The CHAIRMAN then rose and said,—Gentlemen,
gives me material pleasure to preside over this assembly,
as I find much cause for praise and none for censure.
The reports of the governor and of the public examiner
assure me that discipline has gone on, as it were, spon-
taneously, and that attention and devotion to your
duties have been the general rule, with scarcely any ex-
ception. For these results we are indebted, in the first
place, to your own diligence and devotion to the service,
and next to the zeal and ability of your masters. To
the lieutenant-governor, to the professors, to the public
examiner, I beg leave to return the best thanks of the
Court of Directors. (Applause.) Such of you, gentle-
men, as have been selected for the Corps of Engineers
will proceed at once to Chatham, where you will be
placed under the command of that distinguished officer
who directs the studies of the Royal Engineers. Ther
is now a great demand for public works in India, such
as railroads, canals, and electric telegraphs, and for con-
structing these works the Company requires the services
of able and zealous officers of the Engineers. You will,
therefore, proceed to Chatham, where you will have
ample time and oftleftfinity Affortdeti you for obtaining
a sufficient knowledge both of civil and military engineer-
ing, lam sure that success here will be followed by
suttees theta, Mid that you will thus enable the Court
of Directors to strengthen the hands of the Go vernor-
General of India, 13,:yr Benditid otit to Ms assigttitlee able,
