Order of Exercises and Addresses at the Inauguration of Cyrus Northrop, as President of the University of Minnesota, June 11, 1885 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Order of Exercises and Addresses at the Inauguration of Cyrus Northrop, as President of the University of Minnesota, June 11, 1885
The postponement of this ceremonial from its proper time makes it difficult and to some degree impossible for me to perform the duty assigned me in a suitable manner. The emotions which would naturally Spring from a real occasion are now only a reminiscence, and cannot with their reflected beams warm or illuminate the dull surface of my speech. Still the simple duty, now for then can be performed.
At the inaugural ceremony held in this University on the twenty second day of September, 1869, it was the pleasure of your prede cessor, Mr. President, to induct me into office by the symbol of keys, significant of custody and guardianship. By the same token, thus [here the speaker took the keys from the table and placed them in the hands of President Sibley] delivered into your hands, I now formally surrender (as I have in fact already surrendered) the trust then committed to me.
