Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address on the Life and Character of Andrew Wylie, D. D: Late President of the State University, of Indiana; Delivered Before the Alumni of the University, by Theophilus Parvin, M. D., Of Indianapolis, Indiana, July 14th, 1858, at Bloomington
It is meet that this annual assembling of the Alumni, and the Commencement, should occur when external Na ture presents so much to charm the sense and cheer the heart. The Heavens with their golden sunshine, the goodly Earth clothed with rich verdure, and glad with summer song and summer harvest, smile a blessing upon man. What more auspicious moment for the mariner to weigh anchor and turn his prow to the open sea, than when the sun shines in summer glory from a cloudless sky? And staunch, trim crafts, freighted with golden hopes, to-morrow weigh anchor and commence their return less voyage upon the ocean of life. God guard them when the starless night and winter storm come.
