AN INTELLECTUAL CENTER
Mr. Edward Farquhar's Tribute To
Sandy Spring, Md.
In a recent lecture at Swarthmore College
Mr. Edward Farquhar, librarian of the
United States Patent Office, said:
"I have been asked to say a few words to
you about self-education-and possibly because,
to speak egotistically, I am supposed
to be an example of the man who has educated
himself. I did not go to college in
the ordinary sense of the word. But I want
to say, earnestly and seriously, what I
trust may be said by many of you, that my
own home-my father's house and the
neighborhood in which I was brought up
(Sandy Spring, Md.)-was like a great college,
a great university for me. Sympathy
and love were the elements of its atmosphere.
I early learned there the true spirit
of a college; for I was so guided in my
studies as to be well fitted for the duties of
a citizen of these United States. I was
even made to delve, somewhat unwillingly,
at certain branches which I then thought
useless (I refer particularly to the ancient
and modern languages, for it seemed to me
that our own noble English was sufficient
for all needs); but that plodding opened up
a world of intellectual activity of the
greatest value to me. And I learned the
spirit of the true university and its twofold
freedom-liberality of teaching and,
beyond a certain point, wide election of
studies-qualities to my mind absolutely
indispensable in the highest type of institution."
