even in old ages, shone in the teachings of noble reformers and philosophers,
that spirit which makes men in all departments and positions work
not as much for any material benefit or compensation —
though reason may command this also —
but chiefly for the sake of success, for the pleasure there is in achieving it
and for the good they might be able to do thereby to their fellow-men.
Through his influence types of men are now pressing forward,
impelled by a deep love for their study,
men who are doing wonders in their respective branches,
whose chief aim and enjoyment is the acquisition and spread of knowledge,
men who look far above earthly things, whose banner is Excelsior!
Gentlemen, let us honor the artist;
let us thank him, let us drink his health!
