guage reached this mature condition. A single word ac- companied by a gesture no doubt sufficed our ancestral savage to express an entire thought. A child says "dog" for "there is" or "that is a dog"; then "dog-run" for "the dog is running," or "see the dog run." When pro- longed practice has rendered him expert in the use of words he revels in a profusion of names and epithets of the same object or idea. So language passed from a con- dition of poverty and indigence to fullness and richness, even redundancy of vocabulary. In the strife for honor which at once arose, the agreeable and expressive words were successful, those unpleasant in sound, or difficult of pronunciation or combination with other words, fell into oblivion.


Poetry is based on quantity or accent or both. Lan- guage, therefore, must have reached a reasonably ma- ture and permanent condition, and the distinction of long and short vowels and syllables if not the word accent, must have been established, before any metrical composition was possible.


By continual use during prolonged periods, roots which, as has been said, expressed only general ideas, grew into words which by reason of their universally recognized ac- cent, their agreeable sound and their clearly-defined sig- nification were suitable for, and naturally suggested, met- rical use.


While individual words were thus changing, many in- fluences prompted men to make a more forceful use of language. In primitive times as in later ages the chieftain before the battle employed all his powers of oratory to fire the wild valor and stir the enthusiasm of his followers. These specimens of rude eloquence have perished, but


83

their effect on language remained. They must precede if a De Corona or an In Catilinam was to follow. The wild Australian trying to rouse his courage or his fury for the battle says:


" Spear his forehead ! Spear his breast! Spear his liver! Spear his heart! "


and so on with the other members of the body.


The tendency to repetition to which reference has al- ready been made is here apparent. In moments of great excitement or great emotion the thoughts and feelings struggled for adequate expression. The desire to portray scenes and events graphically ; to be earnest in entreaties, and inspiring in exhortations; to issue orders and pronun- ciamentos, edicts and laws in clear and terse language; these and other influences acted upon language as a whole to shape it into an instrument so delicate and powerful that the whole vast range of man's thoughts, fancies and emotions may be communicated to his fellowmen, and in words that will charm the ear and thrill the soul.


The line of thought which we have endeavored to fol- low thus far may be summarized briefly as follows: Man first entertained himself with noise, afterwards with sound repeated as impulse prompted at first, then at regular in- tervals. This developed on the one hand into music. On the other hand the development was toward literature, his natural passion for noise being subdued into a fondness for the repetition of the same word or group of words. Both the regularly repeated sound and the repeated word find their literary representative in the ictus of poetry, which is a stress of voice recurring at regular intervals.

Our consideration of the genesis of literature would be incomplete did we not go one step further and examine briefly the character of the earliest literary efforts. The literatures of the world as they have reached us have passed the formative period and begin with hymns and epics. A vast number of songs or verses of some kind must have preceded these, such as war, wedding and fu- neral songs, ballads and love ditties. Of all these the war-songs were the most numerous and important. Al- though the family relation was early established among tribes and races, and the joy at the formation of the fami- ly bond, and the grief caused by its dissolution, were ex- pressed in songs and dirges, yet these exerted compara- tively little influence on the development of the poetic art. So the religious nature of man early found expres- sion in song; but there is no evidence that religious songs preceded all others; on the contrary it is highly probable that they did not. Primitive man was the child of nature; war was his normal condition. He was compelled to fight for his existence. Wild beasts and wild men were alike his enemies. His eye was trained to follow the track of his foe; but it saw no beauty or grandeur in pri- meval forest, towering mountain, sparkling stream or rushing cataract. These roused no poetic emotions in his fierce breast. But the chief who could lead his fellows to victory and secure for them plunder and the means of subsistence, as well as honor, was their hero; to him they owed respect and gratitude. What was more natural than that they should tell the story of his bravery and sing his praises while they enjoyed the results of his dar- ing deeds. The songs which originated in this way would be sung with appropriate changes and additions to


85


MARIETTA COLLEGE


inspire courage and confidence on the approach of another hostile tribe, and when death deprived them of their trusted leaders, as funeral songs. In their laudatory char- acter they were the prototypes of the funeral oration so common among the Romans, and with which mourning nations still honor their illustrious dead.


Before engaging in battle the aid of the gods was in- voked in behalf of their hero and themselves; and when the victory was won their gratitude was expressed in song. Thus there would arise several varieties of war-songs. Songs to inspire courage for the conflict; songs imploring the gods to aid them and give them victory; songs of joy and gratitude for success in the fierce fight; songs in honor of the brave chieftain who led them and spared not his own life in their defense; and lastly funeral songs, chanted as requiems to the soul of the departed hero and friend. In these lay the germs of epic and lyric poetry. As the brave chief loved to hear his deeds recounted, and his praises sung while yet alive, so his relatives and friends would strive to perpetuate his memory by preserving the rude songs that celebrated his, to them, glorious achieve- ments; and the poet who could most acceptably tell the story of his life would receive their special favor and pat- ronage. An incentive to poetic art was thus given and the guild of poets was soon established who produced a vast ballad literature, and prepared the way for the com- ing of the great poet, who could sing, not of one hero or of one petty fight, but of many heroes and of great and prolonged wars.


