correct IN calling the A. l.. S. M, Univer-
sily, the Alma Matcr of all my former pu.

9th. Mcssrs Sherwood, Wheeler and
W, W. IL, Davis, Esqrs. were members Of
the Norwich University while ! presided
over the said Institution and were ust as
much mypupils as were the Hon. Isaac L.
Morse and Y. H. Seymour, members OF
Congress, and the Hon. lIoraiio Seymour
at present, Speaker ofthc House Of Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature Of New York,
and the Hon. H. w. Cushman. member OF
the Legislature of Mass.--all of whom
were educated at Norwich aud NIiddletown
Nlessrs Sherwood, Wheeler and Davis can
decide whether they consider the Lit Sci
and Mil, Institution at Norwich, which |
founded aud over which | presided for SC
many years. and which is to be continued
under thename oflhe A, J., S. M. Universe
ty, IAcr Al'na Meter or the Norwich Uni
verslty as it now is and has been since
1913. The public may rest assured that
the University at Norwich, that is the A.
l.. S Military University will be conduct
ed on the same broad aud liberal prinCi-
pies that have ever characterized it, and
that every advantage will be afforded young
men for acquiring practically useful, civil
and Military education ofthe highest order
they will occupy the same Quarters
march over the same parade cround-havc
the use Of the same Library, Apparatus and
enjoy the same lectures and instruction
that eight hundred other cadets have done,
who have been members of the Institution,
many Of whom now Gil posts Of honor,
trust and cmolument in every section oithe
u. S. and when they shall have completed
the course of study required, will receive
Diplomas conferred under the sanction
of a R0ard Of ViSitOrs, composed Of dising-
uishcd Gentlemen from different parts of
the Union, portion Of whom have been
educated al the same Institution, and sign
ed by the JoWader of the Institution and
of this system Of education lcanuot refrain
from expressing my regret that large ma
jority Of this committee, whom have con-
sdered as gentlemen Of honorable prinCi-
pies, should have permitted the use Of their
names for the purpose Of inuring the indI-
vdual, who founded and sustained the a.
hove Institution from the 4th of Sept. 1920,
to the 18th of the same month in lS43,
during which period it disburscd above
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
the village and town Of Norwich, merely
TO CRAFTY the SorN'Id araricc and grovcing
malice Of an Hnpririphd and dCSpicdJh
CFq"c. In conclusion | have three re-
quests to make Of this committee and
through them OF the Board of Trustees Of
Norwich tnir0siy-yiz: that the Honor.
able Board refund to me certain sum Of
with interest on the same, which |
advanced for their benz fit in 1885, which
sum they unanimously voted TO refund (scc
Rccord,) but which al cr nearly tnyearS
they have not done.
Cd. That he Honorable Board will re-
pair and make good all damages that have
been done to Univcrsityu Qarters and their
appurtenanccs since they have had the &C.
cupancy Of the same under lease from me
dated April 18Th, 1914, on or before the
expiration of said lease on the 18th of
April 1915, as shall want to occupy them
Sd. That the Honorable Board will in
future attend to the concerns Of their own
Institution and not interfere with mine,
otherwise self defence may compel me to
develope certain facts relative to the Nor
rich University as it has been since | left
it, and Of some intimately connected with
it, that would not rebound much to the
credit of either, all Of which is respectfully
submitted &c.
