Excerpt from Place of Mathematics in University Education: Inaugural Address of Charlton T. Lewis, Professor of Pure Mathematics in Troy University, Delivered Before the Trustees at Their Annual Meeting, July 20th, 1859

But who can believe it? To all who love this science, to all whose eye is not evil through prejudice, Truth as revealed by Mathematics is Truth in her native beauty, with her disguises stript away; and thus seen, led out from the veils of form and matter behind which half her light is quenched, into the clear air of exact knowledge, she is the purest and sweetest daughter of the voice of God; - while, the more absolute the Truth, the surer is the signet of the Divine.
