Excerpt from Address Delivered to the Graduates of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy: April 23d, 1839
To comply with an established custom, I present myself before you upon the present occasion, having been appointed the organ of the Institution, in which have been pursued the studies requisite to qualify you for the exercise of your profession. In addressing you, however, it would be im possible to divest myself of the feelings and sympathies which have arisen from the relation hitherto existing between us; a relation originating in the part I have taken in the direction of your studies. Still retaining, therefore, the recollection of the ofiice as your teacher, through which I have been intimately associated with you, I conceive that I am acting in a two-fold capacity, and that while my claims upon your attention are' strengthened, I am impelled, by an additional motive, to execute faithfully the last o¿icial duty in which you are interested.
