Unknown Author

Description:Excerpt from The Spirit of 76 It is a very pleasant task which has been assigned to me this evening, that of preparing the way for my eloquent friend who is to delight you with what I am sure will be a brilliant portrayal of one of the most distinguished founders of our Republic. During four years of educational administration in Nebraska, Mr. Estabrook was one of our Regents, or trustees, and I learned to lean heavily upon him as a support which never failed. I am glad of this opportunity to testify to his unusual intelligence, faithfulness and loyalty in all University affairs. The people of that western commonwealth still owe him a very distinct debt of gratitude for the large and generous service which he then rendered, and my personal and official obligation to him was as great as it was manifest. I beg leave to welcome him to this assembly, as I have already welcomed him to the city, as an American of a type and character all too sadly needed and all too rarely met. There is a certain phase of our history most surely worthy of profound study, without some knowledge of which we may search in vain for a thread to lead us through the labyrinth of later days. Every moment devoted to its consideration throws new light upon all our later struggles. The results of this study are such as to give us, at the same time, hope and courage and fear. It is full of glory, it is full of shame, it is full of reproach, it is full of encouragement, it is full of warning. It is something in our past which is more commanding than the details of our strife with savage nature or with either savage or civilized man. It is that which gives vital force to the life of our people.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
