Excerpt from Memorial Captain Walter Mason Dickinson, 17th Infantry, U. S. Army My friends, we have met today to hold memorial ser vices for one who was dear to us all. It is very fitting that such hour of remembrance should be held here. For this was his home. These were the hills he loved. This was his college and here he came back in his riper years to share the knowledge he had obtained with his younger brothers. And if the simple story of his life may lead any one not merely in word, but deed, to follow the path he chose and take as his precious legacy all that was pure and noble and lofty in him, I shall feel that this hour will not have been spent in vain.
