Following is the text of the address delivered by Hon. Thane A. Campbell, Chief Justice, at the unveiling of the monument at Freetown on Sunday to the late Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman: "We are met here this after- noon. under the auspices of The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. to do honour to the memory of a truly emin- ent son of Canada. a native of Prince Edward Island and of this community.

"Until two and a. half years no. the work of the Board in this Province was in charge of Professor D. C. Harvey. himself a native of Prince County. It was largely due to his research and efforts that preparations for this monument were set on foot. and I had hoped that he would be here to deliver the dedication address. Unfortunately, pressure of his work in Nova Scotia has

on May 22nd. 1854. He was de- scended from United Empire Loy- alist stock and from Dutch an- cestry, though his parents Rob- ert and Lydia. (Gouldrup) Schur- man were both born on this Island. His father and mother were hard-working people and devout Christians. and Jacob was brought up on their fine farm, with its notably well-kept home, in this thriving district of Upper Freetown. He had two older bro- there. and as the years went by two sisters and three younger brothers were added to the fam- ily.

A Brilliant Student:

soon displayed the aualities of an earnest. thoughtful lad.--a quick and diligent student. When he was about 13. he left the farm and followed what was then an effective stepping-stone to alib- eral education in this Island. by becoming a clerk in the general store of the late David Rogers at Summerside. There he remain- ed about three

entered Prince of Wales College at Charlottetown in 1870. After two years' study at that in- stitution. he went to Nova Scotia. where he attended Acadia Col- lege at Wolfville. from which he graduated in 1875.

"He then entered the competi- tion for the coveted Gilchrist Scholarship. awarded by the Uni- versity of London and open to students of all Canadian colleges. By dint of perdstent hard work. combined with his native abil- ity. he was succcsstul in winning this scholarship and proceeded to London, England, for the further prosecution of his studies.

"In 1877 he became a Bachelor of Arts of London University. winning the highest honours. and being awarded two more scholarships. with the aid of which he spent the next year studying at the Universities of Paris and Edinburgh. In 1878 he received from Edinburgh Univer- my the degree of Doctor of Science in Mental and Moral Philosophy.

"whereupon, in a competition open to England. Scotland and Wales. he was elected to the I-Ilbbert travelling scholarship for two years. His essay for this competition was entitled tkantlan Ethics and the Ethics of Evolu- tlon'. It attracted wide-spread at- tention among students of philo-

the German language. -

"He decided to return to Can- ada and enter the teaching pro- fession. The great breadth and variety of his intellectual attain- ments sre indicated by the na- ture of his first two professor- shlps. that of English Literature. Political Economy, and P!yClI0- logy at his alma mater Acadia. ill)-82: and that of English Lit- erature and Metaphysics at Dal- housie College in Halifax, 2ll82- 1888. ''In 138 he became Professor of Philosophy at Cornell Univer- sity. Ithaca, . Y.; and from 1892 to 1021 he was President of that University. By the end of his presidency. he had received nhonorsry doctorates from eight universities In America and one in Scotland. and had written numerous books 'snd contribu- tions to home and" foreign per- iodicals. His outstanding scholar- ship. combined with his vigorous enthusiasm and administrative ability. enabled him to raise Cor- nell to a recognized position among the best educational in- stitutions in America.

"In 1899. McKinley appointed him president of the first United States Philippine Commission. whose duty it was to chart the Government's administrative poli- cies in the .. ssesslons newly-ac- quired as a result of the Spanish- Amerlcan War. He passed about a year in the Philippines. super- vising the interim administration and making a thorough study of conditions; he wrote comprehen- sive reports. which the Govern- ment published in four volumes. "By Taft in 1912. he was ap- pointed Minlster to Greece and Montenegro. a position which he held during one year's leave from Cornell. During that year he tactfully protected American interests through the period of two Balkan wars.

"Schurman's political allegiance was to the Republican Party, of which he was an ardent adviser. He never consented to become a candidate for any political office. -partly. no doubt,.because of his

Ambassador to Germany

man's diplomatic career was Amhassadorshlp to Germany. which he was appointed by Pre- sident Coolidge in 1925. and which he held until 1930. For this post he had many outstanding qualifications. in addition to his intellectual and competence. I-lis earlier studies at the great German universities had given him an insight into the nobler sides of the. German intellect and philosophy.

"His mastery of the German language. which he spoke almost as fluently and ldiomatically as he did English, enabled him to make effective contacts with, and to win general admiration from all classes of the Germans of that day. Though he was 71 when he went to Germany. he was still the personification of energy

"I! we now feel that Schur- man was over-optimistic as to the ability of the German people to maintain their 'bent for peace' which I-Ilndenburg stressed in 1925, it was a viewpoint shared with a large portion of the Anglo-American world. And it is l matter of satisfaction to real- ize that the Uniied States could have sent to Germany during those important years no rep- resentative more competent to foster. and give a real chance to the development of. German-Am- erican peace and friendship. than was Jacob Gouldv Schurman.

"Nor did Schurman the dip- lomat entirely divest himself of educational interests. In 1927 he succeeded in raising a fund of 3500.000 from American contribu- lors, for the erection of a new building at Heidelberg Univer- sity. The building. known as Schurman Hall. was dedicated in 1931. and the sponsor was hon- oured with the'freedcm of the city. a very rarely conferred gol- den slate medal, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

"it was no doubt to Dr. Schur- man a shock and a portent of ominous events when in 1936, un- der Nazi auspices, a startling change was made in the facade of Schurman Hall. The original inscription 'To the Eternal Spir- ii' had been changed to read 'To the German Spirit'; the sur- mouniing statue of Athena liail been replaced by a golden swas- lika and a German eagle. Though Dr. Schurman was in Germany that year. it is said that he. did not attend the celebration mark- ing ihe 550th anniversary of the founding of his beloved Heidel- berg.

Return From (ii-riniuiy

"On his return from Germany in 1930. Schurman's official career came. to an end, at the

age of 76. in his latter years he made his home at Bedford. in Westrhesier County, New York, Inc county of which his ances- lors were residents before the American revolution. He spent much of his time there among ihe memcnlocs of his notable and varied career. But he was still active in attending the numerous clubs to which he be- longed. and in advising the Re- publican Party as one of its valued elder statesmen. He was particularly vigorous in his op- ,position in H ihird Presidential ii-rm. lmnking numerous speeches at a very advanced age)-a view- point which sincc his death has been translated into the United

Siates' constitution. "During. these latter years Dr. iSchurman paid visits to many

land iviriespreatl countries of the world: to Hitler's Germany in 1936. to India. to the Philippines. in China. in Japan. It is not lpublicly known to what extent ithesc journeys may have been lofficially commissioned. but it is it-ertain that on rcturning he con- lfr-rred with the President aha lvvith ihe Secretary of Slate. an lrcpeaiedly made his experience ,and ohscrvatioris ziviiilohle, to the Government during the period Inf his retirement. .
