the poor people of our beloved city. Applause.
The Commissioners thought it their duty TO open 10
the faculty the institutions which they had the
honor to govern in order to afford the best possible
oppOrtun es for carrying forward the interests Of
science, OF which every man, woman, and child
should reap the benefit. This thought came from ae-
! sociation with the Medical Board. He took great
pride in sayingthat long this institution retained
/ Tor ts government such men az the devoted, self
sacrificing laborers who were now in charge 10 wOud
ever be an honor TO the City OF New York.
They should be honored and respected, for
| they had labored night and day, to his Ger.
tain knowledge. lie was confident that the Com.
missiOners Of Charities and the Trustees would
vi tie with the boari Of medical gentlemen to make
this institution what il was intended TO be. While
so united, be wOutd remark that the Commissioner
of Public Charities desired TO he regarded merely az
the protectors Of the interess of such as are under
| their charge. The young men benefited by priv
eges here afforded should in no case allow discredi'
10 attach TO tho institution. They should in future
show 10 the world that they are not unmindiul OF
the true interests of every individual falling under
their care; be he or ahe ever 20 poor or miserable,
they should always he found ready TO protect them
in every dilemma Of life. lApplanse.l

was not the first time that he had heard the sound of
his own voice and he not afraid OF that sound.

in the presence OF scientific gentlemen, of distin-

prove in the least interesting it would be because he
had not the slightest knowledge of the sciences con-
nected with medicine Laughter and applansel lie
would only say that although be had not studied
medical books, he thought when young man and
student in college he was very fortunate in avoiding
that snare aughterl, for he never knew one OF his
fellow students that read medical books that old not

professon, from which he then related some inter-
estng facts. Under the favorable auspices Of the
inauguration lie believed this College would serve to
elevate sl more the science Of medicine. IL seemed
TO him that there two classes, one the killers
and the other the cuTers. lie knew poor country

] The Rev. f.. III. CHAPS observed that many OF
our greatest institutions grew out OF the existence
of evil. Justice and law were made palpaoe by
the existence OF those very passions with which the
legal profession was concerned The profession o!
the doctor apd clergyman were especially allied be-
cause both If true we're heaers, dellyerers. To be
sure one might be of the sou and the other OF the
body; but good clergyman had great deal 10 DO
with the bodies OF men, and he was sure there was
many physician who was physician TO the soul
as well as the body. Christ was not only great
teacher, but great Physician, and he exemPhhed
the two most wonderful developments OF the
age-beneyolence or practical Christianity, ana
science The speaker knew OF no other
profession that practically united tne
two as that of the physician inc III

Several voices called for DIR. Mott, who rose and
stated that there were other speakers provided for
the occasion.
/ JAWS I. BRADY was then introduced, and made
humorous speech, which was greatly enjoyed. For
the fret time in his life, he found himself occupying
an appropriate pomiOn-he was the last and the
leat' ss always At school. He thought he might
come in under Mr.. Diapers glitter Of generallIes,
for little of the merit respecting the present lDang-
uTaion though beyond the fact Of allowing himself
70 be called trustee he had in no way contributed
10 the succcss of tie institution. He iet that there
was a conspiracy TO keep him away-not by tn. Sc
gentlemen professors, but by TIE audience HOW
did they manage 10 keep these doors closed against
the admission Of the Faculty Certainly not "a
keep out the clergy nor the medical gentlemen but
because they had a suspicion there was some lawyer
\ there. lLaughter He complained of that, for II
he did not il would seem very strange indeed III

Mr.. Brady alluded eoqucnly 10 the pleasing excur-
sious Of the Gay, said something about the ngrail
tude with which practitioners Of law and medicine
are frequently rewarded, touched briefly upon the
waf aud closed by expressing the conviction that the
name and usefulness OF the Bellevue Medical College
would be perpetual.
The Rev. DIR. FERRIS pronounced a benediction
and the doctors then separated to lunch i'll the hos
pital building.
