QUIET reserve and a placidify of movemenf combine fo conceal fhe abilifies of fhis frue son of lvlanhaffan. A genfleman and a scholar is our meagre fribufe fo one whose friendship we delighf in claiming, whose profundify of fhoughf we genuinely admire, and whose affifude of prepossession we franlcly envy. A genfleman fo fhe manner born, he has given fone fo various social occasions wifh his graceful presence. A scholar himself, he has always been willing fo pause and lend a hand fo some less erudife brofher. Combining all fhe virfues of fhe genfleman and fhe scholar wifh a superbly franguil good humor and a disposifion fo see fhe world in a roseafe hue, we arrive af fhaf pleasanf personalify we have hailed as Larry fhrough all fhese years. Well, Larry, our ship has crossed fhe wafers. We have all foo soon arrived af our desfinafion. This may be fhe end of our mufual confacf, buf we hope nof. Regardless of where your fufure carries you, remember us as we shall remember you. I95
