George Stuart Benson (September 26, 1898-December 15, 1991) was the second President of Harding University, Searcy, Arkansas. He wrote in "The American Dream," paragraph 3:
<The American dream is the latent fire that lies buried, awaiting a spark, in the breast of every American...the dream of achieving, the dream of contributing, the dream of fulfillment. It is all this, and much, much more-all of it comes from a bedrock foundation of spiritual understanding, faith in God, a dedication to God's laws.> 1898GB001
