Mr.. PREsIDENT,
AnuneHpected cell is made on Iae which. though
having every disposition to comply with, ! feel ain

We have assembled as the friends associates and
oWsineh OF our respected Guest seated by your side
we nave s::icc'cd this opportunity ind this mode To

sense OF his merits, and blr Testimony 10 Its viz

rlpeness. lie was never known the leader OF t4e
tunultuous trohc or the athletic ganIc but liz Wl
yer foremost i'll tho classical exercises OF the school,
and bore away The p;ihu il the themes OF bis class.
Yet his SUCCESS Inspired no envy gave birth TO no
eninity tor 1t was accompanied with arrogance, and
then, now he inspired respect und cstec ia tcs,
who surrounded and WHO knew him.
The departure of DR.. Patterson from OFF city is .
serious loss to the circles of his friends, il
10 loss to the many societies Of which he ins been a
active member, is loss 10 the University IL which
he has been distinguished Professor.
This institution do him honor in no mode more
gratifying to Il just pride, than by nianGsg the val
ne OF his services, in seeking to repace tLcl by tic
successful selection Of Of not unequal lner-
1t and character, and the eXerton Of generous rival
ship with the school that has called and wan hin from

In taking leave of DR.. Patterson, those around Inc

ourselves or relaxation In the ardent love end pursuit
OF science. Hume ego non dilgaIn-non admircr?
