About St. Louis (Quote)

October 6th, 2009

“Ours is the typical American city…that belongs neither to the East, West, North, or South, but which exemplifies American life as a whole. Here are to be found the culture and refinement of the East, the courage and vigor of the North, the frankness and freedom of the West, and the courtesy and chivalry of the South. We have sunshine enough for sentiment and snow enough for courage, and we have the substantial foundations of industrial and agricultural wealth to justify our claim to leadership in material as well as in spiritual achievements.”

Herbert S. Hadley, Seventh Chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis, during address at the laying of the cornerstone for Newton R. Wilson Memorial Hall, May 19, 1924.
