Excerpt from Intellect, and How to Use It: An Address Delivered Before the Cliosophic and American Whig Societies of the College of New Jersey, June 24th, 1862
Twenty-one years ago, an inexperienced lad - parting from his classmates-left the gateway of yonder College green to enter upon the march and the bivouac of active life. The auroral light of youth beamed on our pathway. The future rose before us in many~colored visions of toil and of triumph - of struggle and conflict, of sorrow and joy.
That future is 'now the past - sobered by experience into the light of common day. That lad is before you - an eager visitant to the home of his literary boyhood.
