To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In solving the questions which I have brought before you there is supreme need of faith and courage. It is no task for faltering pessimists. I rejoice that Yale looks forward with confidence, not backward with regret. At times like this I recall the remark of Sir Edward Elgar, to whom Yale gave the degree of Doctor of Music not long ago. When the ceremonies were concluded he said to some friends substantially these words: "The last degree that I received was from one of the great universities o...f the old world. There everything spoke of the past. Here everything speaks of the present. And, gentlemen, the present is n8 The Winter Dinners best. " To those who think only of the "good old days'* I commend the inspiring optimism of President Dwight. As often as I think of his horizon, ever widened by higher faith and deeper vision, I recall Browning's words: " Grow old along with me ! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith, 'A whole I planned, Youth shows but half ; trust God : see all, nor be afraid !' " Does not that last line pulse the very spirit of Yale 'Trust God, see all, nor be afraid" faith courage vision !
