Description:Excerpt from An Address: Delivered Before the University of Nebraska, at Its Third Annual Commencement, June 23, 1874 Exceeding 10th as I would be to forego the honor proffered me by the Faculty of the University of Nebraska, yet I cannot but regret that the invitation had not been extended to another, and that one more capable to perform the task allotted to me was not to address you this evening. It has not been my good fortune, either from personal visits or from the reports of those interested, to know much of the plan and workings of this institution; but to me sufficient warrant that it is all it could reasonably be expected to be, is the fairly earned and well established reputation of those who have had its interests in charge, and under whose efficient care the experiment, inaugurated but three years ago, is fast ripening into richly deserved and fully assured success. I extend to you my heartfelt congratulations upon the fact. The people of this youngest of states point to this youngest of state universities with well grounded pride and excusable boasting. Cause for pride, indeed, is there in its establishment and operation: pride in the government that with such bountiful hand has given the noble patrimony of fertile acres, forming the rich endowment that makes a free university possible; pride in the State that, mindful of its mighty future, is quick to take advantage of the opportunity for great good, and gives the aid of its best brain power to advise and plan for the most judicious expenditure of the rich treasure bestowed; pride in the corps of hard working, efficient teachers who, using the bountiful means, by loving labor bring about the glorious end; pride in the pupils, alive to their opportunity, who supplement the teacher's labor by the studious application and aptness of the taught. Teacher and pupil! Old-fashioned words almost lost and obsolete in the high sounding and stilted titles of to-day. How dear the relationship they express. How great a privilege have those whose moulding, shaping hand forms and creates the carefully educated, thoroughly disciplined, self-reliant man, leader of his race and kind. A modern writer expresses the idea most aptly, if oddly: "The spirit suckles; the intelligence is a breast.
