In Memory of George Washington One hundred years ago Daniel Webster predicted at the Washington Day Ban- quet, the great Bi-Centennial Celebration which we are carrying out this year. He said: “A hundred years hence, other disciples of Washington will celebrate his birth, with no less sincere admiration than we now commemorate it. When they shall meet as we now meet, to do themselves and him that honor, so surely as they shall see the blue summits of his native mountains rise in the horizon, so surely as they shall be- hold the river on whose banks he lived, and on whose banks he rests, still flowing on toward the sea, so surely may they see, as we now see, the flag of the Union floating on the top of the Capitol; and then, as now, may the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country.” Thus we, Murphians, feel that we must do our share by commemorating this small section of our annual to the great father of our country, and the use of the Colonial theme throughout the book to bring back memories of the days of George Washington.
