At the conclusion of the ceremony,

The noble Prfsident addressed the assembly, and said that little remained after the pleasing spectacle they had just witnessed, except to congratulate the college upon the great success that had attended the study of Medical science. That success had been testified not only by what they had witnessed that day, but by the degrees which had been conferred on the students by the London University. This was a most gratifying indication—he would not say test—of the advantages which the college conferred and enjoyed. (Hear, hear.) He had carefully avoided using the word " test," as anything

more prostituted of late years than the hateful word " test " had been it would be impossible to imagine. (Hear, hear.) It only remained for him to congratulate the students, and the professors through whose diligence, learning, and ability the honours had been obtained. (Applause.)

The noble lord then retired, and Mr. Taylor, the treasurer of the college, having been called to the chair, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Lord Brougham for presiding.
