For the past year or more our thoughts have been centered on Europe, where horror and terror have been let loose every hour of the day and night. As we sit here tonight in peace and safety, we should realize what blessings we have in this, our America. Four members of the class are going to tell us about a few of these blessings, which in our program we call, The Crown Jewels of America. Perhaps after hearing them we will recognize what a glorious country ours is. We hope you will not only enjoy this program but will go home with something to think about. GERALD S'rE'rsoN THE HISTORIC AND LITERARY HERITAGE OF AMERICA Although America has no crown jewels in the material sense of the word, the gems she possesses are of far greater worth and beauty. Perhaps no nation, as young in years as our own United States, boasts so many inspiring historic and literary shrines. From the frozen wastelands of Alaska to the humid swamps of Panama, from the turbulent Atlantic to the tranquil Pacific, we find memorials to Americans of genius and cour- age. More important than the vast number of these monuments, however, is the influence they have on our lives. What one of us does not ex- perience a feeling of pride and patriotism when he sees one of these shrines, whether it be an im- pressive statue, an old homestead, or a simple bronze plaque? A visit to the haunts of famous literary figures, or to the settings of their works, seems to bring us nearer to their personality, and helps us to appreciate their books more fully. I know of no place which more definitely illustrates this fact than the famous Wayside Inn at Sudbury, which Longfellow immortalized in his Tales of a Way- side Inn. Its spacious parlor recalls to our minds the portly landlord, the student, the Spanish Jew, and all the others who sat around its broad hearth. Not many miles from Sudbury is historic and picturesque Concord, where stands the Thoreau-Alcott House, abode of Henry David Thoreau, and later of the Alcott Family of Little Women fame. North of the village common in Concord is The Old Manse, home of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and also of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who here wrote much of his literature. Cambridge is equally abundant in literary tradition, especially endearing to those familiar with the works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and James Russell Lowell. Near the ancient Cambridge Common is the site of the spreading chestnut tree of The Village Blacksmith. Longfellow's own stately mansion is still standing, occupied in later years by his daughter, the grave Alice of The Chil- clfren's Hour. Overlooking the Charles River is beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery, last resting place of many notables in the fields of art, letters, science, and theology. Foremost among the numerous historical land- marks of America is Plymouth Rock, landing place of the founders of our country. Part of the rock is imbedded in a wharf, and the rest lies in an imposing structure nearby. Of course we are all familiar with the majestic Bunker Hill Monument, commemorating the most important military engagement of the Revolutionary War. Farther south, in our nation's capital, we may gaze upon the grandeur of the Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to history's most human and pathetic character, the Great Emancipator. In sharp con- trast to the classic beauty of the Lincoln Me- morial are the quaint, crooked streets and shell- rock houses of St. Augustine, Florida, oldest city in North America. Here, in a peaceful setting, is the Fountain of Immortal Youth, as discover- ed by Ponce de Leon, the great Spanish explorer. Travelling westward, we come to the muddy Mississippi River, reminiscent of the colorful days of showboats, river trade, and drowsy Ne- groes humming melodious, soothing spirituals. Beyond the southern Mississippi lie the Texas plains, and in their midst the city of San Antonio, where stands the Alamo, famous Franciscan mis- sion where one hundred and seventy-five loyal Texans, some bearing such well-known names as
