For
promoting the public happiness, those persons,
whom nature has endowed with genius and
virtue, should be rendered by liberal education
worthy to receive, and able to guard the sacred
deposit of the rights and liberties of their
fellow citizens; and they should be called
to that charge without regard to wealth,
birth or other accidental condition or circumstance.—
