Scope and Contents

"One of the most perceptive tourists ever to visit America made his trip to our shores about 150 years ago (1831)."

Same as (UDIS H2/13.04). Also same as (CPHS 142/24.01): a speech Father Hesburgh gave in Indianapolis in 1987.

Similar to (CPHS 142/15.05) and (UDIS H2/13.06): the speech Father Hesburgh delivered at Toronto, later, dated 21 April 1980. This address is an earlier version of the Toronto address.

Also a revised copy (CPHS 142/16.02)

Enclosed with the commemoration address is Father Hesburgh's handwritten introduction to John Hopkins graduation talk: "Johns Hopkins Graduation Intro," 5 pages. Father Hesburgh received an honorary degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1980 and it is possible that he gave a graduation speech there in 1980, but his commencement speech is missing. The text of the 22 February 1980 Commemoration Address starts where his introduction to graduation talk is left off: with Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America. He might have used the 104th anniversary talk for the graduation speech too.

Also on audio-cassette tape
