Delivered by the Head Professor of History, Hermann Edouard von Holst, January 2,1892, in Central Music Hall. THE NEED OF UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The stood the test in this country. All com petent and children of this country are sure to have this sentence fair-minded judges will concede that they have just indelibly impressed upon their memory. The history cause to look back with patriotic pride upon the of the United States can not be taught without men­ history of the United States; in other words that, tioning it, and no teacher will mention it, without taking all in all, the claim is well founded as to the inculcating on the youthful minds the overshadowing past. If, however, the assertion is intended to mean political truth contained in the solemn warning. that the past is in itself a sufficient guaranty as to Without fully grasping its import the past can not be the future, I for one am compelled to say, Beware! really understood. On the other hand, however, the No greater danger to the ultimate success of popular present is not understood if one fails to see that, so government in this country is conceivable than the far as this country is concerned, its applicability as a frame of mind from which such a claim would spring. battle - cry is forever gone. In the meaning which it I, too, have always been of the opinion that the United conveyed to the forefathers, it is for Americans in the States were sure to vindicate the cause of democracy main a thing of the dead and buried past. If the in the future, as they have done in the past. To liberty of the people of the United States ever becomes doubt it would be to despair of mankind, for it is endangered it will be by themselves. We need not unquestionable-whether we like it or not-that in stop to ask whether there is anybody else who might the whole civilized world the future belongs to dem­ like to do it, for there is unquestionably no power on ocracy; and in the United States democracy has in all earth-neither without nor within-that could do it, essential respects a better chance, i. e., more favorable if they be but true to themselves. And yet they could conditions to work out the great problem successfully, make no greater, nor more portentous mistake than than it ever can have anywhere else. But if I feel to think that they can with impunity assign the sure that the United States will not disappoint the maxim to the political lumber-room. It still holds hopes they have raised, it is solely because their whole good and will never cease to do so. Only its meaning history vouches for it, that the American people will has become modified in consequence of their being never become intellectually and morally so debauched, themselves the only enemy to be dreaded. Yes, to be as to make such an insane claim the bark on which dreaded indeed, for an overbearing and tyrannical they might venture to weather the storms of the government can be overthrown and hostile armies can future. Not because what they have achieved SUffices, be conquered; but in a democratic republic the people may we confidently look ahead, but because it warrants are irresistible, for they are everything. Therefore the expectation, that they will go on growing with eternal vigilance, constant watching of themselves, is their tasks as they have done heretofore. He must be indispensable, and the only way to watch themselves, blind indeed, who does not see how much they will effectually is to interpret the maxim thus: Incessant stand in need of that. work is the price of Iiberty. I should have studied the history of the United NATIONAL PROBLEMS. States to little purpose for twenty-five years, if I were Americans contend that popular government has to think lightly of what they have accomplished. But 3 4 THE QUARTERLY CALENDAR. with growing knowledge not only my admiration has ocracy work as well with a nation of between one, grown apace. The conviction has steadily grown upon hundred and twenty and one hundred and fifty me and taken deeper root, that what they have done millions, .as it did with a nation of sixty millions, is in thus far have been but easy tasks in comparison to itself no easy task.
