estate was left to the community. The answer ultimately shaped by
the Cambridge-Dorchester Committee for Higher Education met each
criterion: a college to provide education and serve as a cultural focal
point for the greater Cambridge area; a privately endowed and sup-
ported institution designed to generate rather than drain the com-
munity's prosperity.

On a site once the home of Indians and Maryland's first colonists,
Tidewater College will serve as a catalyst for new arts, new sciences
and new creativity. It will be a center for intellectual and cultural
excitement, a vital complement to this graceful community's proud,
old traditions.

Today celebrates dedication, but it also demands re-dedication. The
effort to found Tidewater College took six years, to develop the Col-
lege to its full potential could take sixty. Work has just begun and
until the alumni of Tidewater College exist in substantial numbers,
the Cambridge-Dorchester community must persist as the College's
first and most fervent supporters.

For all that you have done, you have my deepest admiration. For
all that must be done, you have my good wishes. Tidewater College
is off to a successful start and, in the words of Shakespeare, "what is
past is prologue. "

ADDRESS TO SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

OF THE GREEK ORTHODOX YOUTH OF AMERICA,

NEW YORK CITY

The New Orthodoxy
July 30, 1968

A Governor, by virtue of his office, receives many invitations to
address distinguished groups. Yet I cannot recall a more personally
meaningful opportunity than tonight's. For I was invited here not
just because I was a Governor, but because I am our nation's first
Governor of Greek descent. So I share with you that very special
bond of being proudly Greek and proudly American. And when I
say American, I mean just that; I mean all America — from Canada
to Mexico — the New World of which the United States is a vital
part but not the whole.
