How could events more fitting come, That when our years are twenty-one, Our list of officers we scan, And find for President a Mann. A Mann in name, a man for work, A man who never learned to shirk. Whose tireless work today we praise, While grateful thanks to him we raise.

Mrs. Warren died at Hotel Bristol, where she had lived for thirty-seven years, July 31, 1916, at the age of ninety-seven. Eliza M. Gill.
