Lenroot has long been away from the Wisconsin scene. But he was a native son of the Badger State. which loses one of its really great 7eaders in his death. * * * The Lenroot family helped to pioneer much of the legislation which has made Wisconsin a leader in the socialsecurity field. We bid hail and farewell only to his physical presence from this scene because we know that the spirit of devotion to the land to which his father and mother emigrated from Sweden. this spirit of faithfulness and loyalty to the American way of life. to the United States Congress. and to the American institution of governmentthis spirit of Irvine Lenroot will go on for all time to come. If I could sing the song within my heart Of loves immortal. gates of death and birth. And sleeps and wakings. if I could. impart Some measure of my gladness to the earth.
