Скачать или смотреть First-Year Walk Class of 2029 | Gettysburg College

The Gettysburg community welcomed the Class of 2029 through the First-Year Walk, a time-honored tradition during which students retrace the steps students, faculty, and townspeople took in 1863 to hear President Abraham Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address at the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

"I hope you'll take seriously Lincoln's message about doing right for those who died for our democracy," said History Prof. Michael Birkner ’72, P’10, who was given the honor of reciting Lincoln’s immortal address. "If you do, you'll have done your duty as citizens."
