Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 6: October, 1898-June, 1899 If the spectacle Of a nation at war pursuing steadily at the same time its ordinary peaceful business be an interesting and instructive one, with how much more interest do we consider such a nation following out in the midst Of war its ceremonies and festivities! Nor is this attitude of interest in the least derogatory, it would seem, to the highest concern for the country's welfare, to the keenest enthusiasm for her best good. Though apparently oblivious for the moment of the national Situation, no well-informed person would call such an assembly as this unpatriotic and it is this instinctive appreciation Of the nature and character Of patriotism that I propose to analyze.
