To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a few years, we, who now per- form this duty of filial observance, shall be as those who are resting beneath us; but our children and our children's children, to the latest generation, will prize this simple memo- rial, first and chiefly for the sake of the hon- oured name which is graven on its face, but with an added feeling of kind remembrance of those who have united to pay this debt of gratitude. " When we think of the mighty importance in our community of the system of public in- struc...tion, and regard the venerable man whom we commemorate as the first to set the exam- ple of contributing liberally for the endowment of places of education (an example faithfully imitated in this region, in almost every suc- ceeding age), we cannot, as patriots, admit that any honour which it is in our power to pay «o 805 JOHN HARVARD AND HIS TIMES to his memory, is beyond his desert. If we further dwell on our own obligation, and con- sider that we ourselves have drunk of the streams that have flowed from this sacred well, — that in the long connection of cause and e£Pect, which binds the generations of men in- dissolubly to each other, it is perhaps owing to his liberality that we have enjoyed the ad- vantages of a public education, — we shall surely feel, as students, that the poor tribute we have united to render to his memory falls infinitely below the measure either of his merit or of our obligation.
