lized her. What Greek slaves taught to
their Roman masters was then transmitted by Rome to Europe.
Then when this borrowed light burned low after the ages of darkness,
Constantinople relighted the world by sending abroad her stored treasures
of Greek culture. And we to-day are still living in that transcendent
light, and drawing upon those inexhaustible riches.
You know that the college where a man has been educated is called his Alma
Mater. Never forget that Greece is the beloved Alma Mater of the civilized
world. And the sorrows of her oppressed children should move us in a way
quite different from those of any other race.
