a Fitting Memorial

The class of '0S has presented the
Academy a bronze tablet containing the
full text of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
The border of the tablet is an appropri-
ate design of Kentucky pine cenes-sym-
bolical of Abraham Lincoln's native state.
The address is displayed upon the walls
of Oxford University as an example of
how much can be said in the fewest pos
sible English words. If foreign Uni
versity is compelled to give it such a
place of honor for its rhetorical qualities
alone, how much more should it be
displayed in America, where every youth
shall see it and shall imbibe something
of its patriotic sentiment The Acad-
emy is fortunate in possessing the ad-
dress in such attractive and enduring
form. Surely it will ever be a fitting me-
mortal of the class of '0S.
