Synopsis
Excerpt from Commemoration Address on the Seventieth Anniversary of the Founding of Knox College and the City of Galesburg: Delivered at Galesburg, Illinois, Wednesdsay, June 12th, 1907
But for the youth of that class who, like my self, chanced to live in Galesburg, the choice was easier and more certain. Before the eye and the imagination of such a boy there stood in daily attitude of inspiration the old college building. To him it was the brick-and-mortar incarnation of learning itself. Behind its modest walls the world-compelling secret of Knowledge dwelt, and at its doors Invitation on tip-toe beckoned him to its possession. If only he could but pass the fearsome dragon yclept Entrance Examina tion, that stood guard at the gates, the key and the scepter of Power would be within his grasp.
