Excerpt from An Address: At the Dedication of the Second Hall of the Goethean Literary Society, of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa, , July 28, 1857 Gentlemen of the Goethean Literary Society: - Eleven years ago, the friends and well-wishers of our common Society, being assembled within the walls of a noble building that had been erected through the energy and enthusiastic zeal of your predecessors, witnessed the services of a dedication. The manly undertaking of erecting an edifice, which should be the receptacle for a large and valuable Library, and an attractive collection of objects of scientific interest and which, at the same time, should answer as a place for the regular meetings of the Society, had been accomplished after large expenditure, and months of toil. The honored and beloved President of Marshall College with due ceremonial, dedicated that edifice to "the high purposes for which it had been erected, " and then exhorted its owners to be true to their noble calling as students of Christian philosophy and Christian science.
