was coos goodness to my husband and myself,
as evide ced in the many blessings we received
from him, that Inspired our hearts witn graft
tude and gave birth to this university. 1t
seems to me, therefore, most proper and neces-
sary that reverence for Gods name should
be one OF the fundamental truths there eX-
pounded. 1t was such feeling that caused
my husband TO direct during his lifetime, that
while no particular sect or creed should be
allowed to intrude OH the university, there
should be taught therein "the immortality of
the soul. the existence of an all-wise and be-
neVolent Creator and that obedience to his
laws is the highest duty of man" Will here
quote his own written words to me on the
subject:
'Reiigion is intended as a comfort, a
solace, a necessity 10 the souls welfare, and
whichever form OF religion furnishes the
greatest comfort, the greatest solace, is the
form which should be adopted, be its name
what it may. The best tor m of religion Is trust
in God and firm belief in the Immortality of
the soul, life everlasting"
1t is my direction that this vital and most
important fact be not lost sight OF; that the
students when they enter the university be
taught that every one born on earth has q

The prospectus which the foregoing gem

purposes OF the organization, as set forth
by Colonel Ethan Alien and Charles A.
Dana. 1t runs as follows:
This league, composed only of American
citizens was organized at q large and enthusi-
aStic meeting, held in the Fifth-avenue Hotel,
New York City, December IA, 1896.
The purpose of the lengue was expressed in
the following resolution:
ResotUed That this organization be called the
'Cuban League OF the United States" and that its
purpose shall be TO give practical consolidation to
the sentiment OF American citizens and the moral
support. OF the same In securing to Cuba. by all
legal means, the inalienabe right of self-govern-
ment.
The following paragraph from the CEN
trail leagues appeal shows the general
spirit of the movement:
While we willingly give our sympathy in
words should remember that there are
times when all empty hand carries no favor.
Such a time is the present, when the Cubans
stand in need of every necessary for life and
exhaustive battles. They must. of course, be
drained of resources, which our people should
supply. Arms and ammunition, and, more
than these, food for hungry troops and people,
with medicines for their sick and wounded,
may be shipped 10 insurgent ports with full
permission of our statutes. since with no
formal blockade against us, we may as freely
traffic there with the ports OF con tinental
Spain. To furnish these things, which may
legally be done, money becomes literally the
