Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Notice of Pres´t Henry Morton, Ph; D: Of the Stevens Institute of Technology The present volume seeks, in a modest way, a wider expression for that appreciation which broadens with the understanding and deepens with the course of time. Like other truths, a true appreciation seeks to link itself to the future and perpetuate through time the merits of worth. The suggestion that the Alumni of Stevens present to their Alma Mater a portrait of President Morton, in token of their esteem and appreciation of his many labors, met with the most hearty and ready response. The Committee who undertook the arrangement and execution of the suggestion found themselves enabled, through the liberality of the Alumni and the proffered aid of Professors Coleman Sellers and A. R. Leeds, to issue the following biographical sketch as a souvenir of the presentation. At the mid-winter meeting of the Alumni Association, held February 15, 1892, the portrait of President Morton was presented to the Trustees and Faculty of the Stevens Institute of Technology. Mr. E. B. Wall, the President of the Association, delivered the address of presentation, to which Professor Coleman Sellers responded, paying graceful tribute to President Morton, his valuable work and their long and unvaried friendship. A reproduction of the portrait is shown in the frontispiece; it is a photo-engraving made directly from the original, which is a painting of half life-size, by Mr. A. D. Turner, of New York, an Artist selected by President Morton. It represents its subject in a familiar attitude and place, and may be well called a speaking likeness.
