Professor Puryear then explained that the
"Woods medal" awarded by the generosity
of Hiram Woods, Esq, of Baltimore, was
e., Iln hl it.b
mittee the " best declaimer." 1t had been
won this year by Mr.. a. B. Gunter, Of Acco.
mac county, Va, who was loudly applauded
of the Youngest of the students, Mr.. Gunter
has vet graduated in Latin and Greek besides
bearing oil the prize.
The medal was presented by Mr. &. V.
Meredith, of Richmond, in a very neat
speccb. in which he spoke Of the very great
importance of good delivery; quoted the
oninion of the ancient orator who said, when
asked for the best rules for success in ora
tory. "DclirerN, delivery, deRrery." He
Illustrated the value of good delivery by
.he sad condition of public speakers who do
not possess 1t, giving as Il notable example
Edmund Burke, whose splendid orationS,
which we read with such pleasure, were ac-
clstomed to empty the benches when de-
liycred. But he insisted that other qualities
besides a good delivery are necessary to con-
stitutc the true orator; said that few great
orators had ever lived; criticised some Of the
most distinguished speakers ofhistory (point-
ing out their defects; and earnestly urged
the Young medaist to cultivate bis talent
and seek after the highest excellence in ora
tory. As member of the committee who
oJr1; of I'D
pleasure to testify that it had been worthily
won over honorable and worthy competi-
tors.
DR.. Curry then came forward and said
that the distinguished gentleman who bad
James Alfred Jones, ESq.-beiug detained
by sickness, it bad unexpectedly devoved
upon him to deliver the 'Francis Gwinn y
medal in Philosophy to Mr. james Lyons,
Jr., of Richm ond.
DR.. Curry explained that this medal is the
Gift of an Alumnus OF the College, and
bears the honorcd name OF his mother.
He spoke earnestly and eso1uenty Of the
value of phiIo>ophy-em embracing logic,
ethics and mental science-and commended
il to his 'young friend,' flor he would lay
aside the. form lItics OF official intercourse
and address him, IS he felt towards all OF
the students, as worthy OF lifelong study.
The diploma which would presently ne
awarded Mr.. Lyons, together with this
medal, were tie highest testimonials which
he could give to the merit of the victor in
this contest. In a class of more than usual
ability, he had fairly won and should WORTH
" wear the " Frances Gwinn Medal,
There were next announced the names of
those who had been
Promoted in intermediate Glasses.
