PETERSBURG, Va. — A New
York minister told a Virginia State
College. Founders Day audicncc
that “these exciting and anxious
days call for dreamers and ideal
ists in race relations, international
politics, religion, community rede
velopment and democratic theory
and practice even more than in
the sphere of science which con
tinues to leapfrog ahead of even
lime itself.”
He was the Reverend Doctor
James H. Robinsoni Minister, The
Church of the Master.
The occasion was the 77th ob
servance of Founders Day at Vir-
inia State College.
Dr. Robinson continued by say
ing that “society owes such a great
debt to its dreamers that it can
neither repay them nor forget
them. Yet our materialistic and
machine combinated society tries
vainly to snuff out the dream and
ridicules the dreamer.”
