Excerpt from Dedication of Antioch College, and Inaugural Address of Its President, Hon. Horace Mann: With Other Proceedings
At 10 o"clock, a.m., the Board of Trustees, the members of the College Faculty, and invited guests, assembled on a platform at the east front of Antioch Hall, while an immense concourse of spectators gathered in a semicircle below. After music, by the Springfield band and a prayer by Rev. Wm. Lane, the Rev. John Phillips, having three costly-bound Bibles on the table before him, addressed the President elect, as follows:
Mr. President;
I speak in behalf of the donors of these Bibles. In the name of the Great God, I present them to you as the Constitution of the World. I pray that you, and those under your care, may be guided by their heavenly teaching, and made better by their counsels.
