I took a great interest in the founding of the famous Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and I was the first person named in its Act of Incorporation.
I am afraid they have of late yielded for a time to one strong temptation and missed an opportunity for still greater glory, that never will come back.

It is utterly impossible for me to support the Buffalo nomination.
