Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ninth Annual Meeting and Banquet: Of the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish Society at the Hotel Bellevue, Philadelphia, February 10th, 1898 Coming from a source, at once so authentic and impartial, the foregoing statements of fact and opinion lend a peculiar emphasis to the historic truth that the Scotch - Irish have made large and potent contributions to the educational influences Of the country, and that they have left in this important field the same indelible mark of their intense and forceful natures which is to be found in almost every other field of human endeavor in the United States. (applause) The evidence of this fact is, by no means, confined to the purely incidental allusions Of Dr. Stille, but is everywhere most abundant and striking, and deserves far more attention from this Society than it has yet received. This is neither the time nor the place for developing it, but the effect of some recent publications (laughter and applause) to cast a slur upon the intelligence, the education, and the conduct of the early scotch-irish settlers Of the State, makes a present reference to it both timely and pertinent.
