In Honor Of James Whitcomb Riley A Meeting Of The Indiana State Teachers' Association Held In Tomlinson Hall In Indianapolis 1905 - With A Brief Sketch Of The Life Of James Whitcomb Riley
Author: Various

IN HONOR OF JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY - EXPLANATORY PREFACE - Shortly after the election of the writer as President of the Indiana State Teachers Association, he conferred with hlr. B. F. Moore, Superintendent of Schools at hlarion, and Chairman of the Executive Committee, with reference to the programme to be presented at the meeting in December, 19... more »05. We agreed that in some way Mr. James Whitcomb Riley should be brought before the teachers of the state. We well knew that our good poet could not be moved by ordinary considerations, and that we must appeal to him on high grounds if we would secure his presence at one of our gatherings. We felt that for long the teachers of Indiana had been familiar with Mr. Rileys poems, and that they would be helped by contact with the poet himself. We, therefore, urged Mr. Riley to allow us to plan some form of tribute at one of the sessions of the Association. He had misgivings such a meeting among his close friends would be embarrassing and such a meeting in honor of one living and present might by some be deemed indelicate. We as sured him that the inevitable self-consciousness and embarrassment would be worth while in view of the object and in connection with the genuineness of the tribute, and that the officers of the State Association would be careful to explain that his relation to the occasion had been won by our insistence and was represented only by a modest consent. We then proceeded with our plans. It soon became plain that the meeting would take on large proportions. Great men, whose hours command vast honorariums, were glad to aid us without remuneration and for the love they bore Mr. Riley. The session was carried to Tomlinson Hall, with the conviction that even the immensity of that auditorium would not be sufficient to hold all who would eagerly join in tribute. The following programme and the printed addresses will show something of what that tribute was. But these pages can not fully reveal the mood of the meetingthe thought and feeling of four thousand people fused into unity. The gathering was unique and unparalleled. The hour was full of warmth and truth. The gratitude of the Indiana State Teach aers Association is due to those who participated in the exercises it is especially due to Mr. Riley for permitting the educational forces of the state to be the auspices under which such a noteworthy and dignified tribute was conveyed to himself.
