Commencement address in Latin

[ca. 1820–1843]

A draft in Latin of a Commencement address given by college president Heman Humphrey in which he firstly addresses the Trustees, stating that the young men they have judged to be worthy of the Bachelor of Arts degree are present and with the Trustees' blessing he confers the degrees on them. He goes on to address the graduates, asking them to come down and receive their first laurel.
