...Copeland announced a reading from the works of Lincoln on Monday next, with the hope that next year and in future years the undergraduates would undertake fitting celebrations of the event, just as the class of '93 instituted the Memorial Day services.

It would doubtless be unbecoming in us to urge any such lack of self-consideration, but surely...
