Excerpt from Mr. Sumner's Address Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society
This year our Society, according to custom, has published the catalogue of its members, marking by a star the insatiate archery of death in the brief span of four years. In no period, equally short, of its history, have such shining marks been found.
Now kindred merit fills the sable bier, Now lacerated friendship claims a tear; Year chases year, decay pursues decay; Still drops some joy from withering life away.
