that contrary to olden times, ours
was not a walled city and our en-
frances were neither guarded nor
locked, especially to such honored
guests as they were; that the citi-

honored because their guests repre-
scented the leading thought in eduoa-
tion, religion and general advance
ment of mankind in Southeast Mis-

to offer. He expressed the sentiment
of our people when he said that it was
our fondest desire that those who Wis
