Excerpt from Stevens Institute of Technology: 25th Anniversary, 1897 "Per Aspera ad Astra." Written for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Celebration of the Stevens Institute of Technology, by President Henry Morton, Ph. D. What are those stars by rugged pathway gained? And what the road by which they are attained? Those stars are the rewards, the crowns, the goals. The final dwellings of heroic souls, Of those whose life-long toil of hand and mind Was freely given to uplift mankind. To gather knowledge and develop arts, To build up nations and make happy hearts, Increasing comfort, lightening human toil, From conquered nature winning richest spoil, Guarding the weak from the encroaching strong, Rewarding virtue and preventing wrong. On such as these are starry crowns bestowed. For such as these the stars are fit abode. Of the rough paths which lead to such rewards Examples every noble life affords. The Martyr gives his life, the Hero bleeds. The Patriot strives with noble words and deeds. The moral teachers and reformers give Their lives of labor that the truth may live. Students of nature work to age from youth To bring to light some hidden gem of truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
