Rev. Daniel Waldo, as the Oldest gradu

closed speech TO the assembled Alum

II ain now an old man. l have seen
nearly century. Do you want 10 grow
old slowly and happily' Let me tell
you. Always eat slowly-masticate well.
Go to your food, 10 your rest, to your
occupation smiling. Keep good nature
and soft temper everywhere. Never give
way to anger. A violent tempest of
passion tears down the constitution more
than a typhus fever. Cultivate a good
memory, and to do this you must always
be communicative repeat what yOo have
read; talk about it. DR. Johnson's great
memory was owing to bis communicative
ness. You young men are just leaving
college. let me advise you 10 choose a
profession in which you can exercise
your talent the best, and at the same
time be honest. The hest profession is
the ministry Of the gospel. Ifyoa have
not talents enough to be minister, be a
lawyer-but be an honest lawyer. Pope's
lines should be altered to read:
Gan honest lawyer is the noblest work Oi
