TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

Gerrhuteri, 9 Grafton street, Feb. 13, 1856.
HAVING now taken my seat in the House of
Commons, allow me to thank you most sincerely for the
high honour you have conferred upon me by returning me to
Parliament as one of your representatives.
In accepting the trust which his been thus confided to me, I
cannot but feel a deep—l bad plmost said an overwhelming—
sense of the arduous duties and grave responsibilities which
such a distinction must necessarily impose on me. Nor is that
feeling in any way diminished by bearing in mind the distin-
guished merits ut my late lamented friend, ➢lr. Goulburn,
whom now by your kindness lam called upon to succeed. It
will be my aim and object to emulate hint in the constant
attention which he unitortnly raid to the strairs of the Uni-
versity; and, though I am unable to bring to your aid that
large experience, tried ahility, and practical usefulness which
he emplot ed in your service during twenty years, I will strive,
at any rate, to make up for this deficiency by devoting myself to
the promotion of your idterests, which, in my opinion. are closely
identified with the b•st interests of the coun•.ry
To those meml•ers of the Senate who have honoured me with
their support on this occasion I beg to repeat my most heartfelt
gratitude. fo those who have opposed we I can truly say that
their courtesy and kindness even in the midst of a contested
elec ion will not casily be forgotten. To one and all 1 way,
therefore, add. that it will be to me the greatest pleasure, as
It unquestionably is my bounden duty, to do my best to sustain
the welfare of our common University, to assist in its improve•
went, to maintain its efficiency, and to promote as far as lies in
my power its permanent prosperity.
I have the honour tube, Gentlemen,
With sincere respect,
Tour faithful and obedient servant,
S. H. WALPOLE.
