Of 1882 thus closed speach to the assembled
Alumni:
~ am now an old man. have seen nearly
century. Do you want TO know how to grow
old slowly and happily? Let me tell you. Al
ways eat slow-masticate we'll. Go to your
food, TO your rest, to your occupations, smiling
Keep good nature and soft temper everywhere
Never give way to anger. A violent tempest
of anger tears down the constitution more than
o typhus fever. Cultivate good memory and
to do this you must always be communicative;
repeat what you have read, talk about it. DR.
Johnson's great memory was owing to his com.
municativeness. You young men, who are just
leaving college, let me advise you to choose a
profession in which you can exercise your tai
ent the best, and still be honest. The best pro-
fession is the ministry of the Gospel. Ifyou
have not talents enough to be minister, be q
lawyer-but be an honest lawyer. Pope's line
should be altered to read:
Gan honest lawyer is the noblOst work of God"
