OF reforms in other quarters. which shall
rebound to the honor. dignity and even
glory, of our city. Where education leads,
all good things ought to follow. Now

the sense that we wish our poor watel,
our dirty streets and our bad politicians
to go uD. but in the sense that she moves
up to higher vantage ground, and from
her new position we trust she will send
out influences SO permanent and potent
as to make her factor in the regenera-
tion of this metropolis.
"Hasbrouck Institute. In the name of
the Hill and OF its people, l welcome you.
Take thou the lead In dispensing sound
learning and building sterling character.
and we promise thee our sympathy aud
our support"
