...unusual honors conferred by the French and German governments reflected the highest credit on the University which he served. As the founder and director of the Blue Hill Observatory, he added enormously to a formerly meagre knowledge concerning meteorology and climatology. And it is chiefly to him that we owe what advancement has lately been made in the study of the air in relation to aerial navigation. Professor Rotch will long be remembered as a pioneer in that branch of scientific knowledge of which we have so far seen only the beginnings...

Mr. Bishop's chief is Colonel Goethals of the United States army, and I do not believe that there is any public servant of any nation to whom, at this moment, that nation owes so much as the American people owe to Colonel Goethals. Many men have rendered high and honorable service to the United States in connection with the work of the Panama Canal, but by far the greatest and most important work has been that rendered by Colonel Goethals...
