Definition of AmericaBy Stanley Gottheimer, '37 America is a hundred and twenty millions of peoples;a thousand industries; mountains,waterways, and prairie.
America is a drum-beat calling together the farmers to oust the "redcoats." America is the ring of an axe, —death knell of the virgin timber— in the crisp northern air. America is a factory whistle hooting out the night shift, hooting in the day.
America is a timecard;a pay envelope;a five buck raise;a curt "You're fired!"
America is creditor of the world America is Desolate debtorDazed by dry,dancing dust-his farm blowing away
Europe is mellow wine,well-aged for the epicure;a fine, moldy, smelly, old cheese.America is the grape unbrushed,the milk and cream unchurned—but beginning to sour.
Mountains, waterways, and prairie,A thousand industries;A hundred and twenty millions of people
