Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Public Exercises in Connection With the 57th Annual Convention of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity: Held With the Yale Chapter, May 7 and 8, 1889
The writers of the old world have a some what jealous fashion oi saying to us, Yes, you have great physical resources, but wait until you have exhausted your virgin soil. They tell us that we are using up what has been laid up for us for millions of years; they ask us to wait, before we judge of our success, until we have exhausted our mines of coal and our veins of gold and silver. They try to per suade us that all our physical advantages, of which they tell us we boast too much, come to us simply from these stores of the past, which have been laid up for us. I do not see that. There seems to be a plenty of virgin land in Africa, there is a plenty of mines of gold and silver and copper there. There are plenty of mines and plenty of virgin soil in South Amer ica, in Mexico and in Canada. But I do not see in either of these, a nation, happy and proud and strong. I do not see a nation which calls in emigrants from all parts of the world, anation which cannot estimate its own wealth, a nation, of which the noblest victory is that, for these people, born upon its soil or attracted by its fame, it has made so many.
