"Great as well as trivial causes have had their martyrs," said Miss Addams in the course of her brief address. "What we need in this hour of national confusion is the memory of a man who never allowed himself to see the little things in life, but turned his attention at all times to the greater things. As time recedes the world will finally agree that our friend saw life as few see it, in its greater and grander form."
