his face stern, determined and posi-
tive, knowing he has charted his
course and is sailing the direction we
passengers want to go; confident ne
will land us in that port where con-
tinued freedom of thought, expression
and life prevails. Never has he veer-
ed from his course. Never has he
deserted us or given up in despair!
Had he, where would we be now? l
dare to think we would not be as
thrilled and eager to embark upon
careers. l rather think we would be
like the youth of Poland and Holland
whose cherished ideals of freedom
have been trodden under the iron heel
of a dictator.
Our belief in the Creator, our ma
! tural resources, our great inventions,
expansive industries, agricultural
land yielding abundantly, the billions
appropriated for national defense
and unity and for the prosperity and
happiness of our citizens, our Cap
itol-the very heart of our nation con-
tacting all by it's laws, "of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the peo-
ple", freedom of family and commun-
ity life, and our incompatible educa-
tional system which has made pos
sible our glorious country-all these
compose my inheritance, beqneathed
me by Uncle Sam.
| Of the many things Uncle San
means to me, education is foremost
Literature, science, art, biography
proficient teachers, scientific, re-
search-all things requisite for {
well-rounded life-have been placed
at our disposal. Soon other. you'll
and will become voters in the great
} est democracy in the world. For thi:
great responsibility we have beer
patiently taught and trained through
our young, vigorous lives. No dicta
torship offers it's youth such liberia
opportunity for individual though
and expression.
Uncle Sam has given me a com
posite unity of power, wealth, pro
, gress, liberty, justice, and education
At this stage in my life, education
, has more directly influenced me thai
the other factors. To show my ap
probation for my inheritance, I will
J. strive to be the citizen I have beef
trained to be, offering my services
. with a willing heart and a never
. diving love for Uncle Sam.

Plans To Open

ment funds of the school as we'll as
the available resources was presented
by the treasurer, Harry Nuttle.
The Rev. John j. Bunting, a former
district superintendent of the PENN
sula Conference, who long has been
interested in having the institute re-
opened, was relieved of a pastorate
by Bishop Leonard at the recent ses-
sions of the conference in order that
he might devote his entire time in the
field to survey concerning the insti-
tuition.
AS far as could be learned the only
basis at this time under considera-
ton for the reopening of the insti-
tute is to make it an accredited junior
college.
Developments in this connection so
far have been the putting of a field
man on the peninsula for the purpose
of making survey. The next move,
in event it is decided to reopen the
institute, will be to procure the SER
vices of an experienced educator to
set up faculty.
The institution was opened Febru-
airy 27, 1873, under the name of the
Wilmington Conference Academy. 1t
was operated under that name until
1917, when an endowment campaign
was conducted and the name was
changed to the Wesley Collegiate In
stitute. The institute closed in Sep
TENDER, 1882.
