lIessrs Editors / was present for some hours
this morning at the examination of the graduating |
class of this excellent institution, and in case of your
being unprovided with better report take the liberty
of sending you a slight account of the exercises.
Immediately after my entrance, a composition en-
titled " Beauty was read by young lady, whose
pleasing appearance and modest demeanor, furnished
an agreeable illustration of her subject, as did also
the language in which her lofty and poetcal ideas
were clothed The next exercise was the examination
of class in Intellectual Philosophy the members OF
which seemed profoundly versed in the rudiments OF
that abstruse science explaining in concise language
the various theories regarding the human mind and
its operations, the origin of ideas, miracles, first
truths ETC. Though all the young ladies who partici-
pated in this recitation acquitted themselves creda-
bly, some five or six far surpassed their companions
in readiness. After the reading Of a composition on
the subject of Endless Mutation" which displayed
considerable literary ability, class in English htera-
ture was called upon. Sketches of the lives of most
of the principal British poets, Commencing with
Chaucer,) with short selections from some Of their
most quotabe productions, were given in lively and
spirited manner which plainly showed that the young
critics were deeply interested in the subject. Well
might they be. more important one does not enter
into their plan of study, and the tastes acquired
during its pursuit may exert happy influence on
many future hour, which otherwise would be passed
| in pining discomfort or frivolous amusement
| After an ntermission of ten minutes the exercises
recommended by the reading of some choice articles
from I" The Violet" paper edited by some OF the
Young ladies of this course. First came " leader
| which would not have disgraced the columns of
many more pretending sheet; then an essay on
Works OF Fiction in which the principal novels of
! Scott were discussed in a manner which evidenced
that the young essayst was not talking from hearsay
but was perfectly familiar with the works Of which
she spoke. Most of the pieces which followed were
either literary criticism selections from the various
journals the most interesting of which were eulo
CYSTIC defence of Byron as man and poet, and some
graveyard reflections of rather a sombre hue, but
well written and most exqusitey read. There was
also very entertaining letter to Washington Irving,
informing him of an accusation of plagiarism re.
Gently brought against him, and calling on him, for
the sake of American literature to come out and re-
flute the charge.
II would be tedious to particuarize further, suffice
it to say that all the fair journalists eyinced in their
productions considerable TALENT so cultivated as to do
great credit to their diligence and the unremit
ting exertions of their Jealous teacher.
The room was crowded with visitors and the Occa
sion seemed very gratifying one to all and must
have been especially so to the teacher who has as
sisted at the gradual unfolding of so many mmorta
minds the Superintendent, whose cheering visits and
