Excerpt from Address, Delivered to the Graduates of Rutgers College: At Commencement Held in the Reformed Dutch Church, New Brunswick, N. J. July 20, 1831
Gentlemen Graduates:
The period has arrived at which you pass from our halls, to enter upon a new course of action. You will soon be engaged in various pursuits, and in more immediate preparation to act your parts in the great drama of life.
There has never been an era, perhaps, in the history of the world, more deeply interesting than the present, or more pregnant with extraordinary events.
The day in which we live, is indeed in science, in politics, and in religion, most eventful. The whole world appears to be more or less agitated. The population of Europe is heaving like the waves of the ocean in a storm.
