第二篇：On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the six Nations. The Indianswere invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of ouryoung men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal;and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you willtherefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had someexperience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the Northern provinces; they weretaught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in thewoods... They were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful senseof it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all weknow, and make men of them.
