Book Description

Excerpt from Exercises in Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, Mass;, Under the Auspices of the Cambridge Historical Society: Celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Richard Henry Dana, October 20, 1915 The fact that Mr. Dana's fellow citizens meet one hundred years after his birth to recall his life suggests that he had qualities which are not tested by popular conceptions of success, that he had elements of genius, ideals, and habits of thought which touch the deeper sentiment of mankind in such a way as to make his influence more permanent than that of the men of his time who were conspicuously successful.
