The valedictory oration, delivered at the first commencement
in Washington College in the state of Maryland, May 14,
1783.  By Charles Smith, B.A.  [2 1/2 columns]

Now peace and science shall disperse the glooms
Of war and error---and, with cheerful ray
O'er long benighted realms shed heavenly day---
