In vain are we loyal patriots, sometimes superloyal; in vain do we make the same sacrifices of life and property as our fellow citizens; in vain do we strive to enhance the fame of our native lands in the arts and sciences, or her wealth by trade and commerce.
Loyalty as a patriot is insufficient; similar sacrifices of life and property are often overlooked; contributions to the fame and wealth of one's native land in arts and sciences remain unrecognized.
