Century Memorial
And who among us that enjoyed the society of the lamented Allen can ever forget the charm of his mild earnestness, the reality there was in the man, the feeling that he always diffused about him of devotion to the noblest purposes, and the affection with which even those who saw him only here learned to regard a character so gentle and serious, and a disposition so genial and engaging?
