tion of these appropriate words, I conclude my tribute to one of 

 the best of men. 



"Peace to the memory of a man of worth, 

 A man of letters, and of manners too! 

 Of manners sweet as virtue always wears 

 When gay good-nature dresses her in smiles. 

 He graced a college, in which order yet 

 Was sacred; and was honor'd, loved, and wept, 

 By more than one conspicuous there."
