...born very humble and, I may say, of poor people. I have never forgotten it and I shall never forget it, and when I realized that I was in a position where I might serve the poor, the suffering, those in need, that I might make them conscious of our common Father, even now I feel that there was an obligation to do so. There is a great consolation and a great reward, Mr. Senator, that you have referred to my work for the poor...
When I first read of this bequest it pleased me to think that here was really an example of a wealthy and influential Southerner who was willing to forget the unfortunate Civil War and make the people of the South realize that the damyank folks of the North were really as kind, as generous, as truly human as the "old South" folks themselves were.

Mr. Train's own undergraduate career at Harvard, twoscore years ago, seems to have been rather lonely, punctuated chiefly by one glorious trip to Boston which ended in an almost unconscious invasion of the dean's study. But forget Cambridge of forty years ago and turn to Brown when Mr. Train's father was an undergraduate at Providence. Here is the bill he paid: To Tuition $12.00 Room rent 3.00 University Library 1.00 Steward's salary 2.00 Servants' hire, printing, etc 2.00 Repairs .55 Commons bill 8 weeks...
