Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Alumni and Graduating Class of the University of Wednesday, June 3, 1840
We have returned again to the haven whence, too, our barks were launched on its boundless surface. Combining the ex perience of the past with our knowledge of the present, we may claim to bestow some reflections on the future. Under such circumstances, it becomes our duty not only to form for ourselves new resolutions of perseverance in rectitude - to stimulate virtue and warn against vice; but also to point out to others, our successors, the paths of duty and of honour; to guard them against the temptations and allurements by which they are encompassed; and to supplicate them to be steadfast in the performance of the obligations to themselves, their country and their God, by which their own happiness and renown shall be secured - the nation's welfare establish ed - and the only true purpose of human existence fulfilled in bliss throughout the countless ages of eternity.
