During the early 1890's, oneAlfonso DeIuliis, later to change his name to Diulus passed through the European gateway for immigrants at Ellis Island. As an Italian national, immigrating to the United States from famine ridden Europe, he was looking for, as so many immigrants to America at that time were, a piece of those American streets many new arrivals to the new world believed were paved with gold. For him, the real gold was education.
As the original guardian of the family flame, Alfonso personally witnessed the ‘Lighting of the 'Lamp of Knowledge’ that has now passed through five generations of descendants. Alfonso’s enduring legacy lives on through the Institute. Many generations are destined to learn by the light of his vision. ________________________________________________________________________
