...Harvard Alumni Association, the entire assembly rose and stood in silent tribute. Silently they watched the President-Emeritus mount to the platform and walk slowly to his seat of honor in the center. Then came a sudden spontaneous burst of applause. The music of the orchestra became louder as the rest of the procession walked slowly into the hall before Chief Justice Taft and President Lowell, followed by Dean Briggs and President Angell of Yale, headed the long line of notables who slowly mounted the platform and took their places on President Eliot's right hand...
