Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Irvington High School in the Town Hall, Irvington, N. Y., Thursday Evening, June 26, 1902 This address was prepared for the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1902 of the Irvington High School, the allusion in the first paragraph being to the motto of the graduating class, "Out of the life of the school into the school of life." Save for the omission of some introductory remarks relating to the occasion, rather than the subject, of the address, the manuscript is followed, substantially as first written, including some portions which were passed over in speaking for lack of time. In the preparation of the address free use was made of Miss Tarbell's Life of Lincoln, published by McClure, Phillips, & Co., of Lincoln's Complete Works, edited by Nicolay and Hay, and published by the Century Company, of Lincoln in Story, by S. G. Pratt, published by D. Appleton & Co., and of Six Months at the White House, by F. B. Carpenter (now out of print). Grateful acknowledgment is due to Miss Tarbell, Mrs. Carpenter, and the several publishers named, for their courteous permission to print extracts from the works mentioned above. The printing of this address is due to no conviction of the author's that he has thrown new light upon Lincoln's character or said anything new upon a theme of perennial interest and significance for 'Americans, but rather to the gratifying and generous interest of the esteemed friends to whom the dedication refers.
