The doors
of the American Parthenon are ever open to invite the humble but
aspiring youth to enter and fill the loftiest niche. The highest dignity
is within the grasp of all; for the lowly boy, born and reared in our
own sweet valley of Cumberland, shall, when the spring comes round
again, be clothed by the people with the first of mortal honors--that of
guiding for a time the American republic upon her highway of glory.
DANIEL DOUGHERTY.
From "Oration on Democracy."
