vators of the intellectual and ethical
life and culture of the country and
their clubs are a national crown OF
glory. They have been receptive for
generations. They are now
equipped for service. The best as
pirations of the times have become
part of their Intellectual and moral
fibre. They are the vestals OF the
temple of liberty and their ability
to elevate the standard OF citizen
ship and life is beyond the possibility
of measurement"
