The Bahamas and the West Indian University Scheme

“When the whole history of this noble struggle for higher education is written, those of you who read it will wonder at the blindness that led the government to obstinately resist so simple and so obvious a measure of justice. Perhaps the next generation while rejoicing in its inheritance that we are today preparing for them, may sometimes wish that they had lived in our times and were able to share with us the stress and strain and the joy of giving themselves so completely to this task, especially when that effort is coupled with the realization that triumph in the end is certain."
