You must not fail to understand the implications of the point so superbly stated to you this summer by Dr. Baxter when he said, "Shocking as is the paradox of poverty amid abundance, of millions in want in a land whose productive resources are enormous and capable of enormous expansion, it is no more shocking than the neglect of opportunity for education by thousands of those who are privileged to be enrolled in our institutions of learning, and who have, of their own choice, consigned themselves to intellectual...
