Excerpt from The Higher Education: An Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of the College of New Jersey To-day we come up hither to behold what revo lution has been wrought here by the quiet energy of taste and money. Honor to the men who have so nobly set their hand to this long needed work. The Gymnasium, the Observatory, the Reunion Hall, the Chapel, Dickinson Hall, the New Library and the Scientific Hall Honor to the man who with stich princely munificence has undertaken these last three imposing structures together. And honor to him, who, not unmindful of the higher culture, as befitsthis College, proposes a new and elegant Chapel, to be the Sanctuary of this Institution. You can see the bulk of a full million of money in these improvements of the College. Honor to the College Head who has so wisely planned and executed the work allowed to him by these munifi cent appropriations. And we bless God that men of ample wealth and of liberal conception - the mer chant princes of our land - are finding out the grand est ends of money - the most truly useful, the most richly profitable and the most really lasting - build ing to themselves monuments in these enduring edi fices they erect, in the large endowments which they institute, and what is more and better, in the grati tude of long generations.
