'• Agreeably to my protnife, I row rakf
up my pen to give yon fmie account of the
commencement held in the univerfitv o,
I'cnnfylvania on the joth of. Mjy ultimo
lor the purpose of conferring the degree o'
Doctor on the graduates in medicine.
The hour of tfn, in the forenoon wa
fixed upon for this important business
Anxotis to fee awd remark the procedure.
I was pmic 111 I to the moment. After
w aitnig for some time, expectation on tip
toe fancied tieiy nc ife the approach of the
pro< 1 flion. A 1: in ing. milling, Imflfrr
kind of a roife at length (pretty much lik.
that of a nor-wef.er amongst me leaves in
autumn) announced the arrival of the ac
tors. The trnflees of the inftifution took
tiie lerd. 7he profeflo'rs, caparisoned in
their pontificaJibus ai-d holici.-y laces, p.p
ps-'ied and took their feats; tile graduates
followed, arrayed in tittered fable gowns.
arid were niarihallca confronting the pro
feilors.
The scene, at this ft age of the business.
had truly a ludicrous appearance. It wa l
fir more like a court of judicature than a
place where honours or titles were to be
ccnferre I; so like aufljre jtidjes did the
one party appear, and so very like accused
jferfons the other.
The cultomary exordium being over,
ench graduate produced what he called a
thesis. Nothing could be more farcical or
fc'ifgullinj, particularly as it was but too
notorious that some were attempting to
defend, as their own, productions which
they had never written. So fhamefully
proud were they ot" their cornuted brains.
Each inquisitor had his victim previously
marked out lor examination, who proved
in I/aac, or a Scape Goat in proportion to
the good underftaiiding which fublifted be
tween the parties. After some time a con
versation took place between two of the
attors, in a language I did not underfland.
inquiring of a gentleman, who fat next
me, what was now ihe matter? I was an
'rtcred, -'A Latin thefts yet I doubt
much v i ether Cicero or Tacitus, if pre
l-'nt, could underltand one word, either of
r !ie thesis or dialogue. The gentleman
deled, " The man who examines is a half
r>rof t llbr in the inft tution, and at present
in avowed enemy to Latin, altho' he avail
d himlelf ot the olsfcurity of that lan
guage. when he had o'ccafion to publilh his
>robationary thelis to the world "
The exsf/ i'latiuti bt g concluded, next
me on the bulinefs ol conferring degrees.
! hU wai ihe mofl unaccountable part of
he business, lor the procrf in the'eonrfe of
tew miniites, by an inexplicable meta
norpholis, transmuted tiine simple fouig
>e■. into as many doctors, by merely ex
ending to each a ltrip of parchr-.eni. and
uteri rig at the fame time a Latin exorcism :
he fpeil was a powerful one. The con
lufion was, however, really excellent. It

'• I had the plealure of writing \ou per

ince. this country has been in a mofl dif--

here never was so many failures known
is there has been within thrfe two lad
