Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania In most of the colleges of the United States, societies have been formed by the students, which, in some instances, have existed for many years, and have exerted a very favourable influence over the fortunes of the respective establishments with which they have been connected. Of their beneficial effects, when properly regulated, we have satisfactory evidence in the encouragement which they receive from the college officers, who are best qualified to form a correct judgment of their tendency and operation. Nor is it difficult to discover in what their usefulness consists. By fostering a spirit of honorable emulation, they support and invigorate those exertions in the acquisition of knowledge, which, if not properly encouraged, are too apt to yield to the seduction of youthful pleasures, or to languish under the influence of an indolent disposition. They produce a union of feeling and sentiment, which amalgamates their members into one body; which teaches each individual to connect his own honour with that of his community; and excites him to such circumspection of conduct, and diligence in study, as may serve to maintain if not to exalt its reputation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania: On the Occasion of Its Semi-Centennial Celebration, October 6th, 1863 There upon that wall hangs the portrait of one more youth ful in face and form. He too lent the powers of his cultivated mind to the promotion of the interests of this Institution. Amidst other embodiments of gen1us and acquirement he stood like some exquisitely cut statue of the purest marble the representative of purity and learning. Many men of intellect and erudition have occupied the chair of Mental and Moral philosophy in this and kindred Institutions, whose names have been interwoven with thesubjects of which they treated, but for discriminating judgment, severe taste, ele gance of expression, beauty of thought, and the loftiest dignity of a refined manner, the late Professor Henry Reed stands unrivalled. In grateful remembrance of his devotion to her interests, history has inscribed his name among those who have won immortality. And nature's light, in remembrance of the worshipper who bowed at her shrine, writes upon the crests of the rolling billows in letters of golden lustre the epitaph of him who sleeps amidst the corals and the pearls beneath.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Before the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania It was a happy inspiration which first suggested the delivery of these addresses. Happy it must be for you thus to be assured of sympathy from your elder brothers in study, and happy, I am sure, for us, who, covered with the dust of crowded thoroughfares, and worn with the burdens of public duty, are permitted to separate ourselves, though but for a brief hour, from the busy people, and retire again within the cool grove of academic life. We may not be allowed to say that we envy you your fresh spirits and classic exercitations, for it were unmanly and unchristian to shrink, even in thought, from the offices which God and our fellow men require at our hands, and sobriety of zeal best becomes them; but you cannot know, until you have felt it, the zest with which memory turns in after life to our growing years, and the intellectual Palæstra, where in generous emulation we trained the sinews of our youthful minds, and warmed the courage of our hearts for the serious struggles of active manhood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oration De Mysteriis of Andocides: Translated by a Committee of the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania Owing to the colloquial language in which the speech was delivered, it does not readily lend itself to a trans lation into the most polished English, as do the speeches of the greater orators. Unwilling to materially alter the style Of Andocides, your Committee, although they feel that the result leaves much to be desired, have followed the text closely, employing idiomatic expressions only in those places where the context seemed to especially demand them. Like wise, ln accordance with the advice Of authorities upon the subject, the Greek proper names have been rendered by their Latin equivalents, which are more natural and familiar.
