Century Memorial

Theodore Roosevelt offers a bright example of the consecration of fortune and the sacrifice of ease to noble works of benevolence. That charity for all, which was practical and efficient in the outer world, found its expression among us in kindly courtesy, which won the affectionate regard of his fellow members.
