It was. I believe. Oscar Handlin. one of the leading scholars of the history of immigration who said: Once I thought to write a history of immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were American history. It would. therefore be in order. I think. for all of us in the committee to contemplate and consider for a few moments the contributions that have been made by immigrants to the development of our country. It would be impossible for me to single out any particular nationality or to suggest individuals of immigrant stock who have made lasting contributions to this land. All nationalities--the English. Irish.
