Excerpt from Proceedings of the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, 1903, Vol. 20 Mr. Schermerhorn: We all believe that the friendships of life and their fruits form the best part of that which makes life worth living, therefore our friends hold a large place in our hearts, and their presence is always prized. In behalf of The Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, it is a very pleasant duty to cordially welcome you who are at once our friends and guests of the evening, and to express our hearty appreciation of the honor conferred by, and the pleasure derived from, your presence. A glance over our guests falls only upon those who have so well deserved and often received distinction from their fellow-men, that we cannot hope, through this occasion, to add new honors; but we can and do attest our appreciation of those qualities of heart and mind which have won for you the distinction which the world has given, and1877 - 7'he Engineers' Club 0/ Philadelphia - 1902.
