Excerpt from Inaugural Address Delivered to the University of Aberdeen on His Installation as Rector: March 22, 1867 Gentlemen, - When, in a distant part of the Continent, I learned, through the newspapers, that I had had the honour to be chosen your Rector, my first emotion was one of something like regret that I had deprived you of an opportunity of listening to that most distinguished man who has done so much to make better known to us the Hellenic world, and whose name is so closely connected with those widely dissimilar but equally useful institutions - University College, and the University of London. Your decision, however, and that of your Chancellor, were surely not ungenerous. You preferred to give honour rather than to exchange it. You preferred to run the risk of being blamed for overrating any small services that may have been rendered to the cause of education and progress by a countryman and neighbour of your own, to placing, amidst general approval, one more leaf upon a brow which is crowned with so much laurel already.
