Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni and the Senior Class, of the University of North Carolina: In Gerard Hall; On the Day Preceding the Annual Commencement, in June, 1838; Under the Appointment of the Dialectic Society Dear Sir: An agreement has been lately entered into by the two Societies, for the purpose of electing a member annually, and alternately from each body, to deliver an address before the Senior Class and the Alumni of the University, on Wednesday afternoon preceding Commencement. As president of the Diacletic Society, I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been chosen to deliver the address, alluded to above. This being a new, and, we think, an important addition to the exercises of the Commencement, we feel very anxious that it should succeed. - Permit me, therefore, individually and in behalf of the Society, to beg that you will give it the sanction of your name, and recommend it, by your acceptance, to those who may be hereafter selected; for we feel assured that the Society could not have selected an individual, more able to give to the exercise dignity and importance, and place it on a level with the oration delivered before the two Societies, on Wednesday morning. You will please to let me hear from you as soon as you can with convenience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
