Excerpt from The Communion of Scholars, Visible and Invisible: An Address Delivered Before the Philokalian and Philomathean Societies of St. John's College at Annapolis, Maryland, on the Evening of July 25th, 1871
I come to speak as a senior brother to junior brethren, for tonight our first thought is due to the common Al ma Mater whom we together hold in highest reverence. Though banded in two distinct fraternities, you each delightedly confess a common homage to her as together you bend at her knee.
The companionships of college life! How dear they have been, how dear they are to you now, how dear they will be when, for some of you, the links of the golden chain shall be broken on the morrow; and in the long years they shall grow only the dearer as seen through the mystic twilight of memory, investing them with the halo and consecration of a school boy's dream. The ties which here knit heart to heart shall never be loosed by the hand of Time, but are destined to run, like a silver cord, through the whole tissue of your after life. Dear will be the recollections of your common college home, dear the memory of classmates, dear the comrades of the base-ball ground, dear the song Of the boat-club, with its row, brothers, row, but, in some respects, dearer than all are the sacred bonds which have made you brethren of the same Literary Society, partakers in the same high mysteries known only to the initiate few.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book eloquently explores the idea of an invisible communion of scholars across time and the profound impact of this shared intellectual and spiritual journey. The author argues that the insights, ideas, and creations of great minds do not perish with their physical forms but live on as a dynamic force that shapes and inspires subsequent generations. The book examines historical examples of literary clubs, philosophical societies, and monastic communities that fostered this sense of connection and intellectual exchange. It delves into the concept of a "visible" communion among scholars within institutions and the transformative power of the "invisible" communion that transcends time and space. The author highlights the importance of preserving and transmitting the legacy of great thinkers, as their words and ideas continue to resonate with and guide us today. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the enduring power of scholarship and the profound interconnectedness of the human intellect throughout history.
