Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commemorative Address Gentlemen and Ladies, - Twenty-five years have passed since this building was finished and the Institute of Technology was opened, upon a very modest scale and with a very small number of scholars; but the germ was there, and its rapid growth has come from allowing the school to develop by a process of evolution which has accommodated its teaching gradually and surely to the wants of the age, until, although far from perfect, it is to-day in completeness and comprehensiveness of technical instruction unsurpassed, if not unrivalled, by any institution of its kind. The term "Technology" was given it by Dr. Jacob Bigelow, one of its earliest advocates, to represent a new departure in the history of instruction. Previous to this attempt, science had been taught as other branches of polite learning, by the university method, with little profit to the ordinary student; while those who made it their serious study prepared to devote their lives to its service, with no thought of applying it to the affairs of life. Science, pursued for its own sake, had little concern for the demands of trade. Any such partnership was beneath its dignity, and justly so. A great change was approaching, however, in the industries of the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Address Your greatly esteemed invitation, which I could regard but virtually as a complimentary command to appear before you on this occasion, could not fail to bring to my mind another event many years ago, when occupying seat numbered 69, on yonder aisle, the House of Representatives of the Twenty-first Assembly of our State elected me for a far different duty to perform in a matter then pending before the Senate. And scarcely could it have been imagined then that a quarter of a century later, I should be bid den by this Assembly to speak in memory of one who was then my earliest companion in the campaigns of his adopted common wealth, this my own native State. But the destinies of men can seldom be foreseen and fate forever loves to mystify their future and their plans. Nevertheless, it seemed certain to many of us then that Jonathan P. Dolliver was made and marked for eminent success. No words of mine are needed now to fasten up the fame which, by his great abilities, he wrote across the nation's sky. No praises or encomiums are required to carry his illustrious name into the devoted households and the hamlets and the cities of the State of Iowa.

Download or read book Memorial Address Classic Reprint written by Charles N. Fowler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Address The intervening years have only exalted the cause and glorified the names of those whose blood purchased the regeneration of the Republic. Tremendous, indeed, must have been that epoch, which, in the evolution of anglo-saxon liberty, gave to the world Abraham Lin coln, the greatest, the wisest, the noblest, the gentlest, the purest, the sweetest character that has visited this earth since the Son of Man walked the shores of Galilee. The first flowers were strewn by comrades of the dead, bereft Widows, heartbroken mothers and sorrowing brothers and sisters. The flowers strewn to-day will fall not only from the unsteady and tremblinghands of those who can recall that awful conflict, but will be poured out in bounteous profusion from the arms of more than two generations of sons and daughters, who, with grateful recollection and patriotic rever ence bow before the altar made holy by the devotion and blood of the soldiers and sailors of 1861. What association, what man, what woman, what son or daughter would not join with enthusiasm in the ceremonies of this day? Here are the sacred remnants of our army and navy - may they remain long with us! Here is a great concourse of people, individuals vying with organizations, and youth with age, to pay tribute to the memories of those whose sacrifices, however great, no one would now recall. The preservation of the unity of the Republic was essential to the highest and most progressive civilization of the world. One Constitu tion, one liberty and a single destiny alone have made this the most puissant political force on the globe. The influence of our national spirit has touched every source of constitutional and legislative power, and is leading the world to a larger personal liberty and a corresponding personal responsibility. The deeds of our soldiers and sailors are immortalized in their effects upon the welfare of the human race. So long as the children of men shall study the science of self-government, so long will this republic, saved and redeemed by the civil war, be the north star, guiding them into the realms of international unity - into the reign of universal peace. The only true, enduring and eternal monument to our heroes is the respect of all governments and the rev erence of all men for that flag from whose constellation not a single star has ever been, nor shall ever be, erased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Memorial Address The joint Legislative Session was called to order by the President pro tempore of the Senate, Edward L. French, at 11:00 o'clock a. m. Governor Ernest Lister presided over the joint session and introduced Mr. C. P. Bissett, who addressed the assembly as follows: Your Excellency, Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Washington, ladies and gentlemen: I would be a strangely constituted man if I were not thankfully appreciative of the distinguished honor which the Legislature of the State of Washington has conferred upon me, in requesting me to appear before them to speak of him, whose name and fame reverberate this day, and every day, around the great world. I am deeply sensible of the inadequacy of my intellectual attainments; but I recognize the fact that your interest is not in me, or in any poor words that I may utter, but is in him, whose day this is. On February 12th, 1809, a child was born in whose veins flowed the pure blood of protest against every form of despotism and oppression. That child was Abraham Lincoln. The most exhaustive research, bearing upon his lineage, fails to reveal among his ancestors anyone foreign to the Anglo-Saxon race. In him, met and commingled the sturdy Puritan Roundhead of Massachusetts and the chivalric cavaliers of old Virginia. Back of that, the line leads to the two divisions of England's best blood, facing each other in the historic War of the Roses.

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.

Lower of the two; but there are in every age and place the great men of that time, qnd their place is nearer the summit. Assuredly I need not fear that it will be thought to be the language of flattery or panegyric, if it be said that he whose death we have met this day to com memorate had his own place among great men. For he was a great man, if eminent abilities, carefully cultivated and industriously exercised, and occupying a large field of action with great labor and great suc cess, and filling a wide and ever widening sphere with his renown, could constitute a claim to great ness. It is many Weeks since he died; but even now distant echoes still reach us, and tell us that his fame at home has gone abroad, and was welcomed and accepted there as true and genuine fame.

Upon him the commander-in-chief leaned as upon no other. At Cerro Gordo he was brevetted Major for exceptional gallantry. At Contreras and Cherubusco he was officially proclaimed for meritorious conduct, and on account Of a wound received in the assault on Chapultepec, September 13th, 1847, he was given his promotion to lieutenant-colonel. It was at Contreras, when the army was baffled, that the quick eye of Lee discovered, by a daring reconnaissance, a line of approach hidden from the enemy by which the position might be taken. This the Commander in Chief Of the army characterized as the greatest feat Of physical and moral courage performed by any individual dur ing the entire campaign.
