Description: On June 28, 1827, Joseph Caldwell delivered a commencement address to the graduating class.  His topic was the education at the time that still leaned to the classic languages and literature instead of embracing more modern subjects such as the sciences and adding such languages as Spanish and French.  He concludes that education should expand to both views but that the Gospel of Christ should not be forgotten.
