Education

' Education...beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of conditions of men --the balance wheel of the social machinery...It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich; it prevents being poor.'

Horace Mann

Professor Hugh Willoughby

Professor Hugh Willoughby arranged the facilities at the Florida International University.

Thank you Hugh!
