CHERISH THE OLD.
First in our gratitude and praise we
cherish the cd, for the noble founders of
our institution, whose benevolent hearts
and broad conceptions have done SO much
to honor and ennoble this nation, and not
only this nation, but the whole world.
Death has not destroyed the fruits of their
exalted lives, and the voice of future ages
shall repeat with reverent love the names
of Stanley. Beaman, Leffingwell, Hooker,
Clark, Joslin, Spicer, Miner and many others
who at that time were trustees of the Troy
c1nerento academy, to these we owe debt
of gratitude as the founders of our cher
ished institution. Their spirits still live in
those who succeed them, and who continue
their protection and labor Ger this-the
noble monument of their beneflcence. In

imagination, but in thinking of the known
good it has done. it inspires us to greater
zeal to work for the future. The memory
of those who have guided it, and labored
so faithfully to make it an advantage to the
world is sacredly cherished by all. Among
these are Stocking, Curry, Covcl, Peck,
Newman, Faville, Walker, Poor, Collins,
and Manley. DR.. Peck now one Of the
Bishops of the Methodist church, man
standing high in literary as wellas religious
attainments. OF his distinguished career
as president of one of our first college we
all know. To these as also to DR. Went
worth, Cone, Chadbournc and Hooker we
would express the high sense we have Of
| their wisdom, and untiring energies in max
ing it an institution of the highest order.
They can not be too highly praised for their
efforts in watching over the welfare of those
under their charge with anxious solicitude
and with earnest care for their spir-
itual as well rs intellectual advance
ment. We deeply feel the insufliciency OF
our poor words to do justice to their good
ness, whic by some of them is continued,

follow in their steps shall likewise do
