Webster detected and brought out as the most illegal and dangerous feature of the measure, while he also discussed the general policy in its fullest extent. In 1809 he spoke before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, upon "The State of our Literature," an address without especial interest except as showing a very marked improvement in style, due, no doubt, to the influence of Mr. Mason.
The "storm in our wash-bowl" which followed this Divinity School address, the letters of remonstrance from friends, the advertisements by the Divinity School of "no complicity," must have been cheering to Emerson. His unseen yet dominating ambition is shown throughout the address, and in this note in his diary of the following year: "August 31. Yesterday at the Phi Beta Kappa anniversary.
It is on the same lofty plane of sentiment and in the same exalted tone of eloquence as the Phi Beta Kappa Address. The word impassioned would seem misplaced, if applied to any of Mr. Emerson's orations. But these discourses were both written and delivered in the freshness of his complete manhood.
But although devoting most of his attention to much-needed remeasurements of known pairs, he incidentally divided no less than 274 stars, the majority of which lay beyond the resolving power of less keen and effectually aided eyesight. Another pair, Kappa Pegasi, detected in 1880, was found in 1892 to have more than completed a circuit in the interim.
The change in the system and the introduction of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and similar organizations after 1907 resulted in a marked alteration in the attitude toward study and has undoubtedly raised appreciably the general level of scholarship.
The great Commencement event of the Summer was Wendell Phillips's oration at the centennial anniversary of the venerable Phi Beta Kappa at Cambridge. It was also the semi-centenary of the orator's graduation at Harvard, and there was great anticipation, not only because Mr. Phillips is now in many ways the first orator of his time, but because his alma mater has not sympathized with his career.
A Course of Lectures on the Nature and Ends of History. Address on War. Death of Edward Bliss Emerson. Death of Charles Chauncy Emerson. Section 3. Publication of "Nature." Outline of this Essay. Its Reception. Address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Section 1. In the year 1833 Mr. Emerson visited Europe for the first time.
At the approach of all such things he must have acquired the habit of the modest cough, the infectious trick of the nice evasion. How can "Kappa" expect inspiration from the decorous resultants who satisfy these conditions? What brand can ever be lit at altars that have borne no fire?
Address at a Meeting of the Free Religious Association. "Progress of Culture." Address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University. Course of Lectures in Philadelphia. The Degree of LL.D. conferred upon Emerson by Harvard University. "Terminus." The "Boston Hymn" was read by Emerson in the Music Hall, on the first day of January, 1863.
It blazes a path along which investigators are eagerly following. Boyce, in his Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard in 1911, declared James to be the third representative philosopher whom America has produced. He had the form of philosophy as Emerson never had. He could realise whither he was going, as Emerson in his intuitiveness never did. He criticised the dominant monism in most pregnant way.
