stevenson, a kindred temper, his early manual of the English novel, the fantasy on Style, - a streaming banner of a Faculty of Arts, - the limpid erudition of the Courtier, the recent lectures on Milton, a tribute reverent and free to that inaccessible majesty of melody, were work such as might come from any Faculty, however ancient, such indeed as establishes a seat of learning in a city of which it is the pride. At Easter the first of our number died, Mr. R. A. M. Stevenson, formerly Professor of Fine Art, whose subtle influence is now on every English page, a master of aesthetic criticism. The intimate and peer of some of the first painters and writers of France and England, Stevenson passed here amid the blind alleys and purlieus of a local College, without classroom, equipment, or estimation.
