speech. He mentioned gladly that this year the seminary will celebrate the
60th anniversary of its re-opening, and that there are no more of the
difficulties which existed in 1945.

After the entrance examinations 43 applicants have entered the seminary, and
there are on the whole 240 students in the seminary.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
