He remained a guest in my home for nearly two months, and, although almost wholly without the use of voice or limb, he spent nearly every hour in devising ways and means to help the South.

Time and time again he said to me, during this visit, that it was not only the duty of the country to assist in elevating the Negro of the South, but the poor white man as well.

At the end of his visit I resolved anew to devote myself more earnestly than ever to the cause which was so near his heart.

I said that if a man in his condition was willing to think, work, and act, I should not be wanting in furthering in every possible way the wish of his heart.
The death of General Armstrong, a few weeks later, gave me the privilege of getting acquainted with one of the finest, most unselfish, and most attractive men that I have ever come in contact with.

I refer to the Rev.Dr.Hollis B.Frissell, now the Principal of the Hampton Institute, and General Armstrong's successor.
