What would Maury have us do to keep alive the beneficent ferment of his Brain? We may learn only by an open-minded study of his life, as revealed in letters to family, friends and officials ; they are un- conscious self-revelations the portrayal of Maury by Maury! His greatness and goodness, his tenderness and fortitude, his pa- triotism and faith are all there ! Would that they were accessible to the youth of the world, which he served so long and so well ! The limit of this sketch permits but... a brief reference to his address delivered in June, 1855, before the Washington and the Jefferson Literary Societies of the University of Virginia; start- lingly prophetic was it of that fratricidal conflict which, six years 11 later, threatened the destruction of the government which Vir- ginia, not a century before, had been foremost in founding; also, sympathetically impressive was he concerning the duties of free citizenship. There is another university with which he was, in a sense, more intimately associated; not three months before the tocsin sounded which called the nation to arms, Maury was summoned by his old friend and mentor, Bishop Otey of Tennessee, to lay the cornerstone of the University of the South at Sewanee.
