Synopsis
Excerpt from Discourse: Delivered Before the Graduating Class of the College of Charleston, at Their Request, in the College Chapel, February 23d, 1851
If the soul feels that it must labor only for fame-that it has powers to achieve it - and that fame is the end, and Object, and goal of its toil - that object it may attain but it will accomplish no great work which Humanity will revere and cherish as a glory and benefit to the race. The fame thus obtained will be only an homage to the powers of the individual man. But when the individual is identified with the great work which is to be an eternal glory and benefit to Humanity, in that work will he find the satisfaction of his soul and its aspirations; and immortal fame and renown will be accorded him by his race, whether he has consciously labored for them or not - a fame and renown which the race will jealously cherish as a part of its own glory.
