Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Association of Alumni of Yale College The excellence of the English university system rests not then on its furnishing a thorough scientific education; this is neither its avowed nor its real design. It fits the sons of the aristocracy and hundreds also from other classes, annually, for an entrance upon active life in Eng land; each to take the sphere which is then assigned to him, or to force his way to a still higher one by his own intense efforts, in the most artificial state of society which exists on earth. The standard, whether elevated or low, has been graduated for England alone: the tutor instructs, and the pupil studies, usually with no other aim.

This book was released on 2018-12-09 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Alumni Association of Marshall College, September 27th, 1842 All truth must be contemplated as it exists in itself or objectively, and as it exists in the sphere of mind or subjectively as it exists in itself, it is the object upon which the powers of the intellect are ex ercised, and as it exists in the sphere of mind, it constitutes a part of the general life of the individual. There is a world without us, and a world within us; the one is the exact counterpart of the other. Mind must approach and reproduce the object in itself thus the ob ject may obtain an existence in the subject; in the one case truth ex ists in reality according to its own nature, in the other it exists in idea, modified by individuality. Truth in itself is absolutely independent of mind for it is what it is because it has proceeded directly from God as its original ground hence its nature, its laws and its end are the same whether it is apprehended and imbibed by the mind of man or not. But the laws of mind are in perfect harmony with the nature of truth. Since, therefore, it is endowed with powers precisely adapt ed in their nature to the perception and reproduction of objective truth, an idea can be formed of a single one or of any number of truths as they are in themselves and whenthis idea, formed by logical think ing, corresponds in every respect with the object of thought, the mind possesses that kind of knowledge which is called Science. Science has consequently a principle and life of its own which must develope itself organically. The spirit and laws of Science cannot be any thing different from the nature of truth, objectively considered. For a thing' must come to exist in'the sphere of mind by inductive reasoning as it exist in itself, before the mind can be said to possess a true idea of it. The principle and laws of Science are therefore independent of the arbitrary determination of man. These can only be determined by truth, considered as the object of thought. Hence mind must be regarded not as the arbiter but as the servant of Science. The objective world, independent in its origin, spirit and end of the will of man, possesses a life and laws of its own, which it is obligatory upon mind to enter and reproduce. What then is the simple collection of facts according to the succession of What the nice arrangement of known truths in accordance with a plan, call ed a system, that has been sketched by human understanding, With out regarding the necessity xlyingin the subject of investigation, which alone can determine the proper form of a science? Destitute. Of theprinciple which a science is required to have - destitute of the com. Mon life which must pervade all theparts constituting the whole, and destitute of the proper relation which all the parts must sustain to each other and to the common principle; such systems, although they may tell with powerful effect upon the character and destinies of men, can nevertheless lay no claim to possessing the true spirit of science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni Association of Nassau-Hall WE have come, my friends, to revisit together the scene of our early studies. Since last we parted here, time and distance have widely separated us -the world and the world's cares have engrossed us - death with no sparing hand has been amongst us, - but we have at length returned, probably for the last time, to mingle our remembrances of the living and our regrets over the departed. At such an hour what can I say to you which your own hearts have not anticipated? We stand here - ou this narrow strait which separates the long past from the brief futurity which awaits us - a feeble group, the wreck of so many argosies that spread their young and venturous sails on the wide ocean of life, freighted with light hearts, too early overclouded - and buoyant hopes too soon quenched beneath its waves. How often as the storms of life assailed them, would they gladly have turned for shelter to this quiet haven which they left so impatiently, as the prisoned eagle, who chafes his breast against the bars, which keep him from the green fields and the gay flowers of spring, would, as the clouds of winter gather round him, take refuge in the solitary nest which his young hopes deserted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commemorative Address: Before the Graduates of Yale University, June 23, 1895 Professor Whitney was elected to fill the chair which he held in the University on the l0th of May, 1854. His term of service, accordingly, may be regarded as having begun with the opening of the academic year 1854 - 55. The election of Professor Dana had taken place already four years earlier, in August, 1850, but for special reasons he did not enter upon the duties of instruction connected with his office until 1855. The two men thus came into the sphere of the University life, as active workers in it, as if at one and the same moment. It is interesting to think of them as they were at this time, andalso to recall to mind, in some measure, what was the condition of the institution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to Dr. Bushnell, of Hartford, on the Rationalistic, Socinian and Indfidel Tendency of Certain Passages: In His Address Before the Alumni of Yale College Now Sir, I venture to say that the very first perusal of this paragraph leaves the disagreeable impression, on the mind of any person who has looked at all into infidel wri ters, that it strangely symbolizes with their trains of thought and modes of reasoning. Mr. Hume opens the first section of his Natural History of Religion, in these words It appears to me, that if we consider the improvement of human society, from rude beginnings to a state of greater perfection, polytheism or idolatry was, and necessarily must have been, the first and most ancient religion of A little farther on, he continues; It seems certain, that, according to the natural progress of human thought, the ignorant multitude must first entertain some grovelling and familiar notions of superior powers, before they stretch their conception to that perfect Being who bestowed order on the whole frame of nature; We may as'reasonably imagine that men inhabited palaces before huts and cottages, or studied geometry before agriculture as assert that the De ity appeared to them a pure spirit, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, before he was apprehended to be a pow erful though limited being, with human passions and appe tites, limbs and organs. The mind gradually rises from in ferior to superior by abstracting what is imperfect, it an idea of perfection and slowly distinguishing the nobler parts of its own frame from the grosser, it learns to transfer only the former much elevated and refined, to its All this appears to be perfectly identical with your theory of the progress of religion from the physical to the spiritual. Much more might be alleged from the same work, to the same purpose. But it is needless, for the work is only a development of the positions laid down in the extracts just given, and I must refer you to itself for the complete carrying out of the principles which you have advanced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Address Before the Graduates of Yale University: June 24, 1890 What an interesting day that autumn day was, when viewed as the opening of the coining time. It was the beginning of a life-course, whose record will ever remain as a cherished possession of this home of learning. The youth, who passed within the gates as its hours were closing, was in later years the man whom we revered as he walked along his scholarly and Christian way, beneath the elms, and ever turned our thoughts to the higher things. We may trace the influences which rested upon him as he entered on his College life as far back as the earliest days of the College history. In the year 1709, his great-grandfather on the paternal side took his Bachelor's degree from the Collegiate school which had been founded only nine years before. Eleven years later, in 1720, his ancestor of the same generation on the maternal side, was sent forth as a young graduate to begin his illustrious career. It seems more than a fancy or a dream of the imagination that, from these two men, there came down, through the century that intervened, the power which made his life what it was, and was to be. The intellectual and spiritual force which dwelt in Jonathan Edwards, and constituted the grand inheritance that he gave to his children, may well have passed, in somewhat of its fullness, to this descendant of his family, as it had done to others in an earlier generation. And the inspiration of the genuine spirit of the College itself could scarcely have failed to come to him from one who had breathed it into himself at the very beginning, as had Benjamin Woolsey. The youth had surely a noble birth-right, and there was, as we might almost say, a Divine pointing, far away in the distance, toward the sphere and the character of his work, when the time for it should arrive. With these influences of the past, those which surrounded him as he began his course of study in the College must have cooperated most happily.
