Excerpt from An Address at the Dedication of the Second Hall of the Goethean Literary Society, of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa;, July 28, 1857
The Hall, however, which was then dedicated to such noble objects, and within whose walls there had afterwards been collected much that was valuable in Literature and Science, was not destined to be the permanent home of the Society. A wider and more attractive Sphere of operations was offered to the Col lege, and alma mater left her retirement to take up her abode nearer the busy haunts of man, - where the pulsations Of energy and progress should directly react upon her children and incite them to such at tainments in study as would most assuredly fit them for manly work in the world. She had been enticed from the shady groves, the verdant meadows inter sected by gay rivulets that babbled as they flowed along, of happiness and peace, - from the Old home with its every nook and corner full of joyous incident and endeared by some fond memory, connected with the past history of those of her children, who were doing honor to her instructions though absent fromthe home circle, - from the grand Old hills that proudly lifted their heads, in the distance, above the picturesque landscapes which surrounded her home, and that seemed to guard the happy retirement from all intrusion Of the world without. There, she had found delight in imparting such counsel as should fit each son with armor, stronger than that made Of triple brass, against the assaults Of the enemies they should meet when their pupilage was over and there, as the time for parting arrived and band after band went forth to take its place amid their breth ren, she bid them God-speed with an anxious and yet a confident belief that His blessing would rest upon their paths, if these should be those of virtue and truth. Duty required her to sacrifice old scenes and Old associations. With a pang of regret for the Past, but with high hopes Of a brilliant Future, she followed the dictates of duty, and took up her abode amid the enterprize and industry of another commu nity, Where strong hands were ready to aid her weak ness and where the benefits of he1 teachings could irradiate from so advantageous a position Z3that the land throughout its extent might enjoy them.
