To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To omit them is to ig- nore the vital relation existing between God and man, and the part that religion and religious be- liefs have played in the development of the race. To fail to give to our young men a sense and ap- preciation of the dynamic force of religious faith in the progress of human affairs, is to leave them ignorant of the greatest and most profound fact in history. If, in what I have said, I have seemed to some of you to have omitted the praise due to this, our beloved institutio...n, for past achievement and for peculiar fitness to perform her part of the supreme duty resting upon the American college, it is from no lack of appreciation or affection, but rather that I might emphasize the universal character of the obligation. All that can v^th propriety be said on this occasion is, that the founder of Williams Col- lege was a soldier-citizen, who shortly before his 66 INDUCTION OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD death on the battlefield, in 1755, made provision by will for the establishment of a free school in this place, and that from the beginning of its ex- istence until now, Williams College has taught the obligations of citizenship.
