Daniel Webster

They took different shapes, but, but m- men had, like, intense, seemingly romantic, life-defining friendships with other m- men.

And for instance, Senator Daniel Webster opened letters to male friends with, quote, "My lovely boy," comma-

Hmm

... and signed off, "Very affectionately, Yours." And it, that, that read-

New Hampshire, was sort of the place that established the idea of universities as independent from the government and the idea that government couldn't just kind of come in and take over.

In that case, the state of New Hampshire in the famous case argued by Daniel Webster before the Supreme Court.

But today, Dartmouth is saying, well, they're leaving us alone, so let's just lie low.

as opposed to standing up for these just basic principles of academic freedom, academic independence.

Even when polling was taken at the time, when newspapers were writing about this, Hayne was considered to be the winner among many of the papers.

It's just that historians later on have given that trophy to Daniel Webster, and I think unjustifiably so because he really doesn't say anything in it.

But except some flowery language.

But so I'm doing that.

Very important.

So if you compare that with what John Marshall says in McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819, well, it's all just one people.

Or Daniel Webster in 1830 in the Webster-Hane debate, or take your pick, right? I mean, this is what they argue, but it's all wrong.

And Marshall knew it because he was sitting in the same convention when Madison said this.

Two young lawyers, three young doctors, the tutor of the village academy, the sub-editor of the weekly bugle, Squire Tom's son that was almost ready to go to college, and the tall young man with red hair who had just opened the new drugstore.

That was the man who did Billy the most harm, for his argument was nothing in the wide world but a string of quotations from Daniel Webster.

He called him the great expounder, and a great statesman, and a number of other dames, and wound up by asserting that the opinion of such a great man as that settled the matter.

There was a good deal of applause given to the red-headed young man as he was sitting down, and Billy took advantage of it.

Mr.

President, ladies and gentlemen, he heard some of the boys over by the window crack some peanuts and giggle.

I don't care a cent for Daniel Webster.

Billy paused and was hunting desperately for the next word, but Grandfather Morton had voted against Mr. Webster a good many times, and down came that old gentleman's cane on the floor.

I'll return shortly with Act Three.

It was Daniel Webster, the famous trial lawyer, who coined the phrase, fearful concatenation of circumstances.

But whatever the circumstances that caused him to say that, they could scarcely hope to match the one that Peter P.

Bell faces now.

Education is not what a person is able to hold in their head, so much as it is what a person is able to find.

I believe it was Daniel Webster who said that the truly educated person is not the one who had all the knowledge in their head, but the one who knows where to look for information upon any subject at any time.

Each individual who wishes to succeed must get that kind of discipline.

They must get such training that they will know where to go and get facts, rather than try to train themselves to hold all the facts in their head.
