Social Classes: An Oration Delivered Before the General Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Social Classes: An Oration Delivered Before the General Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania
WE are gathered here from successive college classes, and years, and generations. The past and the future concentrate in this hour. The occasion awakens, at once, memory and hope. Some of you are about to exchange the retreats sacred to study for the jostling world; to step from the gymnasium into the arena. You are eagerly looking forward. Hope, that most skill ful artist of the ideal, composes a future for you more glowing than the figures of Titian, and sunnier than the landscapes of Claude. You fancy yourselves plumed to soar like the falcon when the leash is slipped. Heaven grant that you may realize your hopes if not the very matter of them, at least their equivalent!
