Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Inauguration of the Rev. Francis Landey Patton, as President of Princeton College There is but one other Commencement In the history of the college, which may claim an interest as engrossing as that which centres in the Commencement of 1888. It is the Commencement of 1748, first in the lengthening series, held at Newark, Nov. 9th of that year. On the morning of that day, the Trustees, presided over by his Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Governor and Commander in chief of the Province of New Jersey, had unanimously chosen to the Presidency of the College, the Rev. Aaron Burr. The public exercises then began with a solemn prayer of the President elect to God in the English tongue (as the chronicle of the day reports) for a blessing upon the public transactions of the day, upon his majesty King George the Second and Royal family, upon the British Nation and Dominions, and particularly upon the infant College of New Jersey. Then the assembly were called on to stand up and hearken to his Majesty´s Royal Charter granted to the Trustees of the College. The exercises of the afternoon were opened by President Burr, who gave an eloquent oration in the Latin tongue, delivered memoriter. The address, judging from the report made of it to the Pennsylvania Journal, is marked by the breadth of its views regarding the province of college education. It recognized the fraternity of American Colleges, by a graceful tribute to Harvard and Yale "which have now flourished for many years, and have sent forth many hundreds of learned men that in different periods have proved the honor and ornament of their Country, and of which the one or the other had been the Alma Mater of most of the Literati then present."
