'Hero-Worship: A Baccalaureate Sermon' presents the address delivered by John Bascom to the graduating class of the University of Wisconsin in 1885. Bascom, a prominent philosopher and university president, explores the concept of hero-worship as a fundamental aspect of human nature and its influence on individual and societal development. The sermon delves into the ethical dimensions of admiration and emulation, cautioning against blind devotion while advocating for the recognition of true virtue and moral excellence. Bascom’s insights into character formation and social values offer timeless wisdom, inviting readers to consider the impact of their chosen heroes on their personal growth and the betterment of society.
