Washington the Man.
Washington occupies a unique place,
not only in the history ot the United
States, but in the history ot the world.
No man of such recent years enjoys
such a splendid perspective, America
views him, not as a man but as a
demigod. He looms vast, a hero with
the awesome, inspiring splendor that
invests the deities of Greek mytholo
gY. And yet, Washington the man is
very real to us
May his memory be cherished for
