"It is fitting, therefore, that this should be a service of rededication to the liberty and the peace which this Statue symbolizes."

"We take satisfaction in the thought that those who have left their native land to join us may still retain here their affection for some things left behind."

"I suggested there that we should rededicate that Statue not to liberty alone but also to peace."

"I am glad to come here today and to wish to Brooklyn College the fine and successful future that it deserves."
