Excerpt from Chicago Historical Society, 1857-1907: Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Its Incorporation, February 7, 1907 In the gospel according to Saint Luke, it is recorded that our Saviour said to his disciples in one of his parables: I say unto you, though he will not rise and give because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. It was forcibly brought to my mind when your President did not permit me to say N 0 after an expressed unwillingness to occupy some of your time this evening, the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of this Society, with some account of its early history. If the repetition of a twice-told tale wearies you till the chairs seem hard, let his be the blame. I would have avoided it, for it is not altogether a pleasure. The result of what was so many years ago begun is before you; this fine building, its books and manuscripts, its portraits, these last perpetuate as. Far as may be done on canvas, the actors, their faces recall their respective doings, and the promise Of what may yet be, yet these portraits are prints of foot-falls in the march of time; one actor the less, one more break in the ranks, till the place has some pain to the survivor who will not down.
