DELIVERY OF WOODS MEDAL.
The next feature in the interesting exer-
cises of the evening was the delivery OF
Woods medal by Judge R. w. Wright, OF
this city, to Mr. p. II. Eager, of Mississippi,
who had been selected az the best declaimer
of the College. In delivering the medal
Judge Wright said: FL.
AR. Edqer-I have the pleasant, and al
the same time embarrassing, duty of pre-
senting to YOU, in behalf of Richmond Col
lege. the Woods medal for superior excel
lence in defamation. The embarrassment
lies in the fact that the committee assigning
r,e this duty have not three medals to bestoW
uDon the contestants instead of one for the
contest was so close, and the scales of merit
so evenly balanced, in the case of two Others
contesting for The prize with you, That we
found no little difficulty in making the actual
assignment of it. make this statement IN
Justice both to the committee and of the
Young gentlemen SO creditably contcsting
with you for this honorable prize i.
Little more is left me to say in making this
pres entation-the specific duty assigned me
py the committee. But DR.. Curry has rs
sured us that whatever you and your COM
panions have achieved in the art OF declama.
ton is due to yourselves alone; that you
have had no instruction whatever in elocul-
cution during the past year. This clrcum'
stance makes your true merit all the more
CONSPICUOUS, and the medal all the more
honorable as a badge of distinction. This
am justified by the committee in saying from
the very creditable exhibition given them and
the public the other night in the Grace
Street church. .1-g <-!G yrt.,s
Accept this badge Of merit, then, MIR.
Eager, as an honor bestowed upon you by
Richmond ColleSe-an institution which l
trust will be your proud alma Mater
through life-and letyour public and private
career be such, when you shall go out from
this institution, that you shall reflect back this
honor in a splendid example of manhood, to
whatever field of professional labor Of duty
you may be called. And remember, always
remember, the most excellent maxim OF
Seneca in regard to oratory, which the world
will invariably accept and follow: E1ge
cum. cujus tibi placutt ct ulG ct 0r.aho.n
Chose such style OF manhood ana ora
tory for yourself that the world shall ap-
prove YOUR life-example even more highly
than your cloquence. l present you with
the Woods medal.
The presentation over, Mr.. Eager was the
recipient of hearty applause and soodiy
number of bouquets.
