Excerpt from Occasional Addresses
It has been intimated in certain quarters that I would embrace this occasion to announce the policy by which I propose to be governed in performing the duties with which I have just now been clothed. If I had a policy which differed materially from that which has been in successful operation here since the foundations of this College were laid, this might be, perhaps, the fitting time to set it forth. But I am no revolutionist or iconoclast, if I were I should not have ventured to respond to the summons which has placed me in this chair. I have supposed that the honorable and reverend gentlemen who have seen fit to commit to my keeping this great and solemn trust have been guided by the conviction that, in some way, I may be instrumental in carrying out the wise intentions of the projectors and founders of this seat of learning.
