Excerpt from Letters From a Father to His Sons in College
My Dear Sons,
You have escaped from the place and the name of school-boys, and have become members of a college; a college not only venerable for its age and standing, but also famous as the Alma Mater of a large number of the most eminent men that have ever adorned our country. This step will, no doubt, form an important ?ra in your lives; perhaps more important than either you or I now anticipate. In placing you in this new and responsible situation, my feelings have been peculiar and solemn. I have looked back upon my own college course, in another institution, with mingled emotions. The retrospect of its advantages, its pleasing associations, both with teachers and fellow students, and the protection and guidance with which I was favoured by a merciful Providence, at that season of youthful inexperience and peril, never fail to inspire gratitude.
