Description:Excerpt from Public Duties of Educated Men: An Address, Delivered by William F. Herrin, June the 14th, 1910, at Corvallis Oregon, During the Quarter Centennial Jubilee Exercises of Oregon Agricultural College Her, she has won a recognized and enviable place among the colleges of the West. T hirty-seven years is no great stretch of time in the history of an institution, though in the measure and significance of man's life it may count for the greater part. As I stand here today the air seems vibrant with the echoes of half-forgotten yesterdays and the memories of my student life, with its hopes, its trials, and its joys. There comes, too, recollections of the sustained effort required to unlock the treasures of learning, and, when these had been in some part gained, the buoyant hope inspired by real conquest. Now, from the vantage ground of added years and an ampler experi ence, perhaps I am in a better position than those of you who are just on the threshold of life, to judge of the relative values of the things for which men strive. And it seems to me that the rewards of the scholar are more fruitful of real happiness, and make more for permanent satisfaction, than the rewards gained in ordinary business or professional pursuits, for the scholar deals with that learning which is the finer essence of our intellectual life, which has been purified and sifted in quietrooms, to which passing fashions of thought do not penetrate. The pursuit of truth for its own sake brings us to know the human spirit in its unchanged and unchanging nature, to know the things which abide with us, and to reject that which is ephemeral and of only passing interest. In the words of President Wilson of Princeton University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
