InscriptionsI went to the College Jubillee on the 8th instant. A noble & well thought of anniversary, The pathos of the occasion was extreme & not much noted by the speakers. Cambridge at any time is full of ghosts; but on that day the anointed eye saw the crowd of spirits that mingled with the procession in the vacant spaces, year by year, as the classes proceeded; and then the far longer train of ghosts that followed the Company of the men that wore before us the college honors & the laurels of the state--the long winding train reaching back into eternity. Ralph Waldo Emerson - Journals - 1836
