Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Aberdeen University Review, Vol. 8: 1920-21 I Am proud to meet my constituents to-day in such strength and in such a magnificent hall. It is a pleasure that has been deferred, perhaps unduly, but the delay has in no way impaired my appreciation of the honour you conferred upon me when I was elected your Rector. I value that position most highly, and am most truly indebted to you for such a mark of your favour. Having regard to the prevailing upheaval of labour, not only in this country, but generally throughout the world, I have selected for my subject that of "Labour, its Problems, and the Ideal Wage," a subject that I venture to hope will not be considered as being inopportune. It is also a subject on which I ought to be able to speak with knowledge, and that largely based on the experience I have gained in my own business. I may say I have been a day-by-day worker for almost fifty years, years spent in sustained effort in trying to live up to my motto - "Do it with thy might" - in fighting the battle for success against the forces of nature, in creating and controlling many varied and huge undertakings and enterprises, and always in competition with the world. My endeavours have been successful, because I definitely fixed, from time to time, very often years ahead, the goals I was striving for, and perhaps more so, because I have always enjoyed the loyal, devoted, and determined support of my partners, my staff, and of my co-workers, from the highest to the lowest.
