WORDS TO REMEMBER
From the Salutatory Address by William G. Pugh, Class of 1913, SHERMAN BULLETIN May 1913:
" We came here, not that we be transformed into a new race, and lose sight of the fact that we are Indians, forgetting their ways and customs and ideas, but that we might become better citizens. We came that we might receive that training of mind and hand which shall enable us to cooperate with you in placing us on a higher social plane. Wecame that we might lay the foundation for character that will stand against the storms of time, and inspire us to high and noble aims."
Custer Died For Your Sins - Vine Deloria Jr.
