OUR CLINTON CORRESPONDENCE
CLINTON, July 10, 1850.
For many years il has been my good fortune to at
tend upon many Of the most prominent college commence
ments Of the Northern States and witness their varied
characteristics pon, OF all the different elements that
mark them-such the learned men they invariably call
together dvnes, poets, scholars statesmen, disciples
OF the fathers medicine, legsts juriscousuts, and
men of both commercial and learned leisure. But Of all
such must confess that the forty ninth annual
celebration literary progressveness and high charac
ter OF Hamilton College has struck being the very
intensfcation of a college commencement This view
forces itself upon my mind from variety of reasons
prominent among which the situation OF the institution,
the peculiar char Of the surrounding country and its
rustic inhabitants, who convert the commencement day
into a sort of gala time which may be most properly
I'LL.
