Description

Excerpt from Addresses and Papers: 1908 1909 The candidates for degrees today may be comforted with the assurance that in their triumphant university hour they are not to be oppressed with admonition and preachment. I come to you with a little of the feeling of Dr Henry Van Dyke, who once said something to the effect that he stopped preaching to a great New York city church and went down to Princeton to teach the boys, because he felt the irony of exhortation or argument with veteran parishioners who had been many times saved or were apparently past all hope. Your new found veteran standing shall exempt you. Your degrees will evidence your secular salvation, and even though you were limping spiritually, as I do not suppose you are, benevo lent words would seem commonplace today. The theme of the hour shall be academic freedom and the limits of conduct which will let the truth thrive. The literature of the subject is prolific but there is no clamor in the forum just now. There has been no recent crucifixion without cause. There is no one in the stocks. There is no impending trial. There is no omi nous raven on a bust of the goddess of wisdom above the chamber door. Freedom may be discussed with freedom. An academic question may be treated in an academic way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
