at knox, we are very proud of our abolitionist beginnings. we were founded as was noted earlier 175 years ago. our founders then imagined into being at a time when this was an heroic effort, a town on the prairie in galesburg, illinois, distinguished by the presence of a college, a college that would be open to all students of talent and promise irrespective of means, of race, of color or creed. to this day we honor those commitments in many ways on our prairie campus, including our exceptional lincoln studies center, home to two of the nation's most renowned lincoln scholars, rodney davis, and two-time lincoln prize winner douglas wilson. the most recent book together, "the lincoln douglas debates," has been hailed as the most complete record of those debates. instructive perhaps in this campaign year. the fifth of those debates i'm very proud to say was held in 1858 on the knox college campus. i'm delighted today to introduce yet another example of how knox college has served and been inspired by the past. owen muelder, class of 1965 -- '63

a knox college trustee by the name of samuel geld wright kept a wonderful diary of his life living in western illinois. and it's a real piece of gold for a person who does the kind of research that you and i take part in. and in wright's diary he actually alludes to hard numbers. in one of his entries he says, i aided a fugitive slave today in making 21 in number who have passed through this region since i've lived here. i probably would be better off asking you if you might want to answer your own question, but i'm a little leery of making an estimate on those numbers, but i'll say this. as you well know, it's one of the things that fascinates all of us who have studied this subject. feeling for the underground >> during the time especially in the underground railroad, was it talked about in newspapers? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. there are a number of ways that you have to dig into the subject, and fergus is right, this is a very difficult subject to research because for the most part, these people were secretive about what they were up to. with some exceptions, like owen lovejoy
