Excerpt from Science and Scientific Schools: An Address Before the Alumni of Yale College, at the Commencement Anniversary, August, 1856
These annual pilgrimages over the breadth of the land to the groves of our Alma Mater have deep meaning. No duties of penance, nor hopes of ghostly reward, turn hither your steps. Thoughts of the past possess the soul, rather than care for the future: the familiar faces, the old red buildings, the sheltering trees, and the scenes of mirth, of friendship, or of serious effort, here enacted. Still more stirring is the consciousness with each of us, that amid these groves the mind first rose into manhood, and collected strength for the conflicts of life - the mind's birth place,-should not the spot be honored?
