foot by men who do not engage in vain
yisionarv or TRANSIENT undertakings! and
who have embarkod In this "A n matter OF
labor, care and attention for the balance
of their lives, and from no narrow, selash
or Igpoble purpose. They have an abiding
confidence In the success Of the iu,tltutIon,
because It's objects are useful, noble and
comprehensive In their ultimate results upon
the progress and high destiny OF the country.
That II would encounter opposition and dls-
arrangement from some quarters was to be
expected. No great and useful institution
was ever established without some opposl-
tlon and circumstances Of encouragement.
But however the narrow and selfish views
Of jealousy and envy may dlsparage or re-
tard lis progress, they cannot defeat the
ultimate success Of such an undertaking.
To facilitate the accomplishment Of its
comprehensive purposes the institution ls
divided into ten different and distinct organ
lied departments, comprehendlng within lts
scope all the several branches Of the moral
sciences, and Of the physical or natural
sciences, including Mathematics, engineer
ing, mechanics and art. The business Of this
Institution is not confined merely TO the
physical sciences, and limited and selected
part Of them, as some other institutions pro
Tossing nationality unfortunately have been
but II covers the whole field Of human
knowledge and art, and proposes all the ad
vantages OF associated odortj and BY the
division into various distinct departments,
each having its appropriate branches, II
eontemplates the accomplishment Of Its high
purposes In all the various branches Of
science, literature and art. Through the
medium of Its branches in the several States
ant Territories It is expected that the CO.
operation and concert Of action of the use
iul and valuable men Of the country, whether
distinguished for their proficiency In science,
literature or Art, or as the friends and pa
irons OF these aids in mans advancement
and elevation, can be secured. Thus the
cooperation aud concert ofthe distinguished
and efficient men Of Learning and science ii
every section Of the country, and especial!
those connected with the numerous univer
stiles, colleges, and other public institution
throughout the country, is sought and In
vlted. Washington Is favorabIy situated
for the Accomplishment OF that object. Tn,
