Governor, with other trustees, attended the anniversary
commencement of the College of New-Jersey. The exercises of
the day were introduced by a short, elegant Latin oration,
pronounced by the President;. . . [35 lines quoting speeches
in Latin and listing names of graduates, including Benjamin
Rush, and Master of Arts to Francis Hopkinson, Esq. and
others] The whole was concluded by an Ode set to music, and
a beautiful poetic dialogue on peace, to the general
satisfaction of a very crouded, polite and learned assembly.
