Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Marietta Celebration of October 17-18, 1906: Containing Full Report of Exercises and Addresses Delivered on the Occasion of the Dedication of Fayer-Weather Hall and the Library at Marietta College, and the Installation of the Ohio Company´s Tablet on the College Campus The famous celebration week at Marietta last October came about partly by planning and partly through a fortunate accident. The completion of the new buildings of Marietta College came at the moment when the Ohio Company was ready to place the second of their beautiful tablets which they propose to distribute to the memory of the brave men who made the beginning of civilization in "the wooden country" beyond the Alleghenies. By pure accident the State meeting of the Ohio Daughters of Revolution was scheduled to be held at Marietta during the very week chosen for the celebration, and the Ohio Valley Historical Society, seeking a suitable date for their proposed centennial celebration of the Burr-Blennerhassett episode of 1806, chose this opportune week for a meeting at Parkersburg. While not nominally a "home-coming" week to Mariettans, it was such to a considerable extent, for the array of speakers placed on the programs of the various days was quite as distinguished as on any previous occasion in the history of the city, while the presence of Mrs. Longworth, representing Theodore Roosevelt, added more than the usual degree of interest to the reception Wednesday evening and the events of Thursday.
