the work we have undertaken. 1 knew that,
however. before you came, and on behalf OF
all the friends of this proposed university
thank you for your presence and for the con-
tributions you have given this evening and
especially grateful am l to those who have
spoken to us and SO strongly presented the
claims OF this institution The people of the
country will know that you have an interest in
the matter here in Washington. The money
that you have given will have its influence
from Sandy Hook in the east to the remotest
west and not only to give, may also ask YOU
to pray, that Gods blessing may rest upon this
undertaken; for without that the millions are
as worthless as sand; but let Gods blessing
come and we will build for the ages"

met with instant approval and the board of
bishops will fix the day
