Hillyer Hails Copeland As 'Example Forever'

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. All that he taught was precisely yet warmly of the best. No inference in the tremendous Harvard of my day drew its light from purer sources of diffused it more generously.

Of the hundreds who know and love him, few will feel that they command sufficient eloquence to do him honor. But the occasion must have its token, however inadequate, of so much more than can be said. May your life and happiness. Charles, long continue, as will your example forever in the tradition of Harvard College.
