Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermon: And Oration and Poem, Class of 1867 The prime object of a liberal education is not the imparting of certain kinds or degrees of knowledge, but the development of an advanced type of manliness, - the culture of those attributes by which a man may take and keep the high place assigned him by his Creator, as lord of this lower world, and the destined heir of a far nobler inheritance hereafter. These attributes are both of mind and of heart. It is chiefly with the former that we have been concerned in our course of academic instruction. You are already aware, and will become still more so, that you have learned but little here. What I trust you have attained is the capacity of learning, the skill to find what you need or wish to know, and the power of analyzing, combining, generalizing, assimilating, and re-creating - in forms that bear the signature of your own minds - whatever you do know or shall know. It is not in any definite amount of knowledge, but in the ability to acquire and use knowledge, that a liberal education consists. This ability is the token and measure of a manly intellect, of mastership over resources, of lordship in the realm of mind.
