Young Gentlemen Of the College,:

10uRS UeHiteWeH ~ tHe COttcSe.
En,cring upon The office 10 which the
Trustees have appointed me. ] have
thought it not inappropriate TO present
myself TO you in somewhat formal
way, and 10 make few remarks which
the occasion seems to justify.
The intimate relations which ale here
after TO subsisl between US, involving
very grave responsibilities on my part,
and the deepest interests ofliie on yours,
will be the more readily and efficiently
established by an exposition of my un-
ders'andiug Of uur most prominent res-
pectivr duties, and of the feelings and
purposes with which now assume mlnc.
i has been the pleasure of the Trus
tees to call me from walks of life very
remote from those | now enter upon.
For many past years | have been busy
amidst the active pursuits of men, taking
some paris in affairs, where the conflict
of interest, the colIissionof intellect. and
the tumult Of strenuous and slormy pas,
sons, left but little leisure for those
cain, and medhatlve employments Which
are the occupation within these walls.
After thirty years absence from them,
Ir,turu, but in new and trying condi-
ton; with sympathies in all your pur.
suits, II be sure, and tastes no: entire y
alieniated from science and literature,
but with a deep and fearful anxiety that
l may, indc"d must be unqualified 10
discharge the trust as it ought to be.
Under conscious deficiency, would
have sIlrunk from this "f1]cr, but thai !
yielded my opinion to that Of those
for whose judgment and experience, and
knowledge of the Institution, | have an
entire Difference. OF that Board OF
Trustees, whose cormaDd obey, can
safely affirm, ,lhat having in the chances
of life, been occasionally thrown with
men distinguished by the consent of. The
whole couulry,-F have. NOT found any
where, even in those exalted stations 10
which asnaGon's interests calls its most

Maria sings! ye woods around,

Lis, as ye did. in by-gone days,
When Orpheus sang his magic lays,
And savage monsters Of the wood,
Forgot their wonted wralhful mood,

And knelt and licked the poets hands.

And seem'd delighted and amazd;
And as she swept the light guitar.
