Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department of Columbia College, New-York, at the Spring Commencement, March 12, 1863It is on this account that meetings such as these are especially commendable, and men return from them to their homes and duties happier and better. We feel, at such times, that there are many whom we love and who love us, whom we have never for gotten and who have never forgotten us, and that between us there exists a bond which never can be broken. There will be sorrow for our memories when we depart hence, a heart-felt thrill Of pleasure if we ever meet again.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
