Book Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Association of the Alumni of Harvard College, July 20, 1854 Mr. President and Gentlemen: - As I entered the harbor of Boston, after an absence of more than a year; as I gazed upon the islands and shores reposing under a lovely evening sky in May, and upon the lighted mansions, where happiness and freedom nestle secure; as, an hour after, the halls of Harvard greeted my view, and the lights from students' rooms, and from the dwellings of friends and neighbors, streamed through the evening air, the familiar lines of the poet involuntary moved harmonious numbers in my memory: - "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land; Whose heart hath ne'er within him horned, As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand?" But scarcely landed from an Atlantic voyage, I was waylaid by your committee, and ordered to stand and deliver - an oration. To me who am no orator, as so many Brutuses I see around me are, the order was sufficiently formidable, but not to be evaded.

The Culture of Classicism

Book Description
Winner of the New Scholars Book Award from the American Educational Research Association Debates continue to rage over whether American university students should be required to master a common core of knowledge. In The Culture of Classicism: Ancient Greece and Rome in American Intellectual Life, 1780–1910, Caroline Winterer traces the emergence of the classical model that became standard in the American curriculum in the nineteenth century and now lies at the core of contemporary controversies. By closely examining university curricula and the writings of classical scholars, Winterer demonstrates how classics was transformed from a narrow, language-based subject to a broader study of civilization, persuasively arguing that we cannot understand both the rise of the American university and modern notions of selfhood and knowledge without an appreciation for the role of classicism in their creation.
