...hope that when another hundred and fifty years have passed away, some descendant of mine will say, as he lifts this cup, and reads the name it bears, 'He, too, loved his labor and those for whom he labored, and the students of the dead nineteenth century remembered their old teacher as kindly, as gracefully, as generously, as the youth of the earlier eighteenth century remembered old Father Flynt, the patriarch of all our Harvard tutors...
