Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Honor of James Whitcomb Riley: A Meeting of the Indiana State Teachers' Association Held in Tomlinson Hall in Indianapolis, December the Twenty-Eighth, Nineteen Hundred and Five; With a Brief Sketch of the Life of James Whitcomb Riley
We then proceeded with our plans. It soon became plain that the meeting would take on large proportions. Great men, whose hours command vast honorariums, were glad to aid us without remuneration and for the love they bore Mr. Riley. The session was carried to Tomlinson Hall, with the conviction that even the immensity of that auditorium would not be sufficient to hold all who would eagerly join in tribute. The following programme and the printed addresses will show something of what that tribute was. But these pages can not fully reveal the mood of the meeting the thought and feeling of four thousand people fused into unity. The gathering was unique and unparalleled. The hour was full Of warmth and truth.
