(Excerpt from The Spirit of 76 It is a very pleasant task...)
Excerpt from The Spirit of 76 It is a very pleasant task which has been assigned to me this evening, that of preparing the way for my eloquent friend who is to delight you with what I am sure will be a brilliant portrayal of one of the most distinguished founders of our Republic. During four years of educational administration in Nebraska, Mr. Estabrook was one of our Regents, or trustees, and I learned to lean heavily upon him as a support which never failed. I am glad of this opportunity to testify to his unusual intelligence, faithfulness and loyalty in all University affairs. The people of that western commonwealth still owe him a very distinct debt of gratitude for the large and generous service which he then rendered, and my personal and official obligation to him was as great as it was manifest. I beg leave to welcome him to this assembly, as I have already welcomed him to the city, as an American of a type and character all too sadly needed and all too rarely met. There is a certain phase of our history most surely worthy of profound study, without some knowledge of which we may search in vain for a thread to lead us through the labyrinth of later days. Every moment devoted to its consideration throws new light upon all our later struggles. The results of this study are such as to give us, at the same time, hope and courage and fear. It is full of glory, it is full of shame, it is full of reproach, it is full of encouragement, it is full of warning. It is something in our past which is more commanding than the details of our strife with savage nature or with either savage or civilized man. It is that which gives vital force to the life of our people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

James Hulme Canfield was born on March 18, 1847 in Delaware, Ohio, United States; the son of the Rev. Eli Hawley Canfield, of Vermont stock, and of Martha Hulme, a native of New Jersey. His boyhood and youth, except for an interval with relatives in Vermont after his mother's death, were spent in New York and Brooklyn, his father having become rector of Christ Church in the latter city.
Canfield attended the Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn, where he knew Seth Low as a schoolmate, and he had a distinguished career at Williams College where he was graduated in 1868.
Though destined by his father for the law, he took employment after graduation with an Iowa company engaged in building a branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, and in two years acquired a vigorous and valuable experience of affairs. He then entered a law office in Jackson, Michigan, and after admission to the bar in 1872 set up in practise at St. Joseph in that state.
In addition to his legal practise at St. Joseph, Canfield showed a sturdy interest in civic affairs and especially in educational policies. His work in this connection soon convinced him that he was better fitted for the chair than for the bar, and led to his cordial acceptance of a professorship in the University of Kansas in 1877. His chair was a wide one, extending over the fields of English language and literature, history, political science, and even other subjects; and in the fourteen years of his tenure he greatly enlarged his interests and abilities. He was soon known as a brilliant speaker and a facile writer in the interest of political reform in general and of a free-trade policy in particular. As an apostle of free trade in a protectionist stronghold he encountered several attempts to expel him from his professorship; but his suave though fearless persistence in uttering his views won him such a reputation for tact, courage, and vision, that, after serving as secretary of the National Education Association for three years from 1886, and very ably as its president in the year following, he was chosen in 1891 as chancellor of the University of Nebraska. During four years in this office he aided vigorously in the phenomenal development of the standards and the resources of the institution, and in the spread of education throughout the state. In the face of heavy odds, he had placed the institution on a firm financial and administrative basis and had won the admiration and affection of the great body of his colleagues and students when he was called, in 1895, to the presidency of Ohio State University. His four years' tenure here closed when, at the invitation of Seth Low, he accepted the position of librarian at Columbia University, where he remained until his death. Aside from the library administration, he served the University on numerous occasions as a public representative, particularly in an educational mission to France and England (1907), and was in extraordinary demand as a speaker for a great variety of occasions.
His interests were scarcely those of a minute scholar, but rather of an able and amiable administrator and public servant who brought great power of thought and speech to whatever problem claimed his attention. In his well-nigh innumerable reports and addresses to civic, religious, educational, and political audiences he gave form to a mass of material the vast body of which, by his special request, was withheld from the press. Nevertheless his bibliography contains scores of articles on a wide variety of topics in learned and popular periodicals. Among his longer publications are: Taxation, a Plain Talk for Plain People (1883), a History of Kansas (1884), Local Government in Kansas (1889), and The College Student and His Problems (1902).

Hulme was also a founding member of the American Library Institute.
He was a staunch churchman and a member of many learned societies. His presence was one of unusual vitality; thick-set and swarthy, with remarkably fine eyes, he was said to bear a striking resemblance to Stephen A. Douglas; but he had also a large fund of sympathy and humor.
In 1873 he married Flavia Camp, who became the mother of Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the novelist.
