advantage to the public. And while the same great object continues to be pursued, by faithful endeavours to cultivate the understandings of youth, and by a steady attention to discipline, it is hoped, that you will have the satisfaction to observe the same effects produced, and that the scene will be realised, which our POETESS has so beautifully described:
When this, this little group their Country calls
From academic shades and learned halls,
To fix her laws, her spirit to sustain,
And light up glory through her wide domain;
Their various tastes in diff'rent arts display'd,
Like temper'd harmony of light and shade,..
With friendly union in one mass shall blend,
And this adorn the state, and that defend.
