* 



Mr. President, 



Colleagues, and Gentlemen, — 

 My instructions are explicit. Once every year, 

 said Harvey, in the deed of conveyance of his 

 patrimonial estate as a gift to the College, some 

 one shall make an oration publickly in the College, 

 "wherein shall be a commemoration of all the 

 benefactors of the said College by name, and what 

 in particular they have done for the benefit of 

 the said College, with an exhortation to others to 

 imitate those Benefactors and to contribute their 

 endeavours for the advancement of the Society, 

 according to the example of those Benefactors,
