Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Corps of Cadets of the United States Military Academy
TO be the organ Of the Board upon this occasion, is to me a peculiarly pleasant Office. Although many if not most Of your Officers and professors have both entered and graduated from the Academy since I was a cadet, I still see around me several Of those with whom I passed through a portion Of my academic career. Some Of these gentlemen were my classmates and per sonal friends-others assisted my feeble steps along the rough roads Of mathematics - and some even at that time commanded my respect, from the indications they gave Of that character, eminence, and fame, they have since so successfully won, and now so worthily enjoy.
