Excerpt from Rev. Elijah H. Gammon: A Memorial Address Delivered on Founder's Day, December Twenty-Third, 1891
The mind loves a shining mark. The emblazoned deeds of the orator statesman, soldier, stir the imagination and command the homage of men. The quiet deeds of even the great and good that have larger and more lasting significance in the welfare of a race or the life of a nation, go almost unheralded and often unsung.
