Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered in the Church at Princeton: The Evening Before the Annual Commencement of the College of New Jersey, September 27, 1831 There are some present - tho' the eyes, 'the smiles, and the Complexions Of youth remind me there can be but few who may remember that he, who has now the honor to address them, quitted this very platform, bidding farewell to collected friends and to collegiate life, exactly one and twenty years ago. My young brethren, in Obedience to whose summons I must awhile trespass upon your attention, have since sprung into existence - have been carefully fashioned by the hands Of parents and Of preceptors - and will to-morrow, with spirits as buoyant and hopes as exhilarating as mine then were, launch upon the boundless, the uncertain, but ever attractive world - I come, like the veteran mariner, to Consult with them on their contemplated voyage - to hint how'they may best provide for its happy progress and its honorable end - and to give them the onward cheer and hearty benediction Of a brother and a friend.
