"Here is where Newport's future life, energy, health, and happiness is to be conserved and preserved; here is where childhood is to frolic and play in sunshine and joy; here is where youth is to grow strong in the engagement of innocent sports and pastimes; here is where humanity is to gain respite from toil and labor in diversions that bring joy and happiness; and here is where the aged are to find rest in witnessing the pleasure of youth."
-- Frank O. Chellis, 1911
