' ,A,% the State' takes its character from„the
individuals that compose, it, a responsibility
devolves upon each member to perform wgl
his part, and to discharge all the duties in
cumbent upon -him. A failure, on- the part! of
one, detractil from the excellence of the
whole. The! School is tho miniature State,
and the disvipline of the School should 'be
directed as' Much to secure the excellence" 'of
the future citizen, is the. brilliance of the 'fu

- Of the ninny vicissitudes which beset the
pathway áf huinan existent that of separa
ticln, of bidding adieu to friends and cherish
ed, associationslcomes with the most Melan
choly, yet infli:xible mandate. When .the
tender ties are lo be severed, which link us in
active and mutual sympathy with those we
have learned ti regard as friends and co-la
tiOrers in a kindred cause, there is not a heart
among us,, so stout that it will-not feel the
calm, still vraters of earnest regret, welling
up from the quiet recesses aits in most depths,
and soothing, With' the limpid wave, thesti
fied grief of a sorrowing soul. It is natural,
itis proper that we, upon a time like. this,
ihbuld give utterance to words of mutual con
solation. But the performanee of this pot.:
lion of our duty, we should not forget that we.
have another duty to perform, equally as im
perative and more binding upon us from its
essential nrifurd. •
' Life is niadelup of the ideal and the actual

and anticipatiOns, underlying all cif *hid;
there is a stern and uncompromising reality.

the untiring eriergies,of manhood's.noblest

to2fertet out and remove the secret obstacles
vrhich impede ;the progress of man's trium

Author of our ibeing—these, and. more than.
these ' are the great objects and aims of the
life of him who lives consistent with the ob

And here may, the theme bring-one to the"
important inquiry which underlies the main
body of my remarks upon this occasion,' And
in 'pursuing its discussion I am allowed to ad- -
- dress myself alike to you who have given
character to thwe exercises and to those, who
hare successive years before pissed out from

Thus much cif preliminary, and I am ready
toinquire; Wbat is most conducive to the
successful elevation of the 'standard of true'

and by that great Arbiter of human action,

sovereignty of every citizen—uf preroga

presumptuous tho' you deem Me, I must
throw- myself gpon your indulgence, while 1

symmetry Of proportion -which is clearly em
