ET: For your friendly telegram my heartfelt gratitude. I am sorry that I could not be in your midst. Our Father above gave us the Vrije Universiteit. May his grace be bestowed on her to the end of days and may she be supported above all by the devotion and the love of the Calvinist people in Friesland.

Voor uw vriendelijk telegram mijn hartelijke dank. Het is mij leed, dat ik niet in uw midden kon zijn. Uz Heit daarboven schonk ons de Vrije Universiteit. Zij Zijn genade haar tot in lengte van dagen gegund en blijve vooral in Friesland de toewijding en de liefde van het Calvinistisch volk haar schragen. Kuyper.

In this cable Kuyper expresses his gratitude for a telegram sent by the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Association for Higher Education on Reformed Principles, which met on July 2, 1908 in Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland. The association’s telegram had referred to Kuyper as “Uz Heit [Frisian for “our father”] of our higher education.” The cable was also printed in De Heraut, no. 1593, July 12, 1908.
