COLLEGE OPENING.
KK.V. DR. IJUim'S ADDRESS.
Hie Function el tlie luiagliMitleu in the
Study et History.
The winter term of Franklin and Mar
shall college opened this morning. The
address was delivered by Rev. Prof. J: II.
Dubbs, D. D. The following is an ab
stract of it :
When Lord Bacen undertook the task
of classifying human knowledge he secras
te have beheld a vision of three streams,
springing from distinct sources and Hew
iug in different directions. " Fer," said
he, "it is cleaily manifest that history,
poetry and philosophy spi ing from three
distinct fountains of the mind, viz., the
memory, the imagination and the reason,
without any possibility of increasing their
number."
Though we have net the temerity te
criticise a writer who, besides beai iug a
less honorable title, has long been known
as the " wisest and brightest of mankind,"
we may, perhaps, be allowed te say that
the vision of three separate streams of
knowledge "spiiuging from distinct foun
tains would hardly present itself te the
mind of an investigator of the present
age. We have learned te knew that
science, like nature itself, is thoroughly
one from the Heart te the icmetcst ex
tremities. There is no room for a break
anywhere ; there has never been a cata
clysm that rendered necessary a new crea
tion. Lite iu the universe, as in the robin's
egg, pursues tiic course of its develop
ment until at last it stands revealed in all
its symmetry and beauty.
Se, in the world of mind, we see hew
the higher facilities rest upon the lower
and arc involved by them, hew iu beau
tiful giaJatien the Preseutative faculty
rises into the Ueprescntative, and the rep
resentative into the Klaberativc, se that
tlieie is no room ler a hiatus anywhere.
We feel that, it would be unsatisfactory te
consider the faculties of the mind, without
due regard te their mutual relations ; and
that the various branches of learning,
which spring from a knowledge of the
world and man, cannot be regarded as sev
erally independent, or each under' the con
trol of a single mental faculty. If we were
seeking a figure te express our idea of the
nature and extent of learning we would
hardly lind it iu a scries of livers, even
though they weie the rivers of I'aradise.
Would net the imagination rather call up
the mystic tree Yggdrasil, whose roots
twine around the earth while its branches
spread ever the skies, and bud and blpem
iu heavenly constellations.
Our subject is The Function of the Im
agination iu the Study of History. We
hope te show that history is net the ex
clusive domain of the memory ; that as
the record of the development of life it
uet only furnishes the reason its grandest
employments, but that it is precisely here
that the imagination paints its noblest pic
tures, and lifts up the soul te the contem
plation of the loftiest ideals. What
. the itiiitiihttivn i Dr. P-uich defines
it as " the power te call fmth "mages for
the purpose of clothing an u a which
arises iu the mind." Jehnsen's dictionary
describes it as the power of representing
absent things te yourself and ethers." It
may be called, The Representative Fac
ulty the faculty that re-piescnts that
which is absent, of which it would other
wise be impossible te form a proper con
ception. This is a marvelous power. Like AI
beitus Maguus, iu the legend, it can
cle'he the wintry lauscapc in a garb of
vernal beauty. Like the sorcerer-pope
(Herbert, it can make the shades of the
departed dance upon the reefs of the
houses.
If a perverted imagination is the fruitful
source of disease and crime, hew powerful
must be its influence for geed when di
rected into a proper channel. In literature
its inllucucc will be readily acknowledged,
Without its presence in author, teacher
and student, every branch of study is dry
and uninteresting by its power every
science becomes a beautiful enchantress.
Ne one should attempt te write a book of
travels who is deficient in the faculty et
making absent, things appear present.
Seme of these are less interesting than a
railway guide tee dull te create an im
pression en the mind ; tee uncemplete te
serve as a book of reference. The books
of travel which we admire .lie these in
which the author sketches scenes that will
live forever iu the memory, or biiugs u. u.
iute the presence or the great men of ether
lauds se that we imagine we could recog
nize them if we were te meet them en the
street te-morrow.
Of course, te appreciate all this there
must be a certain receptivity en the pan
of the reader. The mirror of the mind
must be highly polished te enable it te
catch the passing vi.-ion. There are plenty
of geed, sensible people who cannot ap
preciate the delights of the imagiaalien.
Jike these who have no car far music they
de net knew what they lese, or they would
be miserable. What can be nunc delight
ful than te enjoy a change of scene with
out leaving your daily employment. With
mi active imagination " fireside travels"
aie in some respects the most pleasant.
( Ven escape all the inconveniences, and
' remain iu posessien of the highest enjoy
ments. We can hardly mere fully illustrate this
branch of our subject. Wherever we go
we find imagination at work erecting fairy
palaces. Without it poetry can neither be
produced nor appreciated. Above all it
creates ideals of character and conduct.
