Response by
PROF. WILCOX.

Mr.. PRESIDENT Tho personal COM
pliment so generously rendered to my pro-
fessional service and the confidence i'm
piled, call at least for grateful acknowl-
edgement; and | must heartily accord it.
Allusion has been made to me as cult
vator of the intellectual soil. AS such [
rejoice in the demonstration of to-day as
afording the hope of better tools. I like
the feld-it is ample, like the soil, it is
new and fertile, it has never been sown
with tares or overrun with weeds, or in
jnred by bad tillage. 1t is q soil that IS
rather enriched than impoverished by
culture. With judicious labor and with
the genial sunshine of public favor and the
gentle dews of its charity, we hope to
raise something on this worthy field that
may enrich the public garner, and give
vigor and strength and beauty and digni4
ty to the body polite.

gestions and enrich philosophy with still
nobler contributions. If this may not be,
there surely can be nurtured here, many,
who can attain to all the excellencies of
the intelligent private citizen, the genuine
philanthropist. The drop of water that
is obscurely ascending the roots of some
useful plant, is as important to the world
as that which reflects to us the gorgeous
ness of the rainbow.
II learning is thus conservative and ell
evating to tho interests of our common
country, how can we better show our love
to her, than by sustaining such institu-
tons, educational or otherwise rs make
truth reverenced, liberty dear, life desir-
able and human rights and responsibilities
sacred. He who wonld shrink from such
duty would desert the standard of his
country, when her honor or her liberties
were in peril. He dishonors his ancestry
who withheld neither treasure nor blood
torepel disgrace.
He robs posterity of their hopes, and is
recreant to every human obligation.
In this section, it j. our prerogative to
lay firmly the foundations of social order,
Of national liberty, of all things embraced
in the idea ofa dignifed, civilized State.
We can, and shall leave an indelible i'm
press upon its future history; and there
is no one In our community upon whom
the burden of measureless responsibility
does not now fall, for that history will be
an imperisbable monument to our integ-
rity, our forecast, our fidelity to the great
interests providently committed to our
care, OF it will cover our names with burn
ing rfproach.
May He who presides over the destinies
of Nations Undue us with that tireless pub
lie spirit and that enlightened patriotism,
that will acquit us, when coming genera
tons shall review our deeds, and the
Judge of all the earth, call for our stew
ardship.

envy. They have done what they could
more could not be said--less should not.
Response by,
G. w. PRATT.
ssThey have done what they could" is
indeed the highest praise ever bestowed
upon man.
1t is source Of pride and pleasure to
receive it from our fellow citizens. May
it stimulate us to greater efforts to deserve
it.
It as true to-day as when first uttered that
monuments of learning are more enduring
than monuments of MARBLE If Wiscon-
sin shall ever be celebrated in story or in
song, she will owe it not to her majes-
tic lakes and noble riyers-not to the rich
ness of her soil-not to her forests Of
Pine, or the inexhaustible treasures Of her
mines, but to the intelligence of her citi-
zens, and the cultivated mind that dwells
within her borders. The building of Lit
erary Institutions becomes then,sa matter of
untold Importance. And when we shall
all be called to give an account of our
stewardship to the Great Master above,
whatever we may have to regret we
shall not regret that we have done too
much for the glorious cause of Education.
If true to our trust, we may transmit to
posterity, institutions whose object and
nature is to bless mankind, and whose in
fiuence viii continue to be felt when ali
material things shall have crumbled to
dust.
Let our course be, not like the changing
tides that ebb and flow at the moons fck-
10 bidding, but rather "like the Pontic
Sea whose icy current and compulsive
course meier knows retiring ebb, but keeps
due onward to the Propontic aad the
Hellespont."

The New ENGLAND STATES: A good
Nursery for youth, but they need trans
planting into the expansive fields OF the
West to mature and develop the man.
Response by
]. I. PRATT.
The business of transplanting from the
nursery of the pilgrim fathers, commenced
when New York was the West, and Ohio
the far yest. Illinois and Wisconsin
were too far away to enter even the a0o-
king dreams of the good people OF those
DAYS, as the home of civilization. In these
wonderful days of progress, lightning and
steam have made these States and old
Massachusetts, near neighbors. With such
facilities as now, the process of trans
planting is going on more rapidly than
ever. Many choice varieties are taking
deep root in the fertile soil of the West,
bringing forth much fruit; and among
the best specimens, are those taken from
the nurseries Of Ethan Allen and Bunker
Hill.

John Bull is soon expected to send us

In behalf of the committee Of arrange

CARDS, for their untiring efforts in their
laudable enterprise.
Mr.. H. A. Taylor then addressed the
committee as follows -
LADIEs:-I seem compelled to an
swer. Yet 1 hardly know what to say,
or how to say it. The fact is | never had
as big cake, in my life, and don't know
what to do with it. Like lobster in
scalding water, my feelings, come faster
than my words
This compliment, seems doubled when
we think from whence it came. 1T
is Doman's offering" and woman is the
genius of the festivities of to-day
And woman, is ever foremost IN her de-
votion to the right.
We are here to celebrate the courage
of our forefathers, and woman is cour-
ageous. Although she is esteemed gen.
tie and loving yet
The bravest, are the tenderest,
The loving. are the naring.
The wreath of flowers encircling this
cake, remind us of the beauty of the ely
sian fields in which we dwell. Flowers
are the common heritage of all. And
we love to see them nourished and cared
for by woman's hand. If she has affec-
ton to bestow upon an humble flower it
shows she has somewhat for husband
or child.
And as the frosting of this cake, is
white, pure and free from stain, SO may
our sheet be free from every polluting
and defiling principle; and may our flu
ture couse be like the sentiment inscribed
upon this banner, " Pro Bono PUBLIco'
for the public good.
And now we would most sincerely thank

NATIONAL SONG.
Words by G. w. Pratt.
O, Columbia, the gem of the Ocean,
The home of the brave and free,
The shrine of the patriots devotion,
A world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes assemble
When Liberty form stands in view,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue.
When war winged its wide desolation,
And threatened the land to deform,
The Ark then of freedoms foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm.
With her garlands of victory around her.
AS so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the Red, White and Blue.
