COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 17 cross swords with all who dared to differ. He says, " I was once an aristocrat, then a democrat, now I am a Christocrat." Certain of his words should have been placed on his tombstone. With them we may leave him to his repose, near the yet greater Franklin. "Posterity,'* he says, "is to the physician, what the day of judg- ment is to the Christian.'* Still among honored Philadelphia names we find next that of Gerardus Clarkson, chief of the founders of the Episcopal Ac...ademy, and brother of the Matthew Clarkson, emigrant from provincial New York to this gayer capital, who earned as mayor, in the yellow fever of 1793, a character for manly courage and self-possessed oflScial calmness. Benjamin Say produced no great work, except his son, the emi- nent naturalist. James Hutchinson was the ancestor of our honorary librarian, and, like him, a trustee of the University. There is a pleasant letter extant of the date of 1776, in which Fothergill recommends him to the Pennsylvania Hospital as a trained surgeon, and a man of "unblemished character." He had a good deal to do with the union of the College and University in 1791.
