The parties assembled the platform about ten at
time, when the Chancellor read to them in Latin
the necessary form, which each prescribed to and
viduas excited considerable attention, particularly
among the ladies, he was fine looking young man,
but perfectly blind. This part of the proceedings
having been gone through, the band in the choir
struck up,
Home, sweet home"
Prof. DRAPER came forward to deliver the address
He commenced by taking cursory review OF the
transtOry nature of all things, and proceeded to
mark upon the personal history of a physician,
tracing the objects, expectations and friendships
formed while studying together, and oberved that
the moments Of parting were the best for giving
advice, and would avail himself thus of doing So
he gentleman then proceeded to give some very
excellent and able admontions to those,present d.
rectng them in their future course Of action, that
would not only bring honor but emolument upon
them. And said those men who look upon riches
as the grand object OF human attainment are mis-
taken; If the choice OF reputation riches be be-
fore you take the former and you will secure both
for reputation is power-and power is wealth. The
accidents which occur in the life of man owe
all their value to the use he makes OF them. A
COLLECTION ot pearls is of little worth-it becomes
an article of personal ornament only after the Jew
els are strung upon thread 1t is that invisible
thread that gives the necklace Its value. The
gentleman then proceeded 10 show that the medi-
cal profession had been the Of
the human race, and pointed out several instances.
Their high standing in society was caused by their
philanthropy andsntegrity, and hoped that all would
persevere to maintain the same position. He said
that it was to them above all that the words of the
poet most aptly applied
Above all pain all passions and all pride,
Above the reach of fhterys baleful breath,
The lust Of lucre and the dread Of desth"
He then recommended to them a s,eadfastness
OF purpose, and pointed out 10 them in the most
glowing and feeling terms, the example OF their
blind fellow student In conclusion he said,that gui-
ded by these feelings and principles, In the course
Of years you may aspire to share in that fame
which belongs TO the highest name IN the profess
sion, and TO crafty that instructive craving to be
remembered in future times, which Is the wish
both OF the good and the great. The genius OF
this temple now looks down upon as witness
ing the parting Of friends in this world for ever
There are friendships that never decay, there are
thoughts which are never wiped out. The scene
that 10 ending-the words ofthe speaker-may at
some distant day, perhaps in the forests of the far
West, flash across your memories. May the recol-
lection find you dischargng all the duties of vIrtu
Gus citizens, and IN the possession OF honor and
able and talented address, of which ths is but an
outline, amid very strong expression Of approba-
ton.
Professor Mason then made brief prayer, and
the business Of the assembly terminated.
