It is my prerogative, unhappy only that its compass must be brief, to present to you five men who severally are
linked to yourself by ties of Art, Authorship, Industry, Endowment and Statecraft, and universally by the greater tie
of Friendship, that it may please you and this University body to admit them to Honorary Degrees in this University
and bind them thereby to us as corporate Members and beloved Alumni.
