Excerpt from Rafael Cordero: Elogio Póstumo Con Que Se Iniciara en el Ateneo Puertorriqueño la Velada del 31 de Octubre de 1891 Una vez más nos congrega en este recinto consagrado á la cultura del es piritu, el sentimiento de gratitud social. La Directiva del Ateneo ha querido solemnizar con una fiesta literaria la ins talación en sus salones del retrato de un compatriota benemérito, el virtuoso Ra fael Cordero, legado a la contemplación de la posteridad por el pincel de otro puertorriqueño distinguido y generoso: el señor don Francisco Oller.
