1992 letter from former United Kingdom Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to Samford University President Dr. Thomas Corts

THE RT. HON. MARGARET THATCHER, O.M., F.R.S. 8th April, 1992 Thank you very much indeed for inviting me to address the Sesquicentennial Dinner. It was a magnificent occasion and I enjoyed myself enormously. My visit to the Campus and the warmth of the welcome I received was overwhelming. The spirit of the students shone through and it is evident that they have been given the best possible start in life. This is obviously due in great measure to the unfailing generosity of the Donors. Their commitment to maintaining and propelling Samford into the 21st Centruy by supporting a continuous programme of excellence in education is a credit to all connected with the Unive r s ity . The video shown at the dinner was one of the most inspiring I have seen and projected a clear message of all that you are pursuing so diligently at the university.
