The only students I reach are the Hindus. Perhaps Madeline Morton I don't quite make her out. I too must have gone into a dead stratum. But I can get back. FEJEVARY: I think we'll have to let the Hindus go. Our best students? FEJEVARY: This college is for Americans. I'm not going to have foreign revolutionists come here and block the things I've spent my life working for.
FELIX: I think you're entirely right, Uncle Silas. But it's the practical question that SILAS: If you're right, the practical question is just a thing to fix up. FEJEVARY: I fear you don't realize the immense amount of money required to finance a college. The land would be a start. You would have to interest rich men; you'd have to have a community in sympathy with the thing you wanted to do.
GRANDMOTHER: I don't need wine. SILAS: Well, I don't know as we need it. GRANDMOTHER: No, I don't know as you do. But I didn't go to war. FEJEVARY: Then have a little wine to celebrate that. GRANDMOTHER: Well, just a mite to warm me up. Not that it's cold. I was talking to that young whippersnapper about the Indians.
MADELINE: Do you know, Uncle Felix I'm afraid that's true? And now that it's different easier he can't come into the world that's been earned. Oh, I wish I could help him! MADELINE: What's that? That's Horace's call. That's for his gang. Are they going to start something now that will get Atma in jail? FEJEVARY: More likely he's trying to start something. FEJEVARY: This window stays closed.
Do you know that in America today there are women in our prisons for saying no more than you've said here to me! MADELINE: Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself! FEJEVARY: I? Ashamed of myself? MADELINE: Yes! Aren't you an American? Are they coming back? Professor Holden here quick! MADELINE: I say so! VOICE: And who are you talking for? MADELINE: I am talking for Morton College!
But you see, or rather, what you don't see is, you have to look at the world in which you find yourself. The only way to stay alive is to grow big. It's been hard, but I have tried to carry on. HOLDEN: And so have I tried to carry on. But it is very hard carrying on a dream. FEJEVARY: Well, I'm trying to make it easier. HOLDEN: Make it easier by destroying the dream? FEJEVARY: Not at all.
His picture really should be in Memorial Hall, but I thought Uncle Silas would like to be up here among the books, and facing the old place. SENATOR: We Americans have lots of sentiment, Mr Fejevary. It's what makes us what we are. You can see it from the whole country round. FEJEVARY: Yes, that was Uncle Silas' idea. He had a reverence for education.
FEJEVARY: Of course not. One couldn't think that of Morton College. But that pay them a little more, interests me. That's another reason I want to talk to your committee on appropriations. We claim to value education and then we let highly trained, gifted men fall behind the plumber. SENATOR: Well, that's the plumber's fault. Let the teachers talk to the plumber.
FEJEVARY: I think she has given it something it wouldn't have had without her. Certainly a place in the town that is good for it. And you haven't met our president yet. SENATOR: Guess, I've met the real president. FEJEVARY: Oh no. I'm merely president of the board of trustees. SENATOR: 'Merely! FEJEVARY: I want you to know President Welling. He's very much the cultivated gentleman.
FEJEVARY: May I ask why you have appointed yourself guardian of these strangers? MADELINE: Perhaps because they are strangers. FEJEVARY: Well, they're the wrong kind of strangers. MADELINE: Is it true that the Hindu who was here last year is to be deported? Is America going to turn him over to the government he fought? FEJEVARY: I have an idea they will all be deported.
