It is high privilege and high honor to be a citizen of this grand republic.
It is in very truth a government of the people, in an important sense a government standing separate and apart; its foundations the morality, the intelligence, the patriotism of the people.
Inseparably linked with that portion of its history are names that will live with those of the Cabots and Columbus.
Never forget that citizenship in such a government carries with it tremendous responsibility, a responsibility that we cannot evade.
