I am extremely fortunate to have attended The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, in New York City, one of the great educational institutions of America. There I received the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, majoring in sculpture, in 1970. Anyone interested in higher education in the arts, architecture, or engineering must know of this wonderful school, which provides full scholarships for all its students, along with an education unrivaled at any price.

I am convinced that when a true American System of Finance is adopted
which shall put all that circulates as Money entirely and exclusively under the
Control of the Government, MAKING IT RECEIVABLE FOR ALL DUTIES
AND DEBTS, Employment for all the Working Classes, and Prosperity for the
whole Country will be the natural and permanent result. - PETER COOPER.
The American People and Government cannot too constantly remember
that it is utterly impossible for us as a Nation to buy anything cheap from
foreign countries that must be bought at the expense of leaving our own good Raw Mate-
rials unused, and our own labor unemployed. - PETER COOPER.