He who has no snch ideals is like drift
weed, floated hither and thither. lie
who has them, and fellows them, is like a
vessel which every zephyr is wafting near
er te the pert.
Has the Imagination a function in the
study of history. We cau imagine a nega
tive answer from sevcral di He rent classes.
There aicthn.se te whom history is nothing
but "a record of events." They regard
it as valuable only iu se far as it furnishes
information, te be laid away iu the
memory ler future reference. It may
supply subjects of conversation in society,
or furnish an occasional illustration for a
political speech ; but from this point of
view it has less value than descpriptive
geography, which is sometimes useful iu
commercial transactions, and it cannot be
cempai cd with branches which fit a man
for biead-winuinif, such asteleeranbv or
book-keeping. Te the man who cares
only for studies which may be expected te
bring him a direct financial return, the
annals of the world are of no mere inter
est than a bundle of old almanacs.
Ne one will accuse this institution of
holding te such utilitarian views. Wc be
lieve that iu his studies, no less than in
his faith, "'man does net live by bread
alone." Education must adorn and glorify
our lives no less than supply us with a
livelihood. With this higher object wc
direct your attention te the study of his
tory. We study it as the revelation of
Ged's life in the world the glorious pro
cess by which nature and spirit are de de
veeopedthe grandest subject which can
claim the attention of man.
It may be said that we arc fanciful in
thus seeking for underlying principles,
and that we take tee little account of the
facts of history. We confess that it is
possible te regard history as a field for the
ir-asen only, leaving the memory and the
imagination out of the question. Such a
view would be as one-sided as the ether ;
but thine is no philosophy, worthy of the
name, that would suggest such a maimed
and iiiiid-ifee iieecm.
rtht.ii wc etmh tii inn in ite mdcU'
sense we find that all our powers arc con cen
cerned. The memory and the reason are
net at work alone, but the imagination is
active in the highest degree. The facts, as
memory grasps them, are in a certain
sense absent they must be made present
by the imagination, before the reason cau
dwell upon them. Wc wish you te be able
te leek beyond your usual surroundings;
te make, in a certain s-cuse, the personal
acquaintance of the men and women of
ether ages, se that you may sympatuize
with their feelings, aud. comprehend, in
some degree, the forces whieh have d'uect
ed the onward flew of history. We desire
te introduce you te ether and nobler fields
of thought ; te open up the vistas of uew
worlds, whence refreshing bieezes will
blew upon your minds aud souls.
Here the enchantress appears upon the
scene On her migic tapestry she bears
you, with the prince in the Arabian talc,
te lands befeie unseen. Yeu visit Gieece
te hear the words of orators that move the
world. Yeu step at Reme te beheld its
triumph!1. Yeu fellow Gedficy te the
Hely Land, and with the enthusiastic Cru
saders you kiss the very stones of the
sacred city while high iu heaven you
see displayed the emblem of the Seu of
Man.
Thus every exclusion into the pest ic
veals new scenes of glory. It furnishes
all the exhilaration of a trip te the moun
tains or the j-cnr.ide. Yeu breathe another
air. and anon the eye begins te spaiklc
aud the heait grows light.
Can it be possible that the employment
of the imagination in the study of history
unfits a man for serious thought '.' !; net
the ell'ect diicctly the revei.se ? Thr- man
wh can lcprc.scnt absent things te himself
and ethers is ceitainly best prepared te
scaich for the principles which underlie
the developments of history.
On the ether hand may we net fnquire
of these who insist that imagination is of
no use in daily life, "Is it of no advantage
te be able te put yourself iu the place of
these with whom you come in contact ".' Is
it vain for the merchant te be able te im
agine the feelings of his cencsjuuiik-iit ;
for the lawyer te be able te grasp the view
of the case which will be picscntcd by his
opponent ; for the statesman te be able te
enter into the thoughts and feelings of
distant populations who aie mere like
the tribes described by Herodotus
and Thucydidcs, than like the people
whom we daily meet." If the sitate-iiienef
former ages had .studied history, net as a
mere matter of memory, but under the
potent influence of the imagination, Philip
II. would net have lest the Nethe: lands,
Charles I. would have kept his head, and
Gee, III. would have remained in undis
turbed possession of the Amci lean colo
nies. Taking it for ;i anted then that the de
velopment et the imagination is eminently
desirable, hew s-hall this process be pro
moted'.' Netasaiule by leading weiks
of fiction. Such books as Robinson Cru Cru
ee and the Pilgrim's Progress aie, iu a
certain sense, educational ; but, modern
novels de net generally appeal very! tiong tieng
ly te the imagination. They de net de
sciihe the life of ether ages, but claim it
as their special merit that they photo
graph our daily life. They may be valu
able te some future historian who desires
te study the social condition of the nine
tecuth century. Lctlhcm'bu read in live
hundred years, but net till then. If the
imagination has an important function in
the study of history, it is also tine that
nothing se stimulates the imagination as
study of that royal .science. In a rudi
mentary course you have time te become
familiar eniy with a lew salient points. It
is like a rapid lour through foreign lands.
