QUOTES:

FROM EMERSON’S TALK “ON THE METHOD OF NATURE” DELIVERED AT WATERVILLE (“COLBY” TO BE) COLLEGE AUGUST 11, 1841:

“Where there is no vision, the people perish. The scholars are the priests of that thought which establishes the foundations of the earth. No matter what is their special work or profession, they stand for the spiritual interest of the world, and it is a common calamity if they neglect their post in a country where the material interest is so predominant as it is in America. We hear something too much of the results of machinery, commerce, and the useful arts. We are a puny and a fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following, are our diseases. The rapid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”

[Ironically, his philosophy of education eluded the audience then as much as it seems to mystify most Americans and too many mainstream academics today. “So it goes…” as Vonnegut always says.]
