which the school is held in Ven

TO Georgetown University by the

fraternal expressions of affection
and comradeship which the presi-
dent and faculties of the University
or Georgetown send us have en-
tered into the hearts of our pro-
fessors and students, and have
found there a most cordial well
come. Your travellers will be able
to tell you how great has been the
enthusiasm which your visit has
awakened, a visit which does not
come from a house unknown to us,
since besides holding in our mem
ory the scientific renown which the
University of Georgetown deserved
ly enjoys, and the marks of glory
of which she boasts, We remember
with that fondness which we owe
to all that proceeds from the
Father of our Country, the special
recommendation which he made
that. Fernando Bolivar be educated
in the celebrated and ancient col
lege of Georgetown, which we see
today converted into a great uni

Venezuelan students have distin-
guished themselves always by love
of liberty. and have sacrificed them
selves with Ribas in the holy strug-

receiving envoys of a University

holds always aloft the ideals which
the liberators of the North and of
the South loved with passionate de-
votion."
