Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scotch-Irish Settlers in the Valley of Virginia: Alumni Address at Washington College, Lexington, Va Our Alma Mater was born of the habitual esteem for learning among the Scotch Irish settlers of this Valley. It had a genial nurture in the classic taste and training of their pastors - hereditary exemplars for their people, not more in piety than in political virtue. Its primal dowry was a tribute from the Father of his country to patriotism and valor, so long and often illustrated under his own eye, from the fatal day of Braddock's defeat till Freedom's crowning con ict on the plains of Yorktown.
