Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ante-Bellum University: Oration Delivered at the Celebration of the Centennial of the University of North Carolina, June 5th, 1895 Ladies and Gentlemen: On the Western horizon of our State, like some vast slumbering Titan, looms above the rolling wilderness of lofty peaks the great form of Grandfather Mountain. From its balsam-clad breast ripple countless rills of pure water, and from the dense laurel at its base rushes a crystal stream, which - wrestling with gnarled tree-trunks, and granite boulders, and leaping precipices, and bursting through rocky barriers - falls among the foot-hills, and, gathering volume in its course through fertile valleys, sweeps, a mighty river, to the sea. Projected in grand proportions upon the morning horizon of our history are the forms of the great and good men, from whose lofty minds and pure hearts flowed the educational influences which, gathering force and conquering all obstacles, swelled into the great stream of this University, which bears those who embark upon it to another boundless sea. How can we pay them adequate tribute? Was not the ancestor-worship of the Hindus the expression of an elevated type of natural religion? It, at least, approximated the truth in that it deified virtue according to their conception of virtue, and was therefore essentially honorable and uplifting. It would improve the religion of some people who live in the light of Christian civilization if they would adopt the Hindu practice, to the extent of cherishing with pride and reverence the memory of their forefathers, and striving to emulate their virtues.
