Inscription
In Testimony of
Unfeigned affection
The Society of Social Friends
Have consecrated this marble
To perpetuate the memory of
Their highly esteemed brother
LEVI NEWCOMB
Member of the Senior Class
Dartmouth College
In Newcomb dwelt a sound and vigorous mind,
By science nurtur'd, and by taste refin'd;
A heart benevolent, sincere, and warm,
A mien combining every winning charm.
His were those virtues, which so rarely blend,
To form the scholar, gentleman, and friend.
