Excerpt from Inauguration of Washington University at Saint Louis, Missouri, April 23, 1857

Fellow citizens With a degree Of pleasure which I cannot adequately express, and with feelings of profound gratitude to Him without whose blessing none can thrive, I welcome you here this day, to take part in the Inau gural Exercises of Washington University. The work is indeed only begun, but the few steps Of assured pro gress already taken justify us in large hopes for the future. Institution-building is and must be a slow work, and if at the end of twenty years we shall have succeeded in the full accomplishment of our plans, it will be a remarkable rapidity of growth.
