Book Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni Association of Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, at Its 104th Anniversary, June 16th, 1874 Dear Sir: - Great regret has been expressed since the adjournment of the Alumni Association, of Rutgers College, that instead of the formal request for a copy of your very able and valuable address for preservation in the archives, appropriate measures were not taken to secure its publication, with your permission, in pamphlet form. Prominent members, among whom I take the liberty of mentioning the names of Maurice E. Viele, Esq., and Rev. Joachim Elmendorf, D. D., have suggested that, as President of the Association, I should, on its behalf, solicit a copy for the press. Cordially approving the suggestion, I do now prefer this request, and assure you, my dear sir, that in granting it you will yield to the wishes of every one who listened to your oration, and who believes that the sound principles therein set forth and defended, ought to have a wider circulation, and a more permanent influence. Dear Sir: - Yours of the 10th inst. was duly received. Allow me to thank you for your kind expression of interest in reference to my address before our Alumni. It was not intended for ears other than our own, and will, I fear, suffer greatly in general estimation when "set in dull, cold type." This responsibility, however, you have assumed and made a compliance with your request, not only possible but imperative.
