His class was to meet this evening. They must take
the motto. multum, not muiG. His class was not az
distinguished as that of 1870 They had given to the
world no name worldwide; none who had grded
the world with the flashes of thought; yet they had
given 10 the College one who was beyond all oompe-
titiop their best scholar and one who maintained the
reputation Of this ancient institution.

Statesman was there than John c. Calhoun, who was
