at your February meeting each year, the name and example of such a lawyer should be extolled, here in the region from which he came, here within sight of the scene of some of his great contests. You are of course awar e, as am I , that I can say nothing new about him and can add no luster to his name. Great heritages and traditions are kept alive by repetition, which serves such a purpose better than would any straining for novelty or variety. Otherwise I would not have been so vain as to try to do what you asked.
