They had been given to realise intensely that though the soul of Wales had been saved in the great religious awakening of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, it would soon be again in danger unless its mind was enlightened and liber- ated. It was the greatness and nobility of their purpose that sustained them. The event commemorated by this month's cele- brations was their first taste of success, but in the opening of Aberystwyth College with its 26 students, the gods could not have been said to have provided a banquet for the weary labourers.
