Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Centennial Oration the Voices of the Past
Tonight we come, at our mother's call, to celebrate her centennial jubilee. Not a single absent member! For, whether in the ?esh or in the spirit, all have come, and to the roll-call of this gala hour answer here. Hoist to the top Old Glory's rippling colors! Bring forth the timbre] and the harp, and let the anthems swell to heaven from all the daughters of song. But, to warm our hearts, we need no other wine than Memory's. Horace may prefer the old Falernian from the Italian hills. But we'll drink to our mother's health in the rarer vintage of her own purple clusters.
