Alty." An Historical and National Drama. 1816. W. IOOR. "The Battle of

Sident Witherspoon to the inhabitants of Jamaica (1772), in which he
outlined the course of study to which the students were subjected. It
indicates, very excellently, the classical training that Brackenridge,
Freneau, and Madison had to undergo. In fact, we find, on Commencement
Day, Freneau debating on "Does Ancient Poetry excel the Modern?" and
throwing all his energy in favour of the affirmative argument. And
Brackenridge, selected to deliver the Salutatory, rendered it in Latin,
"De societate hominum." (See Pennsylvania _Chronicle_; John Maclean's
"History of the College of New Jersey," i, 312; Madison's correspondence
while a student; also Philip Vickers Fithian's Journal and Letters:
1764-1774. Student at Princeton College: 1770-1772. Tutor at Nomini Hall
in Virginia: 1773-1774. Ed. ... by J. R. Williams. Princeton, 1900.) The
Princeton historian points to this class of 1771 as being so patriotic
that a unanimous vote was taken to appear at graduation in nothing but
things of American manufacture.[3] This much we do know regarding the
early life of Brackenridge: that he was always pressed for money, that
it was his indefatigableness and thirst for knowledge which carried him
through the schools of the time, and through college. His son even
confesses that his father was obliged, on one occasion, to write an
address which one of the students had to deliver, and to receive in
payment therefor a new suit of clothes! It was after his graduation that
Brackenridge tutored in the College for a while, meantime taking up a
course in theology. After this, he accepted a position as teacher in a
school on the eastern shore of Maryland, because the "Academy" offered
him a most flattering salary, and he could not reject it, however much
he may have been interested in his college work. No sooner was he
established there than he wrote to his friend, Freneau, inviting him to
take the second position in the Maryland Seminary. This position was
accepted by Freneau, who wrote to James Madison
