Excerpt from Congressional Land Scrip: Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Letters of R. W. Hughes, a Trustee, and Gen. S. C. Armstrong, Superintendent of the Hampton InstituteAfter ascertaining, therefore, what portion of the fund shall be appropriated for the benefit of each of these. Two classes of population, the proposition then recurs, whether to divide and dissipate the quota allotted to each class, or to hold it together, and if holding each quota as a solid fund, whether to bestow it on some one object, which shall be found to be already so strongly endowed from other sources as to pro mise an enlarged efficiency and usefulness, or to squander it upon several objects, each feeble and imbecile from excessive poverty.I shall have nothing to say of that part of the Land Scrip Fund which shall be allotted in behalf of the white pepu lation. My concern, in this paper, is wholly and exclusively with the other portion of the fund, to be appropriated for the benefit of the colored race.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
