Excerpt from An Oration Delivered at Cambridge: Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society in Harvard University, August 29, 1844 Pardon the professional bias, if it be one, which leads to. This choice. I know I am not placed here to moralize, nor do I intend. To preach. Here and now let intellectual interests stand foremost in our regards. We Wlll take counsel for these. Let intel lect be recognized as king in man. Let virtue step. Down from the throne, and put off the crown with which God has invested her, and take the place of handmaid to her vassal. Sovereign as she is, she is the willing servant of all in her realm, and delighteth to minister. My position is, that there are moral conditions on which the best and healthiest intellectual culture de pends; that the intellect needs nourishment and guidance from those ideas and affections, which have conscience for their centre, and duty and virtue for their object, and recognized spiritual relations for a deep, substantial basis; that the moral elements of character are necessary to the truest, most desirable success in study and literature. This position I would illustrate and maintain not now for righteousness' sake, but for the sake of the intellect.
