John W. Foster was toast master, and
introduced as the first speaker Maj
Walter ID. McCaw. L. S. A.. who said
General Sternberg's brilliant medical
and military services 10 the United
States had never been adequately re-
warded.
Or. George NJ. Kober made the princi-
pal address, reviewing the generals
work in Graduating communicable and

mon Wolf presented General Sternberg
with the loving cup and flag. Justice
Brewer also made a speech praisiug
the career of the man they honOred.
Gen. Stenberg. in replying TO the
speeches which had praised him 50
highly. was yisibly affected Among
other things. he said.
81 am overwhelmed by your kindness.
To enjoy the esteem of the leading cttl-
Zens of community in which one has
lived and labOred is the h CHEST reward
that can come TO an ind yidual whose
ambition does not lead him TO hope for
a permanent place in the annals OF the
worlds history. In my opinion, II is a
more satisfying reward than would be
the hope Of appearing in future records
as one Of the many who have accom-
plisned something for the advancement
OF human knowledge or for the material
advantage Of the human race.