It would not be in harmony with our present purpose to discuss in detail the origin of epic poetry. It matters little whether the first epics were the work of one poet


86


PHI BETA KAPPA ORATION


or of many. Whether they were compounds of various songs and ballads, skillfully combined so as to have at least an appearance of unity, or were single poems, the offspring of individual minds. They certainly were not without literary predecessors.


The songs of entreaty and of gratitude to the gods were the natural progenitors of hymns. The develop- ment of these was slower, as the sister art of music must be developed to a high degree of perfection before true lyric poetry could exist. The statement that a " hymn to a god or gods is the earliest utterance of the human mind in every nation " must be interpreted liberally if accepted. Among modern nations the war-epos is the oldest form of literature. " It is precisely in this century of confusion and violence " says Ticknor in his Spanish Literature " when the Christian population of the country may be said, with the old chronicle, to have been kept constantly in battle array that we hear the first wild notes of their national poetry, which come to us mingled with their war shouts, and breathing the very spirit of their victories." The Niebelungenlied, the Chanson de Ro- land, the Cid are our modern Iliads. That an extensive ballad literature preceded these epics is highly probable, was, we may say, a necessary preparation for them. But these ballads must have been war-songs. The study of modern literatures can aid us but little in our investigation, for their development was not normal. They carly fell under classic influences. But wherever we do find traces of natural growth, they favor the theory advanced.


Where the genesis of literature ends the development of literature begins. The relations between epic, lyric and dramatic poetry; of prose to poetry; how and


87


MARIETTA COLLEGE


whence grew the various forms of prose, the influence of religious, social and political conditions on the develop- ment of literature, these are topics which must claim atten- tion in the study of its growth and history. My task is done if I have succeeded in my effort to show how the advent of literature came through the growth and perfec- tion of language, and the development of the artistic faculty, the promise of which was found in man's predi- lection for noise.


Have I seemed to assign a low and unworthy origin for so noble and heavenly an art as the poetic? Not so. Humble but not ignoble, was the origin of poetry. Man himself was made from the dust of the earth. The hut of the savage must be placed beside Milan Cathedral if we wish to see the extremes of the architectural art. It is no more incredible that Paradise Lost must recognize the war-song as its progenitor, than that the blind poet could trace his genealogy back to ancestors of very marked cannibalistic tendencies. A devout hymn of Watts does not differ more widely from the song of the Arval Brothers than the modern steel, gang plow differs from the forked or crooked stick with which the ancient Roman farmers scratched the meager fields upon which that priestly guild invoked the blessing of fertility. Onward, upward, to higher, nobler things has been the irresistible course of the centuries. It would be irrational to suppose that literature had any other than a humble origin. What its future will be no one will venture to predict further than that it will ever be a more and more perfect expression and embodiment of that which is pur- est, noblest and best in the life of man.

HISTORICAL NOTE


In the year 1830 there was established at Marietta "The Institute of Education" by the Rev. Luther G. Bingham, with whom was as- sociated the next year Mr. Mansfield French as proprietor. Early in the spring of 1832 the idea of a permanent public institution was suggested, and was received with so much favor that in December a charter was obtained for "The Marietta Collegiate Institute and Western Teachers' Seminary." The organization of a board of Trustees was effected by the election of John Cotton President, Douglas Putnam Secretary, and John Mills Treasurer. The Insti- tute property of Messrs. Bingham and French was purchased, and in the fall of 1833 the new institution went into operation, four Professors having been appointed.


While full college work was intended to be done from the first, and was done, unfortunately the charter gave no power to confer de- grees. A new charter was therefore obtained in February, 1835, giving the requisite authority, and changing the name to "Marietta College." In the spring of that year the Rev. Joel H. Linsley, pas- tor of the Park Street Church, Boston, was chosen President.


The first term of Marietta College opened in the autumn of 1835 with two regular college classes, the Sophomore and Freshman. The Faculty consisted of President Linsley, Middlebury 1811, who had charge of the department of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy ; Henry Smith, Middlebury 1827, Professor of the Greek and Latin Languages; D. Howe Allen, Dartmouth 1829, Professor of Mathe- matics and Natural Philosophy; Milo P. Jewett, Dartmouth 1828,

MARIETTA GENERAL CATALOGUE


Professor of Rhetoric and Political Economy ; and Samuel Maxwell, Amherst 1829, Principal of the Preparatory Department. All but President Linsley had been elected in 1833, and came directly to Marietta from the Theological Seminary at Andover.


The two classes present in the fall of 1835 went regularly on, the Sophomores taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the summer of 1838, forming the first class of graduates. From that time to the present the succession of graduating classes has been unbroken.
