“By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land.”

It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing — "Carry a message to Garcia!"
