DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Addresses at the Inauguration of James C. Welling, Vol. 37 The public inauguration of James C. Welling, LL. D., as President of the Columbian College, took place on the evening of November 6, 1871, in the Congregational Church, corner of Tenth and G streets, Washington, D. C. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. James H. Cuthbert, D.D., after which the Rev. George W. Samson, D.D., delivered a Farewell Address, as the retiring President of the College. An Ode, written for the occasion by the Rev. Stephen P. Hill, D.D., was then sung, upon which the Hon. John A. Bolles, LL. D., Vice-President of the Board of Trustees of the College, delivered to the newly-elected President the keys, symbolical of his office, and accompanied their presentation with an Address, at the close of which he formally introduced Dr. Welling, who thereupon proceeded to deliver his Inaugural Discourse. The exercises were closed with a Doxology, sung by the audience, and with a Benediction pronounced by the Rev. Cleland K. Nelson, D.D., Vice-President of St. John's College, at Annapolis, Md. The following pages contain the Presentation Address of Mr. Bolles and the Inaugural Discourse of President Welling, as published by request of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
