Practical Speaking, as Taught in Yale College (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Practical Speaking, as Taught in Yale College

The topics discussed in the present volume, have all met with the cordial approbation and sympathy of the students, and notwithstanding the failure of success in respect to the others, the instructor has had the satisfaction of knowing, that though occupying a situation of no official rank or authority, and yet one in which from the very nature of the subject taught, the modest and difiident must be brought forward and protected, and those whose example or conduct obstructs their own and others' improvement must be checked, and if necessary sternly rebuked, he has never to his knowledge made a personal ene my or caused the governing faculty any trouble. It has been by the manifestations of kind respect on the part of the stu dents, that he has been encouraged in carrying into action the principle that faithful are the wounds of a friend. Young men feel that among those whose example does not entice them to immorality, they can have no worse enemy than he who de frauds them of that part which it is his duty to afi'ord them, of the highest of earthly blessings, education.
