Excerpt from The University of Virginia: Jefferson Its Father, and His Political Philosophy, An Address Delivered Upon the Occasion of the Dedication of the New Buildings of the University, June 14, 1898But another stroke of adversity awaited it, this time, not from the hostile passions of man, but from the rage of the elements, less savage indeed, but not less unsparing. Its very walls were laid in ruins and their precious treasures wasted. But if any evidence were needed to show the extent to which the University had increased in power, in grandeur, in usefulness, and in the esteem of the people of Virginia and the friends everywhere of the higher education, it would be found in the undaunted Spirit with which this disaster was faced. There was an immediate resolve that it should rise from its ashes in yet fairer proportions, more worthy ofthe spirit in which it was originally founded, better equipped for the great work to which it was originally dedicated, and a more glorious monument to the great name forever associated with it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
