We Have Presented A Feeble Sketch Of A Century That Stands Out From
Its Fellows, Not As A Mere Continuation, Or Even Intensification, Of
Them--A Hundred Annual Circuits Of The Earth In Its Orbit As Little
Distinguished By Intellectual Or Material Achievement As Those
Repetitions Of The Old Beaten Track Through Space Are By Astronomical
Incident--But As An Epoch _Sui Generis_, A Century _D'elite_, Picked
Out From The Long Ranks Of Time For Special Service, Charged By
Fate With An Extraordinary Duty, And Decorated For Its Successful
Performance.
