Excerpt from A Farewell Address to the Students of Washington Collene: Delivered at the College Chapel on the Sixteenth of December, 1831 The time is at hand when I am to retire from the imme diate charge of this Institution. It is an event which I cannot contemplate without some emotion. Having made the first movements for the establishment of the College - Having been engaged, with great solicitude, in all the measures for procuring its Charter; for raising the Funds for its endowment for framing the laws for its organization and government -hav ing presided over the instruction and discipline which has been dispensed in it, from its origin to the present time, it is naturally to be expected that my feelings should be strongly identified with its interests and its prospects.
