Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Development of the State: Being an Address Delivered to the Students of the University of Glasgow, November 1904

The Development of the State affords us common ground. It is a theme at once prac tical and philosophic, but neither transcen dental nor of Today. So, turning my back on the Halls of Westminster and the plantations of Academus, Iseek the alleys of the Lyceum and find a convenient point of departure for my peripatetics in the saying of Aristotle Man is by nature a political animal a living being that can prosper only in an organized society.

Excerpt from The Development of the State: Being an Address Delivered to the Students of the University of Glasgow, November 1904

A man whose life is mortgaged to Party politics addressing men whose lives are devoted to learning must avoid political controversy and may well shrink from intrusion within the pre cincts of Literature, Philosophy, Aisthetics and Science. I hail these high themes with instinctive reverence, but with rational modesty I say to them Fare ye well I am a public servant in the conduct of affairs. You are, or mean to be, Masters of the Arts. Neither region is familiar to us both; yet the Lord Rector and the members of one University are one family.
