Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni Association of the College of New Jersey: September 28, 1842 Gentlemen Alumni - After the lapse of another year, we have again assembled within the shades of that venerable hall, where, in times past, we pondered over the pages of science, and imbibed instruction from the lips of age. It is pleasing, from the pursuits of active life, to revisit spots consecrated by the recollections of early friendship, and the memory of past events. Amidst these secluded groves associations were formed, which, though long interrupted, have never been forgotten. Looking back upon the years that have passed, memory, tenacious of early scenes, recals a thousand incidents which fill the mind with pleasing, though melancholy, emotions. Of the brilliant prospects here imagined, of the ardent hopes here indulged, but few have been realized. How seldom have the scenes which youthful imagination had portrayed, been presented on the expanded theatre of human life? How many of those whom we here knew, exulting in the possession of youthful energies, bounding towards life with anticipations of future glory, cut off, in the "midst of their days," have been gathered to the homes of their fathers?
