'fame,: that the public may he the better enahUd to judge of the prefent fituation of the Inf itution and of the fyjlem of EaftruSlion and government now to he carried into operation. “ TT - jP >NTERING on the duties which now devolve on me, lavail myfelf of the earli- eft opportunity of addrefliing to you, young gentlemen, who are fo, deeply interefted in the welfare of this Inftitution, a few obfer- vations. It is impoflible to (land in this place, with out feeling mingled emotion, of joy and for- \ow . Moft fincercly do I deplore the un timely removal of thof\ Excellent and vener able men who have preceded me ; moft fin- ccTcly do I deplore that feries of unpropiti- ous events which have impeded the .exertions of your £nftru£tors, and prevented them from carrying into cffcdl that moft excellent fyftem of education which the board of Truf- teeshave wifely adopted. Hitherto you have experienced great incon veniences from your dif^erfed fituation as ■ well as from the frequent changes, which have taken place among the ' Officers of In- ftrudion. The period has however at length arrived, when the buildings are fo far com pleted, that the whole of the bufinefs of Col lege, may be brought within its.,walls ; and the fyftem. of education *tahd . goycrnnjcnt, tors, who will continue with you the whole of ftudy hours, the witneffes of your diligence and the expofitors of your difficulties. In ftudyiflg the learned languages, the ufe of tranilations will be altogether prohibited ; and the ftudent will hereafter, be required to hand a written tranflation of the whole or fuch parts of his leffonas^he lhall be direffed. The defe£ts of which will be pointed out to the clafs by the profeffor. To fecure the more certain execution o£ | that fyftem which,-c?innot fail to recommend | itfelf to the public—ta furnifii yxjur parents and guardians with greater fecurity for your nanners, your education and your morals— I fhall myfelf .(as will all the other officers of inftru£l:ion) refidc with you, in the college edifice, eat with you at the fapie table, and confider you at once, my .pupils and my fam-' iiy.. I need not tell you, that a due improve ment of the prefent qpportupity^ is of vaft importance. To you, young gentlemen, every moment as it flies is precious—doubly precious. Youth is the feafdn for prepara tion, The lofs of youth, therefore, is more than the lofs of time. Your prefent condudl is enftamping itfelf | upon your future chara^er. . A few days will terminate your collegiate life—a few days will prefent you aflors on the great theatre of the ;^plld. The part you are there to a d , in hu- probability, depends much on your at tainments here. To know what you will be, you have only to alk what you ar^. In pro portion as you wifti to excel in after life, in the fanic proportion be cntiulous to excel now. Learning and virtue are the way to greatnefs. .Your Country is looking to you for ftatefmen to advocate her rights in the fenate—for iudg- es to adminifter juftice in her courts-^Thc church is looking to you for defenders of her faith, and for minifters to wait in the temple ofher God, Your parents feel an intereft deep and abiding in your welfare, and arc waiting with folicitude the iffue of your edu cation. Did you need higher motives to dil igence, to circumfpedion, to virtue, they may be derived from the m andates of t b a t G od , who will judge you, and the realities of THAT ETERNITY WHICH AWAITS YOU.” clfcd. From this tlioe you are to confider th e edifice in which ypu are now aflcmbled as your home, ‘‘The prefent is the commence ment pf a new era in this Inftitudon and I pray God it may be a happy one. That this may be the cafe, ho exertions on our part will be wanting; and we truft that none will be on yours. In an inftitution of this kind, efpecially when ftudents refide under the fame roof and eat at the fame table, you all muft be fenfible of the- neceffity of fubordination of fyftem—You muft he alfo fenfible of the neceffity of obferving the m p fifr/cl decorumt fobriety and poUtenefs in every part o f the Col lege edifice—-in the chapel—lu the dining- hall—in cvery apartment and in all the detail of the bufinefs of College. The laws are in your hands, which pre- feribe your duty. In framing thofe laws, the truftees had your good in yiew as the objedl. The fame objedi, we truft, will be kept In view by us, whole duty it is to ex ecute them. You miift expe<a difeipUhe to be maintained with PUNcTiLious exactness , with SCRUPULOUS UNIFORMITY.' Not indeed the difeipline of a tyrant, whp delights ip er ror, and is pleafed with occafions fof punllh- ment, but of a parent whofe Watchfulnefs fprings from afle^ion, and 'whofe. chaftife- ments are prompted apd tempered by love. To your advancement in feience and your improvement in morals, will be dire^ed our exertions and our prayers. We know that perfc£l:ion is not in man; wc fliall not thcre^ fore expe£fpetfe£fidn in you. The reftraints however, which, the laws of College impofe, and the duties they enjoin, are obvious— they arc rcafonabic—they arc indilpenfible they muft be invariably attended to. Your own good fenfe, the love you bear your parents, the defire of rifing to future •eminence, and above alii, the happinefs which fprings from the approbation of confcicnce a nd of God, will wc hope, induce you all to be decorous in ybuf manners, circumfpcdl in your morals, arid diligent and ardent in your collegiate purfuits. But Ihould there be any, who regafdlefs of thcfc^noblc motives and ir reclaimable by reproof, purfue a contrary conduft,' Wc ihaiT lament the depravity of fuch individuals md infantly remove them from this college, as unworthy to participate in its advantages, Qt to enjoy the honor of being your companions.
