Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Law Academy of Philadelphia, on the Opening of the Session 1831-2 Ten years have elapsed since this Institution was established in its present form and under its present name. Before. That time there had existed only ephemeral associations of students of law, denomi nated Law Societies, which seldom lasted more than two or three years, and were never heard of beyond the walls, where, without compass to steer by, and without guides in whom they could confide, they performed their modest exercises. It was my good fortune, in the winter of 1784-5, or perhaps in that which next preceded it, for my recollection is not very particular on this point, to be a member of one of those societies, with the late but for ever illustrious Judge Washington, who at that early period of his life displayed the germ of those talents by which he was afterwards so eminently distinguished, and won the affection of his fellow students by the excellence of his heart. What became of that Society after I left it, I have not been able to learn; one more 'of its members only I remember, John Wilkes Kittera.
