Synopsis
Excerpt from William Barton Rogers, an Address
It is not merely in our relations to Professor Rogers as Alumni of this University that we owe him the tribute of our remembrance, and of our appreciation of his knowledge, his eloquence, his labors, his Virtues. As Virginians we owe him tribute for his earlier services at William and Mary, the venerable mother who long sent from her Halls a line of illustrious men, whose names are written in imperishable letters on the roll of the country's history. As Virginians we owe him tribute for his long-continued service, as Geologist of the State, - for his survey and reports, - work which 18 soon to meet with its appropriate reward, by the association of his name with the loftiest of our everlasting hills.
