Yet still he holds his place. Another literary spirit, a freer impulse, greater genius and figures more com- manding and elaborate, appear. But while one lurid Scarlet Letter spells Puritan, and the keen laughter of Hosea Biglow nails fast the counter- feit American, still Rip Van Winkle lounges idfy by, and the vagabond of the Hudson is an unwasting figure of the imagination, the earliest, constant, gentlest satirist of American life. These are but glimpses of the associations of the Hudson Ri...ver. But they show how pecu- liarly identified it is with our history and litera- ture, with our patriotism and national life. It is surely a singular felicity of fortune, that it should be also as intimately associated with the great 28 step of advancing civilization which we celebrate to-day, and that upon the shores of the Hudson should be founded the first amply endowed and adequately organized college for women. Like all important steps of social progress, the rise of such an institution is a development, not a sud- den creation.
