Excerpt from An Address on Primary Education You have incurred, my friends, in your pre sent position as members of this ancient seat of learning, a deep responsibility, to yourselves, your families and your country - the profound obligation of availing yourselves to the utmost, during the short period of your residence on this foundation, of the able, sound and philosophical instruction which is daily offered to you. When you shall leave these halls, and a few years shall have left their impress upon your characters, this obli gation, instead of diminishing, will, as time wears on, like the clayey figure in Franken stein, enlarge and dilate in all its lineaments and proportions, till it strikes the heart with a deep and unavailing sorrow for opportunities neglected and immunities despised. I often look back, with a cordial reverence, to the me mory of the instructors who once occupied the seats of those around me, and recall their untiring zeal, their kindness, patience and perseverance. Even now I hear from the shadowy recesses of the past the tremulous voice of the amiable and excellent Bowden. I evoke from their dread abodes the spectral forms of Wilson, and Kemp, and Harris, and contemplate the noble proportions of the late Provost of this College, John Mitchell Mason.
