Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions, Vol. 1 IN discharging the honorable trust of being the public organ of your sentiments on this occasion, I am anxious that the hour, which we here pass together, should be occupied by those reflec tions exclusively, which belong to us as scholars. Our associa tion in this fraternity is academical; we engaged in it before our Alma Mater dismissed us from her venerable roof, to wander in the various paths of life; and we have now come together in the academical holidays, from every variety of pursuit, from almost every part of our country, to meet on common ground, as the brethren of one literary household. The professional cares of life, like the conflicting tribes of Greece, have proclaimed to us a short armistice, that we may come up in peace to our Olympia.
