Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Commencement at Floral College, June 1853 We have hastily touched upon the m01°eprominent charac teristics of our age, more with the view of showing the progress yet to be made in the various departments of art and of science, when human character shall have passed the transition state to that'more, perfect developement which awaits it, and the'mos't effective means of reaching it, by a simultaneous and system atic cultivation of the entire character. Painful are the efforts and tedious the process by which this point will be attained, but honored is the position of him whose life is dedicated to a service so important to his race. Upon him rest not only the good order of society, but the progressive improvement of the mind. To him is committed the destiny of characters matured for eternity, and upon his skill in directing and moulding cha racter, unwritten history is yet to reveal.
