Book Description
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Society of Alumni of Williams College, at Their Twenty-Second Anniversary, August 16, 1843 Forty-seven years ago, I had the privilege of offering congratulations to the Corporation, and Faculty, and Friends, of this Institution, at its Second Commencement. We have now, through the good hand of our God upon us, an opportunity of assembling on a like occasion, half a century from the time of its legal organization. The Act of Incorporation was passed by the Legislature of the Commonwealth in June, 1793, conferring the usual rights and powers of a collegiate institution, by the name of Williams College. I remember reading in a newspaper at New Haven, an account of the first meeting of the Corporation, soon after the Act was received, and of their appointment of Mr. Ebenezer Fitch as President. It was also stated that the qualifications for admission would be much the same as those at Yale College.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Address and Poem Delivered Before the Society of Alumni of Williams College: August 14, 1855 And it is good for us to be here good to lay our Offerings anew upon these altars; to Open our ear again' to the calm teachings of a pure science and a true philosophy' - teachings so often drowned by the hoarse voices ofthe world; and feel our pulses quicken with a fresh inspiration, and a return ing strength for the: toilsome day before Us. It is good to stand again in the midst of these handiworks Of Nature; to gaze upon these valleys, glorious with their summer green, and these' enclosing hills, and shout to them, as with youthful voices, our glad All Hail!
