the business his Lordship addressed the meeting in terms of
congratulation on the happy progress the institution had made
during the past year. We feel (said his Lordship) that in an
educational point of view it is our duty to keep pace with the
demands of the times ; and, looking to the results, I think I
may safely say that we arc before them. " For myself," said
his Lordship, " I take a peculiar pleasure in classical educa-
tion, and enjoy unmixed delight in coming to King's College
as often as I possibly can, and viewing the pupils brought up
in godliness and love."
