From the beginning
these men were outstanding in all the activities that formed their schooling,
engaging in the exercises that became each stage of life, causing gratification
to all who had claim to it—parents, friends, kinsmen. Therefore, just
as if recognizing footprints, the memory of those who were near and dear to them
now turns to these men every hour in fond recollection, finding many a reminder
of occasions when they knew in their hearts that these were lads of surpassing
worth.
