Excerpt from Commemorative Address: Before the Graduates of Yale University, June 23, 1895
A regret, and yet a pleasant thought will arise in the mind of every graduate and friend of our University who returns to New Haven for this Commencement season, as he recalls the name and personality of each of two honored men whose long-continued service here has recently been terminated by death. William Dwight Whitney and James Dwight Dana were known for forty years or more by all who knew anything of the institution, as having their life within the sphere of its life, and as giving forth for its life, from the central forces of their own, rich and abundant influences for good. They entered upon their work for its well-being, and the well-being of its students, almost at the same time. They devoted themselves to the duties pertaining to their different departments of instruction and learning with a similar spirit of faithfulness and with similar enthusiasm. They impressed themselves in like measure on the academic community so soon as they became recognized members of it, and the impression was deepened as the community more fully recognized their presence and power. The years moved forward, and the results of them were discovered to be more and more affected by what they were doing, or had done. Their fame, which came to be wide-extended, not only in our own country but in other lands as well, united itself with the fame of the institution.
