Many reasons impel US to this
course.
First. We assOom that 700 arc

head Nv our fakulty, the Northern
Democracy wood shell out ther
stamps with q liberaity never be

would be endowed heftier than any
similar institooshn in the country.
The Kings name is a tower NV
strength. Remember that the De,
mocracy Nv the North gave the excl
Vallandigum $4,000 in ten cent
contriboOshens. IF they'd do that
for him and sich, wat woodent they
do for 700? The great swalers up
the lesser. There never will be
sich a favorable opportoonity Tor
yoo to become ten center, which
is trooly equivalent TO bein a he'd
