Hillyer Hails Copeland As 'Example Forever'

By Oratory (-)

A greeting to Charles Copeland on his 90th birthday invokes so many memories of personal friendship and public benefaction, so much of the spirit of the older and more humanistic Harvard, that the pen falters.

Charles, long continue, as will your example forever in the tradition of Harvard College.
