| dc.description.abstract | The text of a speech written and delivered by W. B. Bennet (William Baker Bennet, 1827-1908) before the Phi Delta Society on February 22, 1848, at Mercer University, then located in Penfield, Georgia. Bennet describes the nation's important role in supporting learning and the arts, using the example of Ancient Greece, and encouraging similar appreciation in America for developing a culture that values intellect and artistic expression. He particularly stresses the power of oratory in a fledgling nation. Bennet also offers a eulogy to two deceased Phi Delta members, Walker and Gordon. | en_US |
