Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1916, Vol. 40 Mr. President, Fellow Members of the Historical Society, and Distinguished Guests of the Bench and Bar: We have met tonight to do honor to the memory of one who for nineteen years was our Senior Vice President - from November 12, 1896, to July 4, 1915 - and who for fifty-five years was in close personal and official relationship to our active work. Beginning with a life membership in 1859, when he was but twenty-five years of age, he was elected a member of the Council in 1881, becoming President of the Council in 1883, and holding that office until his death; filling acceptably, as manifested by successive re-elections, one of the Vice Presidencies of the Society until, through the deaths of Judge Craig Biddle and Dr. Henry Charles Lea, he attained seniority in 1896, becoming at the same time a Trustee of the Gilpin Library. During all these years he was in hearty sympathy with our purposes, and by generous gifts added substantially to our treasures.

In formulating the plans for this occasion, the Council of the Society felt that the more serious aspects of our work should be stressed, rather than the large functions and ceremonies that accom panied our One Hundredth Anniversary. A centennial is an appro priate time for such festivities, but this off-anniversary year called for a more practical celebration. The Council's main consideration, therefore, was to do something of more than passing interest, some thing that would focus attention on the Society's primary functions. Our F conders recognized these functions clearly, and incorporated them in the Charter of the Society by stating that our purpose was threefold: to collect, to preserve, to elucidate.
