Excerpt from Ceremonies at the Laying of the Corner Stone of the Arts and Sciences College Building of Tulane University, New Orleans, Saturday, January 27, 1894

To thee, to us, What now is ivory-towered Ephesus? Or Sidon's sculptured plains, Or Tadmor's classic fanes, Beside these fair, perpetual harvests growing From seed one good man's deed is ever sowing? Harvests to widen with the widening years Till they shall compass sphere and hemispheres.
