Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses at the Inauguration of Jared Sparks, LL. D : As President of Harvard College, Wednesday, June 20, 1849 The close connection of Harvard College with the intellectual culture of this community, from the first settlement of the country, has made the institution an object of interest, pride, and hope to the friends of education, science, and letters. Coeval with the State, the College has grown with its growth and strengthened with its strength. The munificence of enlightened citizens has enlarged its means of usefulness from time to time, expanding the school our fathers founded into a University, which embraces a comprehensive range of instruction and research in almost every branch of literature, science, and professional studies. The office of President becomes, under these circumstances, one of ever-increasing importance, requiring weight of character, great experience, various learning, comprehensive views, and a clear insight into the literary and scientific progress and wants of the times. The scope of liberal education enlarges with the enlarging spirit of intellectual culture, which marks the character of an age of unexampled intellectual activity. Wisely to conduct an institution for public education in such a period, so as, on the one hand, not to yield too much to plausible innovations, and, on the other hand, not to stand too rigidly by the condition of things in the past, is a task requiring firmness, moderation, persuasive powers, and a conciliating spirit. The choice of a President must therefore be a matter of great responsibility to the appointing power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
