Excerpt from Legal Reform: An Address to the Graduating Class of the Law School of the University of Albany, Delivered March 23, 1855

One of the most interesting things in life is the spec tacle of a class of young men, just finishing their pre paratory studies, and about to enter upon the world. The competition of the class gone, the excitement of studies in common over, they are passing from the con dition of scholars to that of actors. Our imagination follows them into the future. We see them embark, now for the first time, upon the open sea; where they are often tossed by tempests, and often becalmed, where some are drifted ashore, others foundered, and a few ride prosperously, with favoring winds and swelling sails, into the desired haven.

Such is the spectacle presented to us to-night. A seminary of learning, founded by the zeal and foresight of eminent men, who as judges and lawyers have illustrated the advantages of study, and whose love of knowledge has prompted them to take upon themselves the office of professors and teachers, here dismisses its graduating class, with the first public exercises it has ever yet held on such an occasion.
