Address of Professor George Herbert Palmer, at the Charter Day Exercises, March 23, 1917 (Classic Reprint) by George Herbert Palmer PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Address of Professor George Herbert Palmer, at the Charter Day Exercises, March 23, 1917 I know how eager he was to visit you and am sure that nothing but a sense of public duty could have held him back. Called on, as I then am, in this sudden eclipse of your hopes, to send out some few rays of compensatory light. I have wondered from what source the necessary illuminating oil could be drawn. My subject must be one of common interest to you and to myself - one, too, in which, through previous acquaintance, I shall not be unduly disturbed by the absence of hooks and papers. Such a subject I seem to myself to have found in him who stands as the patron saint of your city and at the same time as one of the supporters of my own philosophic studies, George Berkeley. When the trustees of the College of California decided to move their little institution from Oakland to a more permanent and ample site on these wooded hills, they rightly anticipated that before long a large city would grow up around them. How should it be called? Many proposals were made by Frederick Law Olmsted, and others, none of them satisfactory, until Frederick Billings, a leader among the trustees, proposed the name of Berkeley. It was at once seen that this name precisely expressed the ideals which they desired for their new city. They meant that this place should be a place consecrated to thoughtful study, to public spirit, to the enthusiasm of humanity; and where else could so admirable a defender of these things be found as in the great English idealist? On the whole, their forecasts have been justified. Berkeley has been true to these lofty aims. But how often have you connected these matters with him in whom they originally appeared? How many are there in this audience who could state with any fullness the events of that picturesque career?
