have been my pleasure to go be-
fore you in person and speak
separately or conformity to the
membership Of each one of your
clubs. But as this | can not do,
| take my pen in hand.
| think, yes, | know that Rich
mond and Madison County ap-
preciate, the Normal School and
their appreciation for and inter-
est in the. school is daily grow
ing. If Richmond has hereto
fore apparently failed to do her
full duty, it is due to the exis-
ltence of circumstances beyond
its control, but these have al;
recently changed.
Our Normal School has been
landlocked, surrounded entirely
(excepting small front on Lam
caster Avenue owned by DR..
NNilliams) by the lands of four
widow women to wit: Mrs. Ell
len V. Gibson on two sides of
our Campus, Mrs. William Irvine
OH third side of the Campus,
Mrs. w. w. Watts and Mrs. E.
7. Burnam on the fourth side.
All these four widows are most
excellent ladies and each main
tains and has maintained an ele-
giant, comfortable and Christian
home and even in wealthy Cir
cumstances, but only one OF
them has taken in or housed any
pupils for the Normal School t.
wit: Mrs. Gibson, and she ha,
done this for the Normal
School as she also did for Cen
tral University to the extent
that her rather small farm home
would admit. | am also inclined
tc think that two of these wild
ow ladies to wit: Mrs. Watts
and Mrs. Burnam could not have
sold any of their lots without
injury to their homes.
In the last year or two Mrs.
Gibson, Mrs. Irvine and Mary
Walker have died, and the death
of the two latter named makes
it possible for lots to be opened
up for residence and private
dormitory purposes and for the
city to be extended in the direc-
ton of the Normal School if only
lots be opened up.

Our Duty To Richmond and

My real purpose in writing to
YOU this article is to point out
to YOU course of action which
l conceive to be study we all
owe to Richmond and to Our
Normal School and Teachers
College. As~I go around in the

written to, the question do the
people of Richmond and Madi-
son County fully appreciate their
having Our great Eastern Ken
tuky State Normal School and
Teachers College located among
them :" | invariably answer such
questions Yes" But, often |
am told by prominent people
elsewhere this to wit: "Rich-
mond does not properly or fully
appreciate having the Normal
School nothing like Winchester
ror Paris or Ashland would or
Danville does in having Centre
College. which only has a small
fraction of the attendance Eas-
tern Normal has"
1t is because of these ques-
tions and statements and an
opinion rather adverse to Rich
mond which is being created
throughout the State that | in
my own hand write you this let
ter for you to think about, 50
that you will have Richmond do
its full duty, if it has not done
