Excerpt from International University Lectures, Delivered by the Most Distinguished Representatives of the Greatest Universities of the World, at the Congress of Arts and Science, Universal Exposition, St. Louis, Vol. 4 IN the land of Goethe the feet of the pilgrim traveler do not often wander to a more charming Spot than Weimar, still, as in Goethe's day, the capital of an intellectual grand duchy, nestling among the green Gotha hills where the frolicsome Ilm shoots in and out of its bed of silver and makes music in the ears of the poetic traveler; and in this quaint and charming Old German town, redo-lent of Goethe and Schiller and Wieland and Herder and Liszt, no spot is encircled with pleasanter associations than the ancient Stadt - Kirche where Herder, the teacher, friend, and pastor of Goethe, officiated for forty P) years and spoke forth his beautiful German to crowds of intelligent citizens, eager to catch light from his illumined lips.
