Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address on the Culture Demanded by the Age
It would be impossible to speak, on this occasion, in fitting terms, of the long list of the departed Alumni or officers of this our Alma Mater. Some recent names there are, that we cannot but recall to mind. The varied acquirements and culture of Renwick, the classic erudition and strongly-marked manliness of Anthon, the liberal and courtly character and bearing of King, and the wide culture and critical taste of mcvickar, will ever be remembered in connection with this Institution. The memory of the noble Anthon is embalmed in the biography, happily as ably executed by his worthy successor ln the Jay Professorship. May some hand, as skilful, present us with a similar memorial of our late Emeritus professor - mcvickar, over whose mortal remains we recently witnessed the last solemn services of the Church, in which he had faithfully ministered for more than a half-century!
