troduced Prof. Moore very fittingly
as one who was devoting his life's
work to intoxicating in the youth of
k our State the high principles, ideas
and aspirations from fathers and
GRANDPA thers who bled and died for
principle.
= Prof. Moore spoke we'll upon Me-
morals. The language was simple
and strong. He urged the training
of the children in the history Of the
late unpleasantness and that they be
encouraged to revere heroes. He quot
ed the undying inscription that catch
es so many eyes and stimulates so
many hearts which adOrns the monu-
ment to the Confederate soldiers in
the capitol grounds. He paid glow
ing tribute to the heroines who re-
manned at home and helped and en-
couraged and inspired the soldier at
the front. He also referred to the
monument that is soon to be erected
in their memory. He dwelt at length
,1pon the way that Harvard has
adopted to commemorate those Of her
alumni who fell in the COS. Memoir
ial Halls walls are full of bronze
tablets placed there in their behalf.
But most beautiful Of all is the fact
that prejudice is giving way to the
recognition of merit, for they are en-
deavoring to obtain the names OF our
Southern sons and accord them all
due honor. When the classic walls
of Harvard are equally adorned with
the names of those who wore the grey
instead of the blue-much, very much
will have been accomplished towards
relieving the feeling that still turks
within the hearts of many and soft
ening the distinction between the
dwellers north.and south Of the Ma
son and Dixon line.
