Summary
Mine own people, – mine in the common ideals which Vassar has bequeathed to her children; mine in the common training for life, no matter what its tasks may have proved to be; mine in the common purposes and hopes born of that good heritage and training: I should like to take you all into my arms, but unable to do that, I want to take you into the heart of my work. I invite you to green fields and pastures new, fields as broad as this great continent, stretching on across river and plain and mountain out to the wide Pacific; fields stretching on beyond the ocean and across the eastern hemisphere. This land is yours for the taking. Little of it has been pre-empted. Here you may stake out your claim and measure it by the square league, as the pioneers did on the colonial frontier of Argentine. Here you find a field rich and fertile, waiting for a labor force to develop it, promising an abundant harvest to the tiller.
