Excerpt from An American Scholar: A Tribute to Asahel Clark Kendrick, D.D., LL. D., 1809-1895 IT has been justly said of my father that he taught and wrote, not for the immediate and transient, but for the fundamental and permanent Not for a day, but for all time. It has not seemed, then, a mistake to postpone the appearance of this brief record of his life and words until some years had passed since his voice became silent. There has been no effort to give details that would resolve themselves, largely, into a rehearsal of days of teaching and nights of study. The object of this book is to suggest him in his varied aspects, as teacher, writer, and student. And, especially, to render accessible some of his utterances on classical education and Scriptural religion.
