Excerpt from The Relations of the Scholar to Labor and Capital: An Oration Delivered Before the Alumni Association of Marietta College, at Marietta, Ohio, June 25, 1872I propose to speak of certain responsibilities Which seem just now to press upon those Who hold citizenship by such birth-right claims in the Republic of Letters. My subject is the relations OF the scholar TO labor and capital. The relations of Labor and Capital to each other present problems of which it would be pre sumption in me to offer a solution. Indeed I think that the questions at issue must be settled, if at all, by the efforts of the laborers and capitalists themselves. But we are all deeply interested in their coming' to a friendly settlement, and there are ways in which we can all help them toward it, while some peculiar qualifications for doing the work of peace-makers are possessed by the scholar-class.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
