Book Description
Excerpt from Address Before the Alumni Association of the University of North Carolina: Delivered in Gerard Hall, June 2, 1847, the Evening Preceding Commencement The Press began its work in 1639 a century afterwards it had earned the prohibitibn of England, and was strong enough to defy ii and at this day, it asserts its freedom by an influence which is only not despotic because it is not harmonious. 'far outstripping by its enterprise the fertility of our own writers, the American press appropriates unshrinkingly the literary treasures of the whole earth while it almost' forbids Importation of books by the cheap ness with which it reprints them, and the facility with which it scatters them among all classes of the reading community.' But the most striking displays of its activity and power are only to be witnessed in the field of Journalism, where it more than equals France in knows no other rival throughout the world. It printed the first newspaper in America in the year 1704; in 1828 it had joined an additional number of eight hundred and fifty and, at this day, it acts upon the popular mind through the teeming columns of more than two thousand journals. Sharing, as well as stimulating, the progressive spirit of the age, it advances into the wilderness with our hardy pioneers keeps company with our commerce among the islands of the sea; and contends for supremacy with the sword upon every battle-field which is won by our victorious arms. Already it sends us shipping lists from the Sandwich Islands, chronicles the news of the day in La Vera Cruz, and echoes back the thunder of our cannon from the shores of the far Pacific. Becoming thus the missionary as well as the schoolmaster of republicanism, it plants among other nations the seeds of freedom, which it has itself ripened upon our soil; and having first contributed to the glory of America at home, it crowns its labor of patriotism by making it better known, and therefore more honored, abroad.

Book Description
Excerpt from Address Before the Alumni Association of the University of North Carolina, June 2, 1903 When I was a student here about fifteen years ago, many of the college boys and a considerable number of their fathers invariably smiled when a young alumnus arose to address an audience and introduced his remarks with allusions to Classic halls and memories dear. Such salutations were permissible only in great orators, and in men whose fore heads were silvered o'er with age. It has, therefore, seemed advisable to me, a mere private in the ranks of speakers, and still painfully young, to bring myself into touch with the occasion by relating a little story that may be of interest to many of you. Maybe it has something to do With my presence here to-day, and maybe it will throw some light upon the erection of one of the recent adornments to this beautiful Campus.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni and Graduating Class of the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, on the Afternoon of June Third, 1841 There is one feeling of disappointment, which every young man, who-exchanges the seclusion of a college for the hustle and business of the world, is bound to meet and endure. He finds the weapons of col lege warfare are not those precisely suited to collisions with men in active life. His Diploma, for which he so long labored, and for which he burned the midnight lamp, and surrendered so many hours, which in vain allured him to idleness and pleasure, he finds entitles him. To but a small share of the honor and consideration of the world, which he had fondly anticipated. He comes at length to see. In it but the cer tificate from his masters, of an apprenticeship honorably ended, author izing him to commence work on his own account. His classical lore which was to be the open sesame to honor and consideration, he carries to a market where few appreciate, and stillfewer will purchase. His small stock of literature and science, which he has collected with toil and gloated over with the feelings of the miser, when he surveys his hidden gold, is converted by the disenchanting touch of the world, into rubbish and stone, not equal to the purchase of one poor penny's worth of bread. He finds that all these things have no exchangeable value, though his after experience teaches him, that they are not with out their use. The mental training which he has received in'their ao quisition, has imparted powers which properly exercised, may enable him to win any prize which he may choose to run for; as the exercise of the chase, where the deer or the boar is the only enemy, may so strengthen the thews and sinews, so nerve the courage, and so sharpen the sagacity, as to qualify the Vota'ry, for the more severe and arduous duties of war.