Yeu are whirled rapidly along, but through
the open windows of your car ou catch
glimpses of beautiful sci-urs. New aud
then you step te m s-oine tvlcbiatcl city.
At the frontiers j en are examined t see
what higaagc you carry. When jeu lc.tch
the end of yenr journey you feel disap
pointed, fancying, for the time, that you
have fei gotten all you saw. Rut this is a
mistake. Gradually your iccollcctiens
assume their proper places, like pictures
in a gallery, and you feel that your mind
has somehow been extended te ir-rcive
them.
Yeu may suppose thai your historical
course has bsen superficial and that but
little of it has remained in your memory ;
but for all that it has net bean iu vain.
Yeu aie at any rate familiar with the out
lines of the subject ; you can trace the
general course of the .stream ei life. Ner
is auything you have learned everabse
lutely forgotten. If the human mi.ni is a
palimpwst, from which one inscription
after the ethei is erased, life lias its chem
ical re-agents that iu due time can bring
forth every character with all its original
distinctness.
It is nor, hewcvi-i, within the limits of
your collegiate course that the imagination
plays its most important part. The fact
that you have taken a biid's eye vi.-.w does
net prove that ydu aie familiar with the
whole domain of history. If you seek for
thoroughness you must severally expire
its provinces. Let the province be com
paratively small se that you may have
time for minute investigation. If I were
te advise a .student at this point of his
career I would say, when you have chosen
your field read as many books as possible
en the subject, taking notes as carefully
as though you were listening te a living
lecturer. As your storms increase i--:amine
them carefully, eliminating that which is
worthless, until your facts assume their
logical relations. Your chosen field
must have a living interest. Yeu aie no
longer satisfied te knew the. names only
of the great men who lived iu these days.
Yeu read their biographies, yen study
their pet trails ; even their manuscripts can
tell you something about, their authors.
Yeu long te think their thoughts after
them, and yen turn te examine the books
which they wrote and read. Fiction and
the drama illustrate their secinl life.
Works of art express their loftiest ideals.
Poetry gives their highest conceptions of
truth and beauty. Philesphy leveals tin:
principles that prompted their mighty
deeds. Above all you will seek te com
prehend the religions life of the people.
Unless you can personally feel the enthu
siasm of religion, the grcalast event-; in ',
the history of the world must remain te j
your mind an aniathemable mystery.
Such a course of study may be udefiu- J
itcly extended. The earnest student will
neglect nothing which cair threw light en i
his subject. He will cultivate the .society
of specialists, ami gcther the le.sults of
their researches, lie will net neyrlecl
these miner arelneolegic sciences, which J
arc sometimes called " the fringe, of hist-i
tery," but which might be called its sc-bt.
of state
When you have minutely explore! your
chosen province it is yems te have and
held feiever. Ilenccfeitli, you cau retire
from the prosaic labeis of every-day life
te the calm retreats of your ches.-n pos
sessions, and, best of all, you may be the
trusted guide and companion of ?ympr
thetic souls.
In these days, when the tpiiit of a
colonial renaissance appears te be de
scending upon us, it .-.ccms te be desirable
that the function of the imagination iu
the study of history should be'inere gen
erally acknowledged. Wc have just en
tered upon the bi centennial year of the
history of Pennsylvania " the Keystone
state" of which wc aie te justly proud.
Would it net be well for our people te
study their own history, and with the aid
of the imagination te restore the half-
obliterated images of the past'.' Hew dp-'
light ful it would be te beheld
' The young city, lovely even tin n.
With its luir women ami its stately :.i :.
Gracing the leiesl court of William L" -in
Surely, if we could call up a .'.-k.:i n i
the daj's of the feuuder of our common -wealth,
it would help us te realize mere
fully the blessings which fill our hearts
with jubilation.
We have ventured te pretest agaiut that
tee utilitarian form of education which
clips the wiugs of the imagination, and
cheeses for its highest object the gaining of
a livelihood. We have tried te show
that, while in our studies we fully appre
ciate the importance of familiarity with the
skeleton of facts and dates, we prefer te
contemplate history as alive in all its mem
bers, a being beautiful enough te attract
our affections, and chaste enough te retain
them : "The learned Clie loveliest of the
nine."
We have net ignored the immense im
portance of ether studies. fWe simply
plead for the recognition of a branch of
learning which is, in these latter days, tee
frequently neglected. With all our heart
we believe that if you will cultivate the
Ged given faculty of imagination in the
study of history rising te the contempla
tion and imitation of its most glorious
ideals it will make you better students,
better citizens and better men.
