tbe social circle or in biz public displays and whom We
might proudly present foreigner, as an example OF
N. development of manhood in America. As Se shall

which We have enjoyed
Dr Caldwell was no common man; and in any pur-
.uit which he mght have chosen in any age or nation
he would have stood IN the front rank among the leaders
of his race He was one of those whose ample physical
uoral and intellectual developments placed hun at once
in the lead in whatever enterprise he engaged and
without struggle for the petition, he was naturally
leader
The elements of his greatness were found, first
